Testimonials
As both a practitioner and a teacher of yoga at a major wellness center, I was distressed not only personally, but professionally when I began having debilitating pain in my lower back. The pain was such that I cut back drastically on my personal practice and was not really sure if I would ever regain full mobility and stability, especially in standing poses.
After three treatments, spaced several months apart, I began to experience greater stability in the joint and have since begun to resume some of the activity I had been forced to give up: hiking, yoga, swimming and generally moving around without pain. I currently walk 4-5 miles daily and have once again begun moving more deeply into my yoga practice.
Many thanks to you, Dr. Tom, for your invaluable gift, your expertise, your humor, your dedication and your skill.

I had pain in my neck for about 2-1/2 years. During that time I had 3 cortisone shots, massages, physical therapy, acupuncture and many chiropractic visits. The only procedure that worked for me was Dr Thomashefsky's treatments. The pain in my neck has all but disappeared and I have been able to enjoy my entire days pain free.

I have known Allen Thomashefsky for over twenty years. I first met him when I was suffering from debilitating sciatica. Severe pain from my lower back down my right leg to my foot was preventing me from functioning as I wanted. I couldn't work comfortably, and couldn't even lift my two young children. I had tried everything: cortisone injections, acupuncture, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and massage. Nothing took the pain away, until I tried prolotherapy.
After six prolotherapy treatments my pain was completely resolved. Because of my active lifestyle I have had other injuries, but prolotherapy has always been effective in helping my body heal. I trust Dr. Thomashefsky to assess my injuries, educate me about the treatment options, and then to create an effective treatment plan. I am forever grateful to Allen Thomashefsky for his integrity, compassion and willingness to pursue technologies at the forefront of medical practice.

Because I'm one of those with a long history of back pain, I feared that my chronic back pain would become over the years ever more and more severe. The Prolotherapy procedures were offered to me after my many sessions with other physicians, with chiropractors, even with Chinese medicine practitioners-- and Prolotherapy was the answer! Since the 1990s, my body has been pretty much free of pain, the back spasms are alleviated, and in my current program in which I walk, lift some weights, and practice pilates with a trainer, my sense of security is greater because I know that my back is stronger and Dr. Tom is a partner in my well-being.

After experiencing years of chronic pain in my neck, shoulders, back and knees, I felt that I would never be able to participate in the activities again that I had grown up doing, and enjoying. I am now running, jumping, and lifting again! I owe my whole re-found health to Dr. Thomashefsky. His prolotherapy procedures and practices have helped me to make a dramatic life change, which I will forever be grateful.
Dr. Thomashefsky is one of the most caring, considering, compassionate, and respectful doctors I have ever met. His professionalism and his honesty are beyond reproach. Dr. Tom has taken an active part in my total health and wellbeing and helped me to understand my condition. Together, we made decisions based on his recommendations that have enabled me to lead a more active and productive life.
I highly recommend Dr. Thomashefsy and prolotherapy as an alternative to invasive surgery.

After several months of severe relentless back and bilateral hip/leg pain, your series of lumbar and sciatic injections have brought me significant pain relief. I no longer am affected after driving for 4 hours and recently returned from Thailand, which involved 18 hours of flying. I am happy to say that I did and do not have any back/hip pain. All of the previous treatments including lumbar epidural, chiropractic, acupuncture, or physical therapy/massage did not bring about any sustained relief.
Thanks for the great help!

Several years ago I was having lots of trouble with my lower back. It would hurt so much I had to quit gardening, working the vineyard, hiking and yoga which I had been doing for over 10 years. I went to a physical therapist for over a year. We tried exercises, massages and ultra sound, all to no avail.
I am one of those people who do whatever I can for a healthy body by eating well and exercising. Therefore, to me the prolotherapy treatments are ideal. There are no drugs, the symptoms are not covered up and the very best part is that new tissue actually grows to strengthen the SI joint. Working with Dr. Thomashefsky was always rewarding. He would explain things thoroughly and encouraged updates to him during my recovery.

If you are considering Prolotherapy, I can assure you that there is no one better than Dr. Thomashefsy. He is extremely personable, spends a great deal of time with his patients explaining the recommended course of treatment, how it works and what benefits you can expect. He personally checks in on you to see how you’re progressing. Perhaps most importantly, he seeks to achieve a positive outcome with the least amount of treatments.

Dr. Thomashefsky gave me my first prolotherapy treatment 12 years ago. Years of intense yoga had overstretched the ligaments of my sacroiliac joint, causing pain and instability. After one prolotherapy treatment the pain disappeared as if by magic. I had a "tune up" one year later, followed by several pain free years. However, as time passed the ligaments relaxed again causing increasing discomfort. Chiropractic and osteopathy offered temporary relief. Finally, I decided to have more prolotherapy. Dr. Thomashefsky injected my sacroiliac two months ago, and again its effects were miraculous. The dull pain disappeared and my sacrum is stable again. I am 67 years old and plan to repeat the treatment every few years so that I can continue to exercise, garden and be active and pain free. Thank you Dr. Tom!
