The Functional Medicine Center

Dr. Steve has been very helpful with treating my back pain. I went to see him after I woke up with intense back pain last year. He listened to my concerns, performed a thorough check up, and came up with a treatment plan. With the treatments, my back started to get better and the pain started going away. Now my back is in better shape than it was before. I’m more flexible and I can do more things and no more back pain. I’m very grateful for his help.

I visited Dr. Steve due to ongoing jaw pain, headaches and an overall wellness check. He recommended a treatment plan that had me feeling better almost immediately. Not only did he treat the physical systems but we made some great nutritional and dietary changes. In a very short period of time he had me feeling like a new person.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Dr. Steve Hyjek.
I came to Dr. Steve about two months ago with a new diagnosis of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome that I’d had for years. I was experiencing numbness and tingling in my face and hands. I was putting on extra weight although I hadn’t changed my lifestyle. My energy was so low that I constantly needed a nap – and a lot of caffeine. I constantly felt like my brain was foggy and it was hard to concentrate. I had chronic neck pain that three other chiropractors and regularly massage therapy had done nothing to alleviate. I had bloating and digestive issues. And I was experiencing high levels of anxiety even though my life was relatively calm. Frankly put, I was a mess.
Dr. Steve was very thorough in the tests he conducted before treating me – and I really appreciated that. Because of his thoroughness he discovered I had a parasite (yikes!) and a condition known as Adrenal Fatigue in addition to my Hashimoto’s and PCOS. He also noticed my head was positioned an inch and a half forward of where it should be causing it to put 30 pounds of pressure on my neck (no wonder I had chronic pain!)
Within 30 days of beginning treatment with Dr. Steve, my head was successfully moved back half an inch, reducing the pressure on my neck noticeably. My brain fog was completely gone, my anxiety greatly reduced, my numbness and tingling almost non-​existent, and my energy levels so improved that my husband actually looked at me and said, «It’s so nice to see you being who I always knew you were inside.» I’d lost some weight too – and felt like an entirely new person in many ways.
Because of the extent of my ailments, I will still be seeing Dr. Steve for a long time to come. But I couldn’t go another day without singing his praises because after such a short amount of time I’m already beginning to feel better than I ever thought I could. If you’re thinking of giving him a call, don’t hesitate. Do it right now.

I have been coming to Dr. Steve for almost a year now. I have an autoimmune disease called Hashimoto. When your immune system attacks the thyroid. In this case making you hypothyroid. When I was diagnosed I refused to go the typical doctor way and read and research on how to control this disease.
I am happy to say I do not take any thyroid pills and it has been through Dr. Steve’s guidance that I have been able to improve my test results and my overall life.
If you have any autoimmune disease, grave, hashimotos, ms, etc. Do yourself a favor and research and read more about how you can improve your condition with a change in your lifestyle. I am still in contact with my regular doctor for testing.
Depending on the time of the day, you might have a quiet moment with the Dr. or a boom box time. The place have a common area with the tables for adjusting and a room for massage.
The location is on the upper floor from a gym. The parking can be difficult if you come when people are coming from the classes, but you can find parking around the corner. This looks like an office area in Irvine
Dr. Steve accepts insurance, so if you insurance covers Chiropractic care, you can certainly take advantage of this. For the FSA accounts, sometimes you have to send receipts, but for the most part, the copayment and supplements can be paid with your FSA card
I searched for a Functional Medicine doctor in the Irvine area, and that is how I found Dr. Steve. He is knowledgeable and when he does not have the answer the search for it. He is also open to learn. I am so grateful as with his guidance and treatment I was able to take my life back.

I was 7 months pregnant when I went to Dr Steve Hyjek for the first time. My sciatic nerve and lower back were causing me such pain and discomfort that it made it difficult to walk. The pain just made me feel miserable.
A couple of our friends recommended Dr Hyjek.
After getting adjusted I felt so happy! I had totally forgotten how it feels to walk pain free… it’s awesome! I was so happy with the results that now my whole family is seeing him regularly.
Our little son was 4 days old when he got his first adjustment. And our girls (7yrs and 3yrs) love going to «Dr Stevie’s» office.
I would highly recommend him, especially anyone with any aches and pains, or just wanting to maintain a good overall health.

Dr. Steve is amazing!!! I was recently referred to him from a friend from home in MN where he had a very well established practice. I have had several adjustments from him now and feel very confident in his abilities. I even have him adjust my little 1 year old girl. I normally go to a chiropractor that does the same adjustments to me every time I see him… Not the case with Dr. Steve! He adjusts me differently every time based on my chief complaint. He also has a large bag of tools to assist him… like a low level tissue laser. so cool! That has worked wonders on my husbands sprained ankle! He is a wealth of knowledge as well! He is always telling me about new research that is out. And on top of all that, he is working with my on my weight loss goals… and not just with another silly diet. He is looking at my HORMONE levels! He treats the cause, not the symptoms. He treats everything from cholesterol to depression. Try him out, you won’t be disappointed!
