WHEN PROLOTHERAPY IS NOT WORKING BLOG

WHY PROLOTHERAPY RESULTS MAY NOT BE SEEN IMMEDIATELY
This article says that Prolotherapy is dependent on the Prolotherapist treating the injured structures and that at Caring Medical we find that most people are cured of their pain with three to six Prolotherapy sessions. If by the sixth Prolotherapy session a person has not had significant improvement, we search for another cause of their pain like infection or allergy. Read this article

Not All Prolotherapists Are Created Equal
Because of the numerous calls we receive, we have a good idea, (the good, the bad, and the ugly) about what is happening with Prolotherapy around the country.

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.
