Prolotherapy to the Low Back

I have had over 30 years of back problems and seen every kind of doctor with little lasting help. Since receiving prolo from a D.O. on my neck, upper & low back, my back is much more stable. Where were you 30 years ago? I could have made it to the NFL! Seriously, it's fantastic! Truely life altering.

None of the patients in our videos are sedated in any way. They are awake and talking through the entire treatment. It may be a bit painful, but it's fast. We do have a anesthetic cream we can use to numb the skin a bit. Some patients opt for conscious sedation. But 98% of them do without. The benefits they recieve from their treatments outweigh the pain of the treatment itself. That's why they typically come back if they injure another part of their body. We wish you the best of health!

that looks massively painful

What do you do for people who are terrified of needles? I have sacro problems & live in Kalamazoo, MI.

Is there a risk to damage a nerve or a ligament the way the needle is being inserted?

I have SI Joint dysfunction and my physical therapy has not been successful at all, so I may have to get prolotherapy in the joint.
For those of you who have had it, is it really painful?

Bring on the rain16, mate dont be a sissy, anyway you can ask for a local anaesthetic if your worried.

It is not excruciatingly painful. Most of the needle sticks are nothing more than a pinch. Some of the deeper needle sticks, or those in tender areas, are more uncomfortable.

I had 100 needle sticks to the back (procedure in this video), and 90% were quite tolerable.

The procedure is completed in 10-15 mins. For me, the needle sticks far outweigh chronic low back pain.

I hope you give try it if PT hasn't worked thus far. Prolo is a conservative treatment option.

What was wrong with your neck?

I'm interested in prolotherapy - but that looks freakin painful!!! Why isn't that guy screaming? Has the area been numbed with novocaine?
