Prolotherapy injections are becoming a more popular choice with those suffering from common injuries. Prolotherapy injections have been used for different conditions such as tennis elbow, achilles tendinopathy, rotator cuff injuries, and arthritis. Before you start any type of treatment, it is always helpful to know what it is and how it can help you. This video will cover three things you need to know about prolotherapy injections, and if it is supported by science. I will go over:
00:25 What prolotherapy stands and what it is
00:33 How prolotherapy injections work
01:30 If the current science supports this treatment

Im 33 and use to be a college athlete. I went to Caring medical, but I didn't fully trust them as he was very off putting in person. So I didn't go forward with the treatment. I have all this. I was diagnosed with upper cervical instability and I have been workout intolerant for 2 years. After covid it got way worse. it's hindered my whole life. Im often off balance, dizziness, air hunger when working out or trying too. Sometimes I have swallowing problems when drinking or eating. Constant Brain fog, occasional nausea, don't handle stress well at all. Tinnitus that hasn't gone away in 7 years. Visual snow hasn't gone away in 7 years. I've had my atlas adjusted many times. Do cold showers everyday (definitely helps). I went to see a prolotherapy doctor and didn't do it cause I didn't feel I trusted him. I definitely have a vagus nerve issue as well and I need this fixed! I've tried many diets and ate clean...It's miserable at times, but im living with it. I really miss running and lifting weights and feel and smell like I use too. It's like my whole nervous system is SHOT! 😩

And you went to a Prolotherapists and didn’t do any treatment despite suffering instability and all those symptoms? Caring medical use live fluoroscopy for upper cervical injections - that is very skillful despite his off putting ways. The longer you leave your instability the more arthritis you develop in the joints and the more difficult it is for Prolotherapy to be successful. I’m a Prolotherapists & Osteopathic Dr. I wish you well !

Don't know if you'll see this but look up on YT Neal Hallinan, The Best Vagus Nerve Exercise. You can skip to around the 14:40 mark for the exercise, but if you want to get a clear idea on how everything connects in the body maybe watch the whole thing. (all his videos are informative, sometimes a bit long but good). I'm trying it. All it costs is price of a balloon. I can't find prolotherapy in my area, Montreal, Canada, so I'm starting with trying to heal the vagus.

I have used prolo with about 60-70% efficacy. My point: what does insurance not cover it? What good is the treatment if we cannot afford it? Please please get a group of doctors to lobby the insurance companies to cover it. thanks much, JB

Check out Dr. Mindy Pelz. She is a fasting and hormone expert. As per. Her research says - a 72 hr fast gets you free stem cells in your body. It's for free. Try and read up more or hear from her.

What's the difference between Cortisone shot vs Glucose shot? Does glucose shot mask the pain? Or does it help the body to heal the pain without masking it? And does it help with inflammation lower back? I have it and it's bad. Will it help? And do u recommend it?

I been doing Prolotherapy for low back pain that causes sciatica. I’ve had 8 sessions over 4 months by a very experienced Dr. and have had no change the condition. I’m actually feel it’s gotten worse since starting the therapy. At this point I’m concerned it’s done some damage.

Hello, sorry to hear about that. Prolotherapy is an option for some musculoskeletal disorders, but does not help with all conditions, including sciatica. You may also want to add in some quality Physiotherapy care that is specific to your needs.

@@27kjh did you have platelet rich plasma with prolo? How many injections per session? Did you do the treatments every month sequentially? What areas were injected? The second and third week after a session is the period when tissue regenerates the most but that is when you were getting injected again!

@EastWestPhysiotherapy Жыл бұрын

It can help with the healing of the irritated and injured tissue around the bone spur, but it will not take away the spur. The bone spur is there to stay unless you surgically remove it.

Those who devote their practice to prolo and prp, treat monthly, do a lot of injections per treatment, treat surrounding tissues and joints as needed, and perform about 8 consecutive treatments but don’t do cortisone (steroid) injections are the ones you’ll want to look into.
