TESTIMONIALS

“I was in a car accident and was treated by two different doctors. I felt like a ping pong ball being bounced back and forth. They both said they would not do anything more after one year of pain in my left shoulder. My primary care doctor sent me to APM to see Dr. Lisa Barr. I was amazed that after my first treatment I could lift my arm with no pain. I continued treatment with APM with Prolo-therapy. I wish I would have seen Dr. Barr sooner. If you want pain to go away, visit APM and you will get the results you have been waiting for. Thanks, Dr. Barr and APM. I can enjoy my life again.”
“Broke my spine in 2004. Since then I continue with PT and have different spinal blocks and have had prolo-therapy twice before. Now in 2012 I was in a lot of pain with my SI joints, so Dr. Barr again recommended prolo. Discouraged, I agreed. Wow, after 3 sessions I am pain-free with little aches due to weather changes. First time in years, I’m pain free and happy.”
“In September 2011 I injured my right shoulder. I knew immediately I tore something. After 6 months of unsuccessful treatment, cortisone shots, physical therapy, I was lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Barr. I have received 3 PRP injections under Dr. Barr’s care. She was gentle and encouraging. Her staff is kind and compassionate. I am almost pain-free working my physical therapy program to continue building my strength and stability back. For the first time in a tear, I am able to sleep on my right side again. Thank you Dr. Barr and your staff.”
“I was having trouble with the arthritis in my lower spine. The pain was in my lower back and down my legs. Celebrex and pain meds were not helping. Dr. barr treated me with PRP. Within 2 days the pain in my legs and back was almost completely gone. The only pain medicine I now use is Tylenol – 4 tablets a day.”
