What specific conditions is Prolotherapy good for?
It is specific for back sprains and subluxations, for facet arthropathies, and for sacroiliac joint subluxations. The cervical spine responds better than the lumbar spine. This is probably a result of lumbar disc fissures that underlie chronic low back pain that are diagnosed due to poor response to prolotherapy or by Discogram. Prolotherapy is best for chronic back pain, non-discogenic, which is the 10% that does not resolve. Prolotherapy can be very useful in strains and sprains to the shoulders and limps. Prolotherapy should be performed only by physicians with expertise in this method.
