The
Good News Corner
November 2010 Issue
Ross A Hauser, MD
We are excited to bring you the next
issue of the Journal of Prolotherapy.
The focus on this issue is the
patient – those whose lives have
been changed by Prolotherapy!
Like all diagnostic tests, MRI and
musculoskeletal ultrasound have
their place. For the Prolotherapy
practitioner they are surely helping
validate the fact that Prolotherapy
indeed does stimulate the repair of
tissue.
Amy Price, missionary, horrible
trauma including a traumatic brain
injury. Prolotherapy helped her get
back and now she is a PhD helping
other traumatically brained injury.
Jennifer DeLeon became disabled
after a car accident where she
sustained injuries to her low back,
hip, shoulders and neck! Thank God
she found Prolotherapy. Now, both
women blog their stories to help
encourage others to continue to seek
care, including Prolotherapy, in
order to live healthier, pain free
lives.
Anna Hamman’s life was being ruined
by pelvic floor dysfunction, after a
difficult childbirth, until she
found Prolotherapy. She is now on
her second child and back to an
active life, in addition to
referring several close friends
whose lives are also being changed
also by Prolotherapy.
In addition to these patient’s
stories, Dr. Hauser reports on two
cases of 13 year-old athletes with
osteochondritis dissecans. It’s
great to see young people be able to
continue to be active and involved
in athletics without surgery or
medication, as Prolotherapy works
great in young patients. One of the
patients had MRI documentation that
his lesion did repair.
While some patients get better with
just Prolotherapy, some require
other modalities like physical
therapy. Physical Therapist, Richard
DonTigny, of The DonTigny MethodTM,
gives some insight in the mobility
of the sacroiliac joint. Richard has
been an advocate of Prolotherapy
over the years.
David Rabago, M.D., one of the most
prolific scientific writers and
researcher on Prolotherapy gives an
insightful interview. Simon Petrides,
M.D., a prominent sports medicine
physician in England, shares his
experience in treating some of the
prominent soccer athletes in his
country and the state of
Prolotherapy in England.
The last of the Thebes Prolotherapy
data is published in this issue.
Again, Prolotherapy at this
missionary charity clinic was shown
to be effective at relieving pain,
where we report on the foot/toe pain
data.
Dr. Rodney Van Pelt, one of the
doctors who helped at the clinic for
over 10 years, demonstrates his
technique on treating the ankle and
foot. For the doctor who desires to
do Prolotherapy studies in their
private practice, Dr. Gary Clark
addresses this subject in part two
of his three part series.
In addition to the patient’s telling
their story in this issue, there are
the four-legged patients whose story
is told for them by Babette
Gladstein, VMD. Her continued work
through the Humane Society inspires
and proves that Prolotherapy works
time and again to improve, and
sometimes save, the lives of those
animals she treats.
If the naturopathic, osteopathic,
medical, and veterinary doctors who
perform Prolotherapy in all its
forms (dextrose, pumice, sodium
morrhuate, PRP, bone marrow), use it
on appropriate patients based on a
good history and examination, it
very likely that Prolotherapy will
continue to grow in the United
