Prolotherapy Reviews
Working / Worked
Horribly painful but eased symptoms
Working / Worked
It took more time than I thought it would to work but it does work well for me. I happen to be very fortunate to have a doctor who has much experience with this procedure. Only side effects are a little soreness after injection and some slight discomfort during injection. Similar to the feeling of trigger point injections.

I have had the treatments myself and it has eliminated my sacroilac pain, a torn rotator cuff and a bad case of carpenter's elbow. Didn't make the top ten list. Shame.

Knees are most painful to have done, but prolo has kept me from having surgery and I swear by it - absolutely!
