PROLOTHERAPY, IDET, EPIDUROSCOPY, BACK SURGERY Ross Hauser, M.D. No matter how much I write about Prolotherapy, people will ask what are my chances with my particular condition. I tell them that I have been doing Prolotherapy for years and have only had a handful of clients receive other treatments by my recommendation. “Yes doctor but what about me and my herniated disc?” In the years of practice I can only remember a handful of patients who ended up needing surgery, the rest were treated with medications, nerve block injections, epidurals, exercise, and of course Prolotherapy. I have had acute herniated disc patients back to work in two days. Yes sometimes Prolotherapy, nerve blocks, epidurals, and medications work that quickly to resolve the pain. “Doctor what about my degenerated discs?” In the ten years I have been practicing I have had only one or two that ended up getting intradiscal electrotheramal therapy (IDET). The rest with exercise, nutritional supplements, and Prolotherapy resolved their pain complaints (or the majority of them). IDET is a treatment that involves frying the disc wall to contract the collagen of the disc to help decrease the pain of degenerated discs. One person who had the procedure said with hospital charges included the cost was $15,000. Yikes! Prolotherapy for degenerated disc generally runs about 10% of that and is very effective. In regard to other procedures, I have referred nobody for epiduroscopy, the latest back pain treatment craze. This procedure warrants no space here. “Doctor I have pain down my leg are you sure you have seen this before?” Prolotherapists have seen everything. Prolotherapists understand ligament and nerve referral pain patterns. When needed an MRI or EMG/NCV will be ordered but in general treatment can begin without the necessity of these tests. For most painful conditions Prolotherapy is very effective. I recommend getting a second opinion before any body is going to undergo disc frying (IDET), back surgery, or back scoping (epiduroscopy). It is probable that a simple procedure called Prolotherapy is all that will be needed to resolve the pain. I have ten years experience at least to go on.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
