What Should Go In The Prolotherapy Injections?

A common question we receive is about what type of ingredients or Prolotherapy treatment should I get? Such as “I have a meniscus tear, which Prolotherapy solution should I get?” “I have patellar tendinosis, should I get PRP?”

While these are good questions, they really aren’t the best questions to be asking. You really should be asking the following questions and in this order.

1. “Is Prolotherapy the best treatment option for my current problem?”
This is the first question that you should be asking. Because you are reading this article, the answer to this question is most likely “yes” – IE you have determined that your condition is something that is helped by Prolotherapy treatments.

Once you know your medical diagnosis, you most likely have agreed with it and have researched the treatment options, coming to the conclusion that Prolotherapy is the best treatment option. This brings us to the next question you should ask…

2. “What Prolotherapy doctor should I see?” This question is typically easy to answer. You have two options: (a.) Go the local Prolotherapy doctor in your area or (b.) Go to the Prolotherapy doctor who you believe has the most experience and success with your particular problem. If you have a relatively small, easy problem such as tennis elbow and it involves a very small area, then any Prolotherapy doctor should be able to help you. If your problem is more complex, then go to plan B and travel to a place like Caring Medical and see me or someone like me who has a lot of Prolotherapy experience. If you have a complicated problem (which is about 90% of the people who email us) then it would be best if you went to a center like ours where the doctor performs Prolotherapy full time. Prolotherapy is what I do. I do it full time and have been doing it since 1993. I have probably seen hundreds of patients like you. The next likely question is…
