Devorah G Steinecker, DO

Devorah is wonderful as a body works healer. I see her regularly so I can continue to do sports and exercise without pain. Her office is a caring and loving place to heal. I recommend her for any person of any age who needs to heal their aching body.

Sometimes there are times when I wish you could give 6 or 7 stars — but unfortunately we only have 5 starts to choose from so here goes. She is a highly knowledgable, relatable, brilliant, outstanding health professional with a «can-​do» attitude (even when me as a Patient believed being pain-​free would be difficult to achieve).
Basically, after a horrendous car accident and utilizing many practitioners a colleague pointed me towards Dr. Devorah Steinecker. And boy am I ever glad they did.
Dr. Devorah is an amazing multi-​talented Dr. who is known as a phenomenal paediatric working with autistic children — but my friend also shared she is also a prominent Neurologist (and I was referred via her skillsets in assisting others become painfree from accidents, injuries and such).
So off I went travelling from Canada to USA: Working with Dr. Devorah has directly given me back my health and wellbeing back. The brain, neck and head injuries caused by the car accident are NOW balanced. Those who have gone through severe injuries (or seen loved ones go through such pain) can relate to what an amazing gift of being whole, aligned and physically strong again.
Dr Devorah also integrates: Mind, Body, Spirit therefore encompassing the many aspects of self. So her work is powerful as it is a very personalized methodology that is NOT «cookie-​cutter». Basically her work is uniquely designed and getting to know her patients on deep levels is important for she is nothing short of a miracle worker (okay I haven’t seen her change water into wine — but you know what I mean)…when walking was painful, sleeping was cumbersome — being pain-​free and healthy is a phenomenal gift, so I AM glad I gifted myself with the experience of working with Dr. Devorah for in doing so it gifted me back a wholeness in my Health.

Dr Steinecker is the «silver bullet» to sleeplessness. My 16 month old daughter has always been a poor sleeper — waking up several times a night which causes her to be sleepless and a grouchy pants. A friend suggested I take my daughter to see Dr Steinecker and it was like magic. Barring from teething pains or occasional colds/​flus, my daughter can sleep through most nights without any disturbance. It’s like a miracle. We will continue to see Dr Steinecker to make sure my daughter is on a healthy path. Thanks Dr Steinecker!

My experience with Devorah has not been positive, but that doesn’t mean yours wouldn’t be.
I came to her as a highly complex case with multiple severe long-​term health issues. She recommended three treatments in one week, and for all of them I was on the table 45 minutes or longer (I believe one was an hour and a half). When I inquired as to the ideal frequency of visits I was told that coming in as often as possible is best.
After the third visit, my health crashed with incapacitating symptoms of overexertion. I also began having significant breathing trouble from an ongoing throat issue that Dr. Steinecker had been fully briefed on in our first meeting. After several hours of throat wheezing with each breath I made contact with Dr. Steinecker, calmly communicated what was happening, and was advised to «talk myself down» and counseling was the recommended treatment.
I now see a different cranial osteopath. The throat/​breathing issue also happened the day after my second treatment from him. Rather than assuming psychological origin, he made various physiological recommendations that relieved the situation and has since identified the problem. Also, he finds that half an hour every 2 – 3 weeks is plenty and is extremely cautious about over-​treating any of his patients. I solicited a third opinion from another cranial osteopath who agreed the treatment I received from Steinecker was far more than *any* person ought to be given at once, let alone someone in my state.
Devorah is a humorous, easy-​going, compassionate doctor with skilled hands and significant ability to sense exactly what manipulation is called for and where in order to alleviate pain and other issues. It’s mind-​blowing, and if that’s all you need then you may well have a satisfying experience as her patient. However I required a higher degree of sensitivity to my body’s limitations and a more scientific approach than immediately passing off confounding issues as psychological problems. As a result, she lost my trust and my business.
