Why I Do Prolotherapy
Robert Filice, M.D.

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 Ross Hauser, M.D.. 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.

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.
