Hamstring Tear • Sports Injuries
I’m over 50 and active. Over the years I have had my share of injuries that Dr. Stebbing has helped me through with a variety of treatments. Nothing could have ever prepared me for a tear in my hamstring after a friendly game of kickball. Dr. Stebbing hand-held me through the entire medical process to assess the extent of my injury and presented me with treatment options. Faced with the choice of surgery, or a non-surgical approach, choosing the alternative non-surgical approach was scary. Dr. Stebbing’s guidance, expertise and patience explaining each step of the procedure and what the recovery would look like gave me the confidence that this was the right plan. After two treatments and physical therapy, I am back in action. I know that my recovery would not have been as successful, or fast, if it had not been for Dr. Stebbing’s knowledge and capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept insurances?
Dr Stebbing is contracted with a few insurances. (Regence, BC/BS, Cigna, United Health, First Choice Health). Insurances will assist you with your initial consultation and with treatment with Osteopathic Manipulation. Trigger point release and nerve blocks are covered by insurance as well. Most of the other services that she offers to treat injuries are not covered by health insurances. She is not contracted with Medicare because of the many limitations that it imposes and the risks associated with offering treatment that is considered investigational (ie: platelet rich plasma), which has hundreds of studies that have documented its safely and its efficacy. In fact, most people have better outcomes with platelet-rich plasma than steroids, which have shown to encourage degeneration of a joint. Steroids continue to be a covered service despite these studies in all insurances. The paradigm shift in thinking that you need to understand is that healing or repair of damaged tissue with platelet-rich plasma is different than using a bandaid, like a steroid injection.
How long is an initial appointment?
The first appointment takes 60-90 minutes. During this time, we review the history of your injury. Please bring in consults from other physicians, surgical reports, and radiographic studies (both the report and the images on CD). A physical exam will be performed and if time allows, ultrasound evaluation are done.
What is the cost for the initial visit?
A self pay patient will be charged a flat fee of $350, which can include US imaging. During this visit there is ample time to dialog and have questions answered. The information that you will receive in this time is a worthy investment considering most physicians spend less than half the time to generate the same revenue. Dr Stebbing’s roots in family practice honors the relationship she has with each individual patient. She has noticed that the better she knows you and understands your pain, the better she can assist with treatment.
Are telemedicine visits offered?
Yes, telemedicine visits are offered as the initial appointment for patients who live far away. Telemedicine visits are also offered for follow ups, review of labs, and MRI reports through zoom.
How is treatment determined?
Treatment is determined from the history of the injury/pain that you provide, the physical exam and the radiographic studies. Many times what you describe or the areas that cause pain when touched are more important than the radiographic studies. For instance, there are times when the x-ray or MRI looks bad, but the pain is recent, suggesting that something that is not seen on x-ray or MRI is causing the pain.
What are other things that I can do to prepare for my initial visit?
Besides obtaining previous records and radiographic images, old shoes with a worn wear pattern are helpful to bring to evaluate lower body injuries. Shorts or skirts make it easier to evaluate knees and feet. Sports bras or yoga tops make it easier to evaluate shoulders. If you have a brace that you use, bring that in.
Who is the ideal patient for Dr Stebbing?
Dr Stebbing would like to see patients who are dedicated and invested to reducing their pain and improving their function. Most of these patients already have relationships with naturopathic physicians, physical therapists, and acupuncturist. Her ideal patient values home made food and exercising.
Patients who have pain and loss of function after a car accident(s) usually have more than one cause of pain. Dr Stebbing usually has a long term relationship with these people, as treatment over time allows the body to heal.
Dr Stebbing enjoys treating men with ED and women with incontinence, pain with intercourse, or loss of libido.
Athletes who have recurrent injuries, who are looking for non-surgical options to keep them going.
Ex-athletes who want to play with their grandchildren or participate in exercise for pleasure.
People with have already had surgery, who are looking to avoid other surgical intervention or who continue to have pain after surgery.
EDS (Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) or other hypermobile individuals who are looking for solutions for their pain.
People who are looking for a second opinion value knowledge, which Dr Stebbing can provide.
Who does Dr Stebbing work with?
Dr Stebbing works with many private physical therapists in Camas and Vancouver area. She works with pelvic floor physical therapists as well as those trained to rehab and correct biomechanical issues. She has a few massage therapists, chiropractors, personal trainers, and acupuncturists that she works with. She values the input from many of the naturopathic physicians in the area.
She also working within the allopathic model, consulting with other physicians (orthopedists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, radiologists, family doctors).
Will Dr Stebbing recommend surgery?
If surgery is an option, Dr Stebbing will let you know that you have surgical options. She may expand upon this if there is treatment that she can provide that will improve your surgical outcome. For instance, if you have a tendinopathy or a partial tendon tear of your glute medius or minimus tendon, she would recommend that the tendon be treated prior to surgery as you will need to rely on this tendon to support your hip after surgery during the rehabilitation period.
