Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Testimonials: SI Joint Pain

Pete Mullen, Project Manager
I was under treatment by Dr. Friedlis for SI joint dysfunction. I am an active person and have enjoyed working out at least 3 to 4 days a week for years. Since I could not do any lower body work I increased my upper body workouts and ended up with a SLAP tear to the cartilage of my left shoulder. I immediately consulted with Dr. Friedlis and we developed a game plan to use two rounds of very strong prolotherapy followed by a round of PRP. I am happy to report that the regimen worked wonders. Prior to treatment I was in constant pain and could not raise my arm over my head or even put on a suit jacket unassisted. Recently I was able to do sets of overhand pullups and complete 500 yards of freestyle swimming.

I would highly recommend that anyone with a soft tissue injury consult with Dr. Friedlis and his assistant Maggie Blouse before pursuing surgical treatment. I could not be happier with my outcome and can not say enough good things about Capitol Spine and the staffers in the Fairfax office. Keven and Jennifer have been extremely helpful and are always pleasant to deal with in person and on the phone.
