Prolotherapy

[powerman2000]

I can't believe after searching this forum that no hits for prolotherapy were found.

I've had 6 treatments on my knees and would like to hear from anyone else's personal experiences with this treatment method.

Both my wife and I have had prolotherapy treatments and were so very pleased with the results - I had treatments on my ankle, shoulder and back and my wife had treatments on her ankle, back, and fingers

I would reccommend the treatments very highly but be sure the therapist is qualified

I wonder if it would work for shoulder pain due to playing tennis (my 14 year old son)?

I think that DRveejay11 knows quite a bit about it.

Depending upon what his "structural environment" looks like, but 9 times out of 10, YES.

The Orthopaedist in our office utilizes it with great success. It's successes, related to effectiveness+populariuty, are largely understated due to one principal reason: there is little money to made. It's a simple injection of a solution consisiting of water and a form sugar (crudely put) designed to cause a form of localized inflammation and subsequently fascilitate healing.

We use Prolotherapy in combination with ART or traditional deep tissue massage for such conditions with a great track record as opposed to handing the patient a bowl of narcotics and telling them to "hang on" until surgery. What a joke.
