Yikes.. Had mine done under xray.. £1500..its been 6 weeks felt extremely bruised and soar for couple of weeks... Once that died down...i feel just the same.. Still hoping for some improvement but its getting harder to keep the faith
Fluoride is Poisson, it will cause more problems than you had before
can you tell what exactly do you inject into the joint? if the immune system reacts against the inflammation inside a joint would nt it produce more scar tissue and spurs ? how possible that the organ will produce normal cells ?does a tear ligament can become thicker? a tendon i can understand ... and when a bone comes more thick wouldn't it be a problem ? her shape may not feet the ligament... i am really open to hear more but i need to understand as an osteopath therapy i would love to know more details. thanks a lot
Dextrose, PRT…Short answer…Now watch….Someone will chime in here and go into a long complex explanation..
Hi can you guys help me. I'm only 16 but for about 2 years I've been getting dizziness, migraine headaches, severe memory and thinking problems and extreme brain fog. My head feels very unsteady/unstable and wobbly and I struggle to keep my head up. For instance, at school when I sit up my head sways back/forth or side to side because of this I have to rest my head on my hands. My neck is also in pain and is very stiff especially the muscles at the back of the skull. When my neck is in pain pressure builds up around my head and I also get short of breath and my heart starts beating super fast which makes me even dizzier.
Hi Burner Account, Just replied to you on the other videos. We'd be happy to take a closer look at your case if you and your parents would like to submit your case for clinical review. www.caringmedical.com/neck-patient-candidate-form/
This sounds like Cervical Cranial Instability
I have exact same symptoms with numbness and tingling in my hands and fingers . And burning and weakness in hands.I have a herniated C4 C5 C6 and C7 as well as cervical spinal stenosis and osteophytes(bone spurs). I’m only 43 , I’m an athlete and a Personal Trainer / Nutrition Coach. Sucks to be dizzy all time as well as have TMJ and ear problems. Just found out it’s all related. Going to physical therapy and trying to find an Orthopedic out here in Denver. Hope you find some relief. I’m gonna try this!
I had a replacement lumbar disk slide 8 mm out of place and now (6 months later) my back is killing me worse than ever. I think the (new more senior) surgeon is going to try this on me now. I want to get off my walker and back on my mountain bike.
Not sure how a regeneration of natural tissue can move a badly placed replacement back in place. Maybe once they have fixed the moved disc it can heal around it better?
What substances are injected?
Usually dextrose solution but there are others depending on the situation.
Would be great if this had like other videos the ability to change the language so I could share the info!
Thanks for sharing - we will try our best to take this into account!
Is this treatment available in California USA?
This is something that you would need to research on your own. We do not provide referrals however you can do a google search and see if there is a provider near you who specializes in your area of concern and can see you for an exam and consult :) Wishing you the best of luck on your regenerative medicine journey!
Is it normal to have so much pain after the prolotherapy injections? It's been a week now. Injections were put into my left lower back above SI joint. And yes my pain has been there a very long time. It's just so frustrating that the treatment causes so much pain as well while I've lived in constant chronic pain for so long.
@@rajbirsingh02 Unfortunately not. Prolotherapy is dextrose which is GMO synthetic sugar. It made my pain issues worse. It causes inflammation all right and doesn't go away.
@@rajbirsingh02 My husband had a shoulder issue few years back. It was pretty bad--maybe a strain/tear. Dr wanted to do surgery. We said no Thanks. He did massage therapy once a week, a TENs unit on it all the time, can't remember what else. But it healed. I've had frozen shoulder multiple times both sides. Had ozone injections--it helped not 100% but lowered the pain. Ozone no side effects. Watch out for that dextrose. All the Regenerative Drs like to use it. PRP is better but more costly. I've tried them all.
Can you elaborate on what is being administered ? Are there any megative side effects in doing this ?
Dextrose I believe. I did 17 treatments on my hip. I had degenerative arthritis. Didn't help. I was 24 at the time.
Where can access this service
I just had my first shot to help with ligament tightness due to TMJ/Eagles syndrome
That's awesome! We are praying for your healing!
Please do you based in Johannesburg, South Africa? I want to come for this exercise ASAP
Does this work for bone on bone on the knee? I meet with he surgeon in a few days, but I RATHER TRY this before an invasive procedure. Please, I'm desperate for an answer. Thank you!

Like any treatment, the individual patient's case is evaluated in person and tissues examined under ultrasound and physical exam to determine what the ideal treatment would be. If you would like our team in Fort Myers to see you here for help, you are welcome to reach out to us directly. Wish you all the best in healing!

I have brain fog my shoulders hurt pain side of my head like tension headache vision blurry neck hurts
how long does take to make a the affect , and is there a best time to do them , my injury was 6 month ago doing rehab but slow process stil pain in sitbones
Hi Cristobal Roig, Thanks for your question. Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing the pain after 6 months. Sometimes it does take a while for our bodies to repair after a significant injury. Prolotherapy works along with your body's natural healing mechanisms, usually requiring around 4-6 total treatments and those are given approximately 1 month apart. It is usually used after an injury becomes chronic, after 3 months, but sometimes people do not learn about it for years later. Although, Prolotherapy can be used for appropriate acute injuries as well as chronic. Many people begin to feel some difference after the first treatment and in more severe cases it may take a few before feeling significant improvement. We wish you all the best in your rehab program. If you feel that you'd like our help at our SW Florida center in the future, feel free to reach out for a more detailed case review. Happy New Year!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thanksi keep that I mind
Prolotherapy for scoliosis?
Hi EtErNaL LivEs MaTtEr! - Yes, it can be helpful for the pain from scoliosis. It is not used to eliminate the scoliosis itself. Can be an option to explore and like any medical treatment, would be analyzed on a case to case basis to see if it is a good fit.
I get a shot every three months for my foot. That is broken that has a bone spur and arthritis
Hi there. I have already taken visco3 shots and they weren't really viable at all. Will prolotherapy work for me?
Also does prolotherapy regrow the cartilage ? Thank you.
I have injured my chest 3 years ago (strain from doing a heavy bench press) I have not been treating it properly since, also I have went to chiropractors, physiotherapists and acupuncture places but nothing seems to work.
My symptoms are sharp pain when doing chest, shoulder and back exercises that involve chest movements, blood doesn’t seem to reach to my chest as well as the other side and is much weaker than the other side.
I’m very very desperate and don’t know what to do. Would prolotherapy work? Thank you for your videos I’ve been watching them all.
Hi Fernandez, You sound like the type of case that we would help here, and we'd be happy to see you in person for an exam and ultrasound to see what is happening with the tissue along the sternum, as well as assess all the way around to the thoracic area and give you a treatment plan, and see if Prolotherapy would be the best option as well as any adjunctive therapies and exercises so you can get back to lifting. Feel free to reach out to us directly: www.caringmedical.com/contact-us/ Wish you all the best in health!
I have injury to my chest as well and for years would have inflammation in my ribs and chest. Prolotherapy has healed me!
Will this help heirnated discs
Only prp( platelet rich plasma) can help in those , best regenerative medicine
I will never have this done.
Prolotherapy can be a great alternative to surgery - never say never 😉
I have been diagnosed with a spinalstinosis and I have been in severe pain for eight months..
It hurt so bad but I'm limited to pain meds due to me having a kidney transplant in 2018 so all I can take is tylenol 650 milligrams.
I have had many test and that's what they diagnosed me with
The pain runs down my right leg a burning like fire I cry they now want to give me cortisone shots I'm scared.
Hi Jackie, So sorry to hear about your last eight months! Understandable that medication is not the way to go for you after a kidney transplant. We would be happy to review your case and see if a more natural, regenerative treatment option would be appropriate for your case to keep you from the degenerative effects of cortisone on the joints. We help a lot of patients with spinal stenosis and many other spinal diagnoses. Please reach out to us directly to tell us more about your case and we can discuss it privately. www.caringmedical.com/contact-us/ Wish you all the best in healing!

does it work for hip bone on bone
Hi kjdmph, Good question. We have helped patients who have hip osteoarthritis, but not everyone is a good candidate, just like with any other medical treatment, it is dependent upon multiple factors with a person's health and advancement of the joint destruction. We recently did a video specifically about this which you may find helpful: ua-cam.com/video/EoJkbH848b0/v-deo.html

A few days ago I was riding my bike and I felt a pop in my eye and ever since it feels like there is something at the back of my eye, sometimes it hurts, what do you think?
Go to your dr/ optometrist ASAP!
Isn't it dangerous for patients with diabetes?
Hi jennyal, Good question, it is not dangerous for patients with diabetes just because it uses a dextrose solution. However, the doctor should look at the whole health of a person because if they are too unhealthy, this is not likely the recommended course of treatment. We have had success treating patients with controlled diabetes. But just like any medical treatment, a proper exam and review of the case and discussion with the patient is needed to determine the ideal treatment plan.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Thank you for your answer. I had the experience of prolotherapy about 3 times and it was succesful, but my doctor didn't ask me if i have diabetes.
@@jennyal8857 Glad to hear about your success with the treatment. That's terrific! Wishing you all the best in continued healing. Cheers!
Does Prolotherapy work with Fibromyalgia?? Please answer urgently.
Hi AJolie009 - Yes, Prolotherapy is a treatment that can help joint pain in fibromyalgia.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Do patients with fibromyalgia experience a full recovery with prolotherapy or will it just help with managing the pain?
@@AJolie009 Have you tried the Liebscher-Bracht method?
Does this work
Yes I had a really bad back and foot injury. I was in pain for years. I have been on prolotherapy for about a year. Swelling is almost gone pain level are at 2 some time. I am happy.
@Floyd. B Everyone is different as to how many sessions are needed. Caring Med states usually 3-8.
How long prolotherapy procedure and how long will it treat the pain?
Hi REGGIE - The treatments themselves take only a few minutes, and usually people need somewhere between 3-8 depending on the case. Our goal with regenerative medicine is to optimize long-term effectiveness, so we aim to get people to a point where the tissue is strong enough so they can work and do all of their activities without pain-related restrictions and they just go on with their lives and not need to keep coming back. If there is a new injury years down the road, they can always get another round of treatment to that new injury. But otherwise, Prolotherapy is not meant as an ongoing treatment for most people the same way cortisone or hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin injections are used. Hope that helps. Take care.
Does liagment with scar tissue heal with prolotherapy??
Hi Asit Purohit, Yes, Prolotherapy is the treatment for injured/degenerated ligaments. A lot of people are told they have scar tissue, but either way it is not usually the primary reason for pain, in our experience. We do have injection treatments for scars themselves. But for most joint-related pain, it is because the ligaments never fully healed from an old injury or have been under slow, continuous stress called creep, and therefore, have lost their structural integrity to support the joint.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy how to share my case to you ....I am from india
Is prolotherapy covered by insurance?
No
The treatment itself is not but the office visit and diagnosis might be.
I have neck spasms and a doctor said I had cervical dystonia I was trying to see do you have any advice on how to help it?
Hi Dre, Very sorry to hear about your neck spasms. Our approach to this condition is to look for areas of cervical spine instability from ligament laxity that are then triggering the muscles to spasm, as it is the body's protective mechanism for the vital nerves, etc that run through the neck. We use motion scanning like digital motion x-ray, and others, as well as a thorough physical exam to determine the reason for the spasms/dystonia. The treatment to restore ligament strength and cervical spine stability that we specialize in at our office is called Prolotherapy. Here is a video on it and we have many other videos and webinars that detail our approach to these cases: ua-cam.com/video/hsiJtz0uvv0/v-deo.html
If you would like to possibly be seen in our neck center, please feel free to reach out to our team directly for a detailed case review and we can see if you sound like a good fit for our clinic. We wish you all the best in health and recovery!
I Believe botox injections do the trick for cervical dystonia
Hi is it true people who smoke cant get prolo
Good question- it depends on the Prolotherapist and the case. Smoking does affect how the body is able to repair, so it is not ideal and some Prolotherapists have decided not to treat smokers. However, not all prolotherapists feel that extreme stance is necessary and will treat a patient who smokes.
Why can't the body do that on its own?
Because there is very little blood supply in the impacted areas.
