“I came to Vivian after tearing my hamstring and not wanting to enter the slow Kaiser system. I was afraid I wouldn’t play softball again, walk or get back to my normal activities. Not only did Vivian diagnose specifically what my injury was, but within 2 treatments/2 weeks with a good home program I was back on the ball field (yes- she did tell me I did it too soon, but I used a pinch runner) and am able to use my leg for working and daily activities. A possible nightmare was turned into a safe place to recover with guidance, ease and satisfied results. I'd recommend her to anyone and if your insurance doesn’t cover her - see her anyway - she is worth the time.”

“I came to Prevent The Pain as I was done with Chiropractors bleeding me for insurance and co-payments. I was initially skeptical, and cautious. After my initial consult, I was hooked! Vivian looked me over, and knew exactly what I needeed. My posture sucked, I walked wrong, the chronic pain in my back was a result of this, and until I KNEW what the problem was, there was no way to realize that I could truly be pain-free. After a few sessions, I felt 1000% better. She enabled me to be more in-tune with my body, and to know what to do and not to do. I am very grateful that she helped me with finding out the cause of my discomfort and pain, and treated that, instead of trying to fit me into a cookie-cutter program that helped pad her pocket book, and didn't really help me at all. She cares, and will help you! On a scale of 1 to 10, Prevent The Pain is a 20! I'm a new person since I saw her, and can't thank her enough!”

“I was in a bad car accident on July 19th, 2006. My car was totaled and I was taken to an Emergency room in Hollywood. I had severe injuries to my neck, shoulders and back. The injuries were so bad that I spent a week in bed and could not get out of a chair or a car without assistance. I went to the doctor and was given a prescription to P.T.P.T.(Prevent The Pain Therapy) with Vivian Eisenstadt. At first, I did not believe she would be able to help me because the pain was so severe and I was barely able to move my neck with out gritting my teeth. I was out of work with no pay and I had never felt so hopeless, but with her no nonsense attitude and professionalism she was able to pinpoint exactly what was going on with me and my body and went to work. After the first month the pain in my neck was almost completely gone. With each visit she asks exactly how I feel... what's going on with me, and what hurts... then she goes to work. After she works on me - I feel better and better each time. I'm on my way to a complete recovery which I did not believe was possible. Her approach to how she works is different with each visit. Not only does Vivian care about her patients, clients and employees. She's the greatest healer I've ever met or seen. She has an amazing staff that works in conjunction with her and all her patients. I hope that any person who is in the kind of pain I was is lucky enough to fall under her care. I'm so grateful to have met her and I would recommend anybody who has pain, no matter how big or small to make an appointment and let the miracle happen. Sincerely - James Cummings”

“Vivian, when I came to you , I was suffering with lower back & hip all the way down to me both feet for 3 months. I was unable to do anything and I had no sleep. Your treatment was so effective and painful at the beginning. You took a personal approach to my treatment. Which I am so thankful for everything you have done for me. My pain is gone and I lost a few pounds. Thanks again for your expert treatment. ”

“Dr. Mancherian, Thank you so much for the referrals to Vivian. She is the kookiest person I have ever met (which is a compliment) and she popped my ankle back into alignment. She also called me the most uptight, stressed out person (I was probably oozing negative energy all over her office), but I certainly appreciate her candor. Thanks - I'm seeing her again tomorrow so she can get me aligned for my marathon on Sunday! I posted a few days ago online asking for help with finding a doctor or PT who could help with my ankle pain. I have been going to PT for months and got a cortisone injection from a doctor and nothing helped. Another peachheader referred me to Vivian Eisenstadt at Prevent The Pain Therapy who popped my ankle back into place and relieved my pain in ONE SESSION - which the orthopedic doc and last PT never did over the course of months. Thank you for the referral, and I highly recommend her to anyone who has any kind of pain. Her approach is unorthodox, but she knows her stuff. I would recommend her highly to anyone with any chronic problems. ”

“Before I found Vivian I tried everything to get rid of my sciatic pain. Nothing helped me for about 6 months, but after just a few weeks with PTPT I finally could run and feel relief from my pain. I couldn't believe it! Although she "fixed" me I still refuse to leave her because of the effect she has on me. I feel stronger, healthier, and more in charge of my body than ever before. There is so little we know about our bodies, and it is so easy to change it thanks to Vivian. I'm not only stronger and healthier, but also motivated to run my best on my favorite steeplechase...thanks Vivian!”

“Vivian is an "iron fist with a velvet glove"! She gets to the root of your problem and corrects it. You may not always like what you hear or the pain of healing initially but afterwards, you are extremeful grateful and delighted with the results. She is truly gifted with healing hands and after going to many other physical therapists, I have finally found one that has cured me. Thanks, Viv! You Rock!”
