A PROLOTHERAPY NIGHTMARE Ross Hauser, M.D. A patient had significant lower back injury because she fell off of a horse. She tried numerous treatments without help. She finally heard about Prolotherapy she thought about coming to visit us in Oak Park, Illinois but decided to go to someone closer. She tried a couple of sessions of Prolotherapy with a doctor but it didn’t work. It just happened that ‘his group’ did other things so she was referred for these other things. She ended up with two steroid facet blocks, two radiofrequency facet destructions, two sacroiliac anesthetic blocks and then two sacroiliac joint radiofrequency destructions. She believes all of the above cost at least $35,000. Most was covered by insurance but she is out a few thousand. So let’s sum up her care: 1. She didn’t come to Caring Medical where each lower back Prolotherapy treatment would have cost her $525, of which, many clients with private insurance will typically see at least $300 covered by their insurance policy, although insurance coverage cannot be guaranteed. This does not include those with HMO-type insurance or Medicare. 2. Say in the worst case scenario it took her six visits she would have had an expense of $225/treatment plus travel expense. We’ll put the travel expense high at $500/visit…so she would have had out of pocket expense around $5000. I hear the above story way too many times. We nearly never refer people to these procedures mentioned above because they don’t need it because they the majority of patients get well with Prolotherapy!

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.
