I visited Dr. Andrus for extreme pelvic and hip pain associated with lower back problems. I initially received an injection to relieve the pain in my hip. The injection was not effective for me.
Rather than receiving another injection, I elected to visit Dr. Andrus for pain management. She immediately identified the specific area in my lumbar spine causing the pain in my pelvic and hip areas. She recommended physical therapy, which included lumbar traction and various exercises for my ailing areas. What a difference this has made. My pain levels on the pain scale dropped from a constant 10 to a 2-3. What a difference.
If you can love going to a doctor, I’ll have to say I love going to Dr. Andrus and OSC. Dr. Andrus is a dedicated physician and a personality that makes you want to go back to see her. She’s the best! Dr. Andrus listens to you when you discuss your problem(s) and finds a way to make you feel comfortable for whatever your treatment plan might be. Her entire staff and the staffs at OSC (proper) and the Physical Therapy section are absolute professionals, knowledgeable, and so warm and welcoming. I believe this is a reflection of the leadership at OSC.
Whatever my orthopaedic problems have been over the years, I have always had treatment success with OSC. This practice is a wonderful neighborhood/Hampton Roads gem.

I see Dr. Andrus for 2 issues. One is my foot that causes tremendous pain and the other is the sacroiliac problems in my back. I have had injections by Dr. Andrus and each time she is so gentle when giving the shots. I’m usually surprised when she says she is finished. Dr. Andrus also has an excellent staff that works with her. They are professional, helpful, and always cordial during office visits. My favorite part about Dr. Andrus is that she has not given up in helping find treatments for my back. I have seen other Doctors and they told me they didn’t know what else to do. With Dr. Andrus, if one thing doesn’t work, we move on to something else. Our next step is Prolotherapy and we are hoping that this does the trick. She is always so knowledgeable and also kind and compassionate every time I see her for an appointment. Thank you Dr. Andrus and staff for being the BEST!
I must tell anyone/everyone reading this that Dr. Andrus’ listens carefully to your problem(s), and works extremely hard to identify the problem(s).
I have had problems with lower back pain for several years, that really bothers me after a trip, or often just with everyday life. Also, recently I have had pain in my right shoulder and arm, apparently coming from my neck. Dr. Andrus gently…… ever so gently gives me the shots I need, in all right places, every time, and in just a few days, I feel WONDERFUL!!
My treatment has been right on target, I rate Dr. Andrus a 10 !!! She is AWESOME !!!!!
p.s. Also the nurses that help with these procedures are really sweet, yet professional!

Dr. Andrus did a great job with my first S1 (Sacroiliac Level One) epidural. Only a pinch and that’s what I got. Next week, 2 injections in L4 and L5. Actually looking forward to the relief !!!
Patient – Lois M. Newman
Physician – Jenny L. F. Andrus, MD
I am 76, and was born in Washington, D.C., I was married to a retired doctor for 57 years, who practiced in Richmond, VA for 32 years. I have had lower back and leg pain off and on for 30 years.
Once, my husband and I went to Florida with some friends to play golf when it again struck me down. I had to be taken to AMTRAC by ambulance on a stretcher, passed through a window to a lower berth and then home by ambulance, but it would get better after a few days of rest. X-rays and scans didn’t show why I had it, and my neurologist said to stick with the bed rest program when necessary.
Last year, it hit again, but this time it didn’t respond to the usual regimen. I was referred to a “back pain specialist” by my internist, Dr. Mark Souther, and saw Dr. Jenny Andrus, who tried different medications by mouth and then 3 back injections, which didn’t help.
I was then told about a newer approach and was given a trial for a week with a temporary neurostimulator surgery to see if it worked. It did beautifully! The permanent implantation was then done and my life has been changed; now I have control over my pain without pills and am happy as a lark about it!
Sincerely,
Lois M. Newman
