Physicians then performed Prolotherapy, a series of injections of adextrose (sugar) solution into the neck. In Prolotherapy dextrose is used asan irritant to stimulate the immune system to rebuild and repair damagedligaments, tendons, and other connective tissue that hold the muscles andbones of the neck in place.
Lead researcher and physician, Ross Hauser, M.D., writes, "The results ofthis study showed that patients had a statistically significant decline intheir level of pain, stiffness and crunching sensation with Prolotherapy.This included clients who were told by their M.D.(s) that there were no othertreatment options or that surgery was their only answer for their chronicpain. More than 83% of patients showed improvements in walking ability,exercise ability, anxiety, depression and overall disability withProlotherapy. Ninety percent of patients who were on medications at the startof Prolotherapy were able to cut their pain medication usage by 50% or more.Additional pain management care was able to be lessened by 50% or more in 75%of cases with Prolotherapy. Ninety-eight percent of patients stated theirpain was better with Prolotherapy. Ninety-seven percent of patients saidProlotherapy changed their life for the better."
Further studies on Prolotherapy are currently being performed by manygroups.
