…”Dr. Barr is an expert in the field of pain management and rehabilitation. Her primary concern is providing the best possible treatment for the injured worker as well as returning them to productive employment…”

"Dr. Barr initially performed Prolotherapy on my damaged left knee, and after three sessions, I knew that healing was in progress. I rarely notice my knee (which is the ultimate goal.) After the successful knee session, I requested…we proceeded to both my hips and sacroiliac joints….About three weeks after this Prolo event, it was necessary for me to fly to Bejing, China on business. This entails 24 hours duration, in the worst kind of environment for arthritic lower back and hips. The good news is… I made the trip with minimum discomfort and no physical limitations.”

"The…enclosed sheet of digital photos shows me on top of the Great Wall of China on my 67th birthday, having successfully made the incredibly arduous climb up the steps…which include 35-45 degree grades. Five months prior to this, any attempt to do this would have been totally out of the question. This is a testament to the efficacy of the procedure and the skills of you and your staff."

"Dr. Barr showed me how to do the shoulder corner stretch. Tanya Cuffee explained and demonstrated the exercise to me again….I was told about the website and that this exercise was demonstrated there. I used the website to learn the exercise…I was tickled to see Tanya was the same person demonstrating on the website. She does such a nice job of breaking down the exercise. Thank you and your colleagues for taking the time to pursue this endeavor."

"I cannot begin to explain the helplessness and hopelessness I felt while suffering from pain that defied diagnosis by eight leading physicians and surgeons in the Hampton Roads area. I had barley finished recounting the events that led me to her when Dr. Barr said, “I can help you.” She diagnosed the source of my pain and like the layers of an onion…peeled away the various layers of pain that resided in my abdomen, low back, hip and knee. With each treatment, pain was reduced and I began to live more fully.

Dr. Barr uses a combination of skillfully implemented traditional, complementary and alternative medical interventions….Dr. Barr has the good fortune to be supported by a wonderful staff. Mary Byrne, PA-C, is very competent, warm and caring. I encourage you to see Dr. Lisa Barr and get your life back."

"I am writing to thank Advanced Pain Management for choosing me to be a part of the clinical pain study beginning in 2007. I admit I was nervous about being in a clinical study. My back pain was so unbearable I felt I had to explore all options open to me.

It became impossible for me to do my job, enjoy my family, or have any quality of life. The orthopedic surgeons will not operate on me. It seemed that I was doomed to a life of chronic pain, decreasing mobility with a wheelchair on the horizon.

The first [clinical] trial I participated in was miraculous in my eyes. I still had back pain, but…. my quality of life dramatically improved. Whether it was the placebo or one of the other drugs didn’t matter… the pain was under control.

I dreaded the end of the clinical trial…then the staff informed me that I was chosen to take part in the clinical trial, for one year, of the actual study drug. I still have pain; however it is manageable and bearable. I am diabetic and my blood sugars have been easier to control with the pain level so much lower.

The benefits to my health thus far has been amazing, and the staff at Advanced Pain Management is wonderful and I am pleased to be a part of it."

“I cannot thank Dr. Robert Spear and Kathy Bragg, PT, enough for their continued support and persistence in making me believe in myself after overcoming a third back surgery…"

“….after being told the severe damage to my sciatic nerve left me lucky to be walking at all; I am on my way to training camp prior to the 2008 US Olympic Trials. I have come so far with my therapy and I am more than happy to simply be walking, cycling, and of course, rowing again. I am now very optimistic about achieving my 2008 goal.”
