@philipmccabe69able Thanks for the comment. Yes, this area of the body is often painful to treat. However, our office uses a lidocaine cream on the skin and sometimes an oral medication to help ease the pain of the injections. We do everything we can to make our patients comfortable, knowing no one likes shots. : ) Not sure what methods other docs are using. In these videos, we can only speak for ourselves. All the best to you- glad it worked, even if it was painful.

I had prolo for my back. It was a doctor scam. Placebo. He says it is "very effective" where is the proof? Ask him why insurance companies dont pay for it. lol there is a sucker born every minute.. stimulate repair...lol

@cutwater65 I trust you had it done by an experienced Prolotherapist. The difficult part with medical treatments is that what works for one, might not work for another. That's why we cater our treatments to the individual, using different solutions and methods for their specific case. And often times one treatment is not enough, and minimal injections will not suffice. Actually we do have patients reporting insurance reimbursement lately.

@SaintHakim504 Ligament and tendon injuries are not known to bleed. Can you be more specific? You might want to look into the shoes you are using.

@skinkisd I have an arch but when I walk to much my foot comes in extraordinary pain and it sometimes bleeds can you help me out!!!!!

@iseachaixx In that case we would definately suggests seeing an experienced Prolotherapist like Dr. Hauser who has dealt with TMJ issues. But if there is no pain, you might also start with a dentist who is very familiar with the bite and how the jaw should 'sit' within the joint itself.

@caringmedical Honestly, I can open my mouth really wide and still use my mouth normally like everyday, no trouble eating. It's just that I feel there's an awkward subluxation or something in my right temporomandibular area.
