Why I Do
Prolotherapy
I entered
the practice of Natural Medicine in 1980, and managed to go the
next 16 years treating patients with various pain syndromes
primarily with nutritional therapies. I had some success,
especially with acute herniated lumbar disks, but for the most
part chronic pain was difficult to treat. I met Dr Hauser in
1996 and he told me about Prolotherapy at that time. I can
remember thinking it sounded interesting, but I had little
concept of how powerful a tool it was for the treatment of
chronic musculoskeletal pain. I say this in defense of other
practitioners and the lay public who also have trouble grasping
the amazing efficacy of Prolotherapy. When did my eyes get
opened to his fact? It wasn’t until I joined the staff at Caring
Medical and received training in Prolo, and started seeing my
own patients coming back with consistent reductions in their
pain levels that I started to understand.
Conditions
that had resisted every practitioner’s efforts (chiropractors,
MD’s, DO’s, massage therapists, kinesiologists) over many years
showed a rapid and good response to Prolo. The reason is that
Prolo gets to the cause of the problem, which is usually weak
tendons and/or
ligaments. Although I am flexible and open-minded
by nature and am often willing to attempt new therapies, I will
never continue use any treatment that I do not believe in, and
that fails to produce good results. Every doctor wants to help
his patients feel better. Prolotherapy is a wonderful tool that
helps me accomplish that in this practice. In a nutshell, I do Prolotherapy because it works. I do it because it addresses the cause of chronic pain at its source, and it does so in the most natural, most cost effective, and least invasive way possible. I do it because it’s far preferable to surgery. I do it because it lets me help a much greater proportion of the patients and problems I see in the office every day. And I do it because I really like seeing the smiles, and responding to the gratitude of my patients getting well.
