I'm Getting Sued!: The Dr. Chris Stepien Show 009

- Hey everyone, I'm getting sued!
Dr. Chris here. Greg the video guy didn't want the write the copy for this video, so here I am!
One of our Barefoot Rehab core values is "impeccable character."
I do everything I can to share all of our wins and success with you all. It doesn't feel fair if I don't tell you about a massive failure I had recently.
I hurt a patient so badly that he is suing me. When the lawyer sat down in front of me and said all of the things we were going to do to fight this, I said, "Hold on a second dude. I DID IT. I hurt his low back disc. I'm guilty. Whatever you want to do after that fact, so be it. But he deserves to have some type of retribution from me."
Some patients I've told said to me, "Chris, this is America. Most people will sue you any chance they get."
I replied, "I understand that, but he seemed like a good man and I want to give him the benefit of the doubt which means I'm practicing send him love and healing prayers."
It feels important to me that I share this big failure.
I've been teaching and training other pain doctors and therapists with Adhesion Release Methods since January 2023.
If someone was going to get sued, I'm glad it's me.

Ginna!! TY for sharing your words. I hope we didn't make you too sore last time we saw you.
I work in physical therapy, and you've helped myself and others tremendously. Thank you for all of your information. Please persevere through this situation and keep helping people
TY for your kind words. It means a lot to me that we know we are helping people. We will keep going!! MUCH LOVE!
That’s sucks. Good for you for showing. Patients who agree to have a body worked on take a risk and they know and hope they can push accountability off themselves onto the person who tried to help them. At the end of the day they need to be accountable for there own body and choice to risk allowing someone else to do anything to it that the repercussions are one them. If you commit a crime that’s on you but if all you did was your job then that’s on them or they can sue the entire medical industry to change. At the end of the day prepare yourself for court don’t settle out of court outside of what you already offered which was very reasonable and a judge will agree. This is let of business and you will be fine. Just always have the correct paperwork and protocol to make sure you do what you can within reason for the business. And remember they aren’t suing you personally it’s your business don’t take it too hard although I understand and agree why it’s tough right now.
I appreciate your kind works Nick. I know. Other people have told me similar things. Hard not to take it personally but I’m in a good place. Ty for commenting and showing support. ❤
Keep your head up because there are people like me and my wife that would do anything get some of your care
Thank you friend!
I appreciate you sharing Doc. Love your work.
Patrick my boy. It means a lot to me. I love you man.
We love you Chris ❤ In other unrelated news, the background music is distracingly loud 🤗
TY Zureya, we will tell the video guy.
👋👋👋👋👏👏👏 Love being. Real
I appreciate you Gary
I don't get it though. You '' pierced '' his disc by applying pressure with your hands? What exactly did you do to him? You permanently damaged his disc?
Don't be harsh on yourself 🙏. You were doing your job to help so that should be your mindset will pray that this person suing you heals. Only time will tell. You're doing great, keep helping people because that's where your heart is.
Thanks for yours words! Means a lot
You should remove this video before you have your attorneys approve what you say. The other side will likely use it. Remove it before they see it. You are only making your lawsuit worse for yourself.
TY for caring Nick. It means alot. Keeping this video up is me saying, "I did it" and that I'm trusting the spiritual outcome of my actions.
Open a go fund me Chris! We’ll back you brother! ☝️😎
Haha, that means a lot to me. I'm very grateful that I believe malpractice should cover it but we will see.
Please keep going. You are a revolutionary. No one else was treating people with chronic pain like this. It was physical therapy and pills or surgery. You are actually healing people.
I appreciate you Scotty. It means a lot. I told many patients and they all say similar things. ❤❤❤
When watching your stuff the only thought that comes to mind is "you are a man of great integrity".
Wow Simon. You made my day. Much love brother.
@@drchrisstepien a pleasure to give you this encouragement especially given the legal filing you face.I wouldn't go with the self-flagellation of the karma stuff I think it loads you up with guilt where there should be none. The world is burdened with evil and there are people who simply are malicious that do exist. You are a good man and goodness always disturbs those who are in the battle against it - in this case yourself.
🙏🏻❤️
Hey Chris, just a friendly reminder. With this work you are helping potentially thousands of persona in the long game.
Friendly reminder Chris. I also practice as a manual therapist and have my head absolutely flooded with examples of surgeries that made things worse or were not necessary at all. We are surgeons with an unheard of success rate. Let it be a reminder of attention to detail, and also a reminder that this work gets miraculous results, but there is no miracle behind the amount of effort and dedication it takes to be decent at it.
For me its a reminder of how delicate the body is, this is serious work with serious results.
Godspeed
Wow amazing comment. Ty for your intelligent insight and beautiful awareness of perspective. I appreciate you taking the time to write me in support. ❤🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing. Hopefully he's doing better and this all works out for everyone.
I really hope he’s doing better too
This is a great video. you are phenomenal and you know that too. closing up shop because many say would not be the answer. this is your calling. One of them for sure : ))
How long is the wait to see you now?
Ty for seeing me Adriana. It means a lot. I know I hear you. Lol - I’ll keep showing up to anyone who wants my help.
Doc you will have a few bad apples , Dont lose sleep over this doc, You go to your office every day it makes you very happy to HELPING PEOPLE... Get a good Jewish lawyer let him take care of your problem ...... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. KEEP GOING DOC, Do what you do BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you & ur clinic....
I appreciate you my friend. LOL, that sounds like a really good lawyer!! TY for being there my friend.
Your intentions were to heal and help this person... not hurt them. Sometimes, things happen it's unavoidable. That is why you have insurance in place with the proper coverages.
Do not come down on yourself for this.
Unfortunately, it was the first time, and you hope it's the last time, but in reality, it's probably not.
Stay Safe and Best Wishes !!! 😊
TY so much TOmmy. It won't bring us down!
Brother I watched this with my wife during our morning coffee and I just wanted to say we are both impressed and proud of you.
Thank you mark, means a lot
GOD BLESS YOU FOR SHARING ❤ UNFORTUNATELY THINGS HAPPEN IN HEALING CARE .I PRAY ALL OF YOU CAN FIND PEACE, AND RESOLUTION STAY STRONG SUPERWARRIOR 💪🤺KING👑 MUCH LOVE, PRAYERS BLESSINGS FROM WASH, DC🙏🏻🤺💪🤺✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️👏🏽❤🎉
You mean a lot to me Angela. Ty for sharing your thoughts! ❤❤❤
I did not break, and will not break… They, who ever they are, what ever their situation were or is, did not break and will not break… YOU will not break… keep going no matter what.. you are not closing anything, we are all here for you, and together we will not break.
Best regards
Harpa.
I've been treated for a psoas problem on the right side by a chiropractor and ended up by having TMJ with headaches upper body pain in head neck arms and also left hip issue with constant pain. I haven't been treated correctly or on the right parts of anatomy. I had 0 apology or reimbursement. Doc, you've treated the right place but unfortunately this happened. You shouldn't blame yourself. Of course this is a stressful situation but with the help of God you will get through it. The man who sues you probably has his reasons although I don't fully understand the motifivation. This is just unfortunate it happened and can happen in any practice as long as there was no mistake done in the treated area I don't see any problem. I hope you both can conclude a deal that satisfies both of you. Sending you my support.
Thanks for your support Ed, means a lot 🙏🏻
Being forthcoming is honesty and integrity.
I worked at a personal injury law office.
You absolutely need your own legal representative, your own attorney.
Its essentially an insuranse claim that will settle.
Take a short vacation to decompress, like a staycation, get a massage.
Go feed a cat, and make the kitty purr because that is medicine for your soul.
I'm serious, I mean a real feline, they are the meaning of life, ESA, emotional support animal.
I have been practicing self massage lately, and its a long process to undo years of overuse as a former athlete.
If you have patiens sign a waiver or a mediation clause, you can minimize insuranse claims.
I'm not sure what NJ laws are. You could incoporate in a more business friendly state.
The reason none of your colleagues have been sued yet, is because they dont live in New Jersey and havent encountered a greedy, litigious POS yet.
Fact: New Jersey has been considered one of the most litigious states in the country, and has been included on the Judicial Hellholes® report's Watch List in recent years.
Fact: Anyone who spends five minutes talking with or listening to you knows you’re impeccably honest and would never do anything to compromise a patient’s health.
So I highly suspect that you didn’t hurt that guy and he is nothing more than a predatory victim who wants money he hasn’t earned.
He’s having increased tingling sensations??? Well thats conveniently vague.
You both heard a snap… So what!!!! What do you suppose snapped???
You didn’t do a thrust manipulation and therefore didn’t directly compromise something in his spine.
So congratulations on becoming a famous UA-cam chiro, Chris. This clown watched your UA-cam channel and decided to try and make some money he hasn’t earned by suing you. Thats all this is. Period.
This isn’t about you or anything you did that might’ve been professionally negligent. Its all about him and his corrupted, greedy, personality disordered soul.
So keep up the good work helping as many people as you can.
Im really hoping to make it to the next segment in November. I need to learn this incredibly effective, non-invasive and safe method.
Cheers mate.
You have helped me a lot. Please stay strong as many people out there need your guidance.
Wow, that means a lot. I will keep going!
Keep your head up Doc!! One bad apple 🍎 or incident isn't an indictment on your Practice/Service! We live in a litigious world. Protect yourself and keep living out your purpose!! Peace and love from Chicago!
Thanks for your words!
You're welcome!! Stay on your purpose!!
@jaleelmuhammad2222 thank you!
How do you know you’re actually guilty of this before going to court? People take advantage of anything non mainstream all the time. The fact it took him 9 months to do this says something. He already had issues before seeing you. The fact he kept calling over two weeks means he was trying to gather evidence so it was his intention from the start….all because his back popped likely. Commendable, but admitting guilt with no proof isn’t the best idea. Great seeing you naked though as always! 🙃
You are a great doctor sometimes we have to go thru dark waters to learn something amazing about us.
Dont give up, we leave in a sued society mindset, what ever this individual does is not because of you, but because of his values.
Dont give up, you have HELPED online and in person THOUSANDS. of people, and sadly a few cases without success, how can learn if we dont failed? know your worth, know your value. If you were 5 years old, how would you speak to yourself?
we love you to the moon and beyond
Thank you for kind words! Means a lot 🙏🏻🫶🏻
Appreciate your candor Dr Stephen. You’re very positive and genuine person. I’ve felt significant healing ❤️🩹 and relief since undergoing treatment w’ you! This is Imani…😊
Wow Imani. Your support means a lot. I’m glad that you’ve gotten relief. It helps me keep going.
Respectable
Ty Liam! ❤
I had a frozen shoulder and you are the only ones that fixed it.. in only about 5 sessions. It has never come back (4 years later) despite the same lifestyle and no excercises done on my side. Thank you! Cant wait to come back for other things lifelong. This video is awesome actually..❤
Your comment means a lot Lisa! 🙏🏻❤️
Imagine if all the doctors that contributed to harming me thru medications felt this way (i also take responsibility bc i consented)..
🙏🏻🫶🏻
You are a doctor, but you’re also a human being and human beings make mistakes! It takes a very big man to admit their mistakes! God Bless You!!! Keep on Keeping on!!!
Thank yoh Steven🙏🏻
I tip my hat to you Dr. Chris! You sir ...are a Titan among men. A Gladiator for good!
I can see & hear how emotionally painful this situation is for you. But, I can also see your strength, as you wrestle with how to learn from it and pass these lessons along to others. Nobody lives long enough to make every mistake. We must learn from other's.
The message I get from you is remember why you stepped into the arena. Stay true to your desire to help others. And when (not if) you make a mistake own it, learn from it and try to make it right. That is all anyone can ask. Thank you for this massive lesson in growth and integrity.
Thanks to you for your words Natalie 🙏🏻❤️
You have our support, trust and endless love for your honesty, strength and all the good work you are doing for us all.
Thank you, your words means a lot!
Interesting: (1) LOTS of "I" statements (2) speaking in the third person (3) over 75% of this video is NOT about the patient YOU injured (4) at no point did you use the words, "I'm sorry I..."
Also, (1) why would this patient, who you obviously injured, come back to the person who injured them? You seem puzzeled by this (a clear tell in the eyes and eyebrows), which is quite odd. (2) It's obvious you're trying to get in front of this lawsuit, making yourself out to be this person with "character of integrity" all while collecting positive statements for the public.
It's literally the OLDEST trick in the book, but it's so effective because so many take the bait that it's challenging to prove.
On personal note: I was a viewer who was considering making an appointment to utilize your services. I'm no longer interested: not because you injured someone (mistakes do happen, because no one is perfect), but because this video is so full of self that it shows your inability to actually display what you claim to be about -- integrity.
I noticed this as well and share your view.
I too was interested as a client and as a practitioner.
After this video I no longer possess that interest.
You’re amazing Chris but not perfect because nobody is. Like you said working in this field these things are bound to happen. Don’t give up. It’s OK. I am a patient and you have helped me tremendously with my pain. The world needs more people like you. You are loved ..God bless.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for your words, means a lot! 🙏🏻
Dr. Chris you are indeed a rare breed. While my heart goes out to your affected patient, we should all understand that - we plan, and the universe smiles. You and your treatment of me, impacted me greatly in a very positive way. All I can hope for is that you keep up the good work.
Thank you Pete! 🙏🏻
Hey Chris I don’t know if you will read this but you do really great work you hurting this person on accident I hope isn’t a test of your skills it’s a teaching moment to stay humble and learn from this moment it’s nothing to shy away from you have done so well for yourself just take the time to think back to where you started and where you are now and show yourself grace and gratitude for all your accomplishments hope this reaches you keep your head up ❤
Hi Alexa it's Chris. TY For taking the time to comment. It means a lot. Yes, it's keeping me humble and helping me learn. Much love my friend.
Medical work is not an absolute, any patient knows that.. and that's the risk they take when enlisting professionals to do work on them .I'm sure the lawsuit is not warranted but that's going to happen now when you have social media presence.. Hopefully u have the right insurances to protect you .And to the person suing just remember the universe is a boomerang if u your a bottom feeder looking for a payday frivolously even if u get $ outta its not with clean hands and it will come back on ya evenutally
🙏🏻
Good luck! You are great! You really helped me!
Thanks for your support Carla!
You are an amazing Doc ❤
🙏🏻❤️
❤
❤️❤️
It happens, and you are such a positive force in the world, doing amazing work that is much needed and hard to find.

We care about you Dr chris!
I appreciate and care about you very much!!
Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome Christian.
