Does Prolotherapy really work?
A careful examination and knowledge of Referral Pain Patterns is key to success. Success rates of 80% to 90% are reported when injections are performed by Doctors trained in diagnosis, patient selection, and appropriate technique. Prolotherapy can be considered for chronic pain conditions, such as chronic low back pain. Nearly 90% of acute back pain complaints resolve within 6 to 8 weeks with standard conservative treatment and do not require additional evaluation or specialized treat¬ment.
