Prolotherapy

Testimonial: Back Pain

Gina Clune, System Analyst
I began to see Dr. Friedlis when my entire back, from my shoulders to my bottom, was exceedingly tight and I was in a great deal of pain. After six visits to a chiropractor had done nothing to help reduce my pain I went to Drl Friedlis. Dr. Friedlis sent me to PT to stabilize my SI joint and to calm my back muscles. When he determined that I was a candidate for Prolotherapy, we decided to wait until after I got pregnant (as my husband and I were planning), deliver, then begin treatment. I had my son in February 1999 and began prolo in the fall of 1999. The prolotherapy was very helpful to stabilize my back and let me return to a busy life as a new mom and part time employee.

I had my daughter in 2002 and continued to visit Dr. Friedlis for occasional prolotherapy. (I also breastfed my children while under the doctor's care.) Since 1998 when I was first diagnosed, I have repeated PT for my lower back only recently , due to overzealous gardening. I think this speaks volumes to the care I have received that has allowed me to lead a typical life and continue to work, parent, and be physically active. Thank you Dr. Friedlis and your staff for all your help.
