What exactly is
prolotherapy for low back pain?
It is a scam. Basically
the surgeon injects a hodge podge of chemicals like salt, sugar and some
vitamins in your back. They claim this results in healing of your back; you
develop more strength and flexibility over time. Each session costs anywhere
from $300-$500 and you have to undergo many sessions for many months (until the
doctor’s home or car is paid – I guess). Please this is complete bogus therapy
and I would recommend you avoid doctors who advocate such BS. There is ZERO
evidence that prolotherapy helps anyone. The only people who benefit are the
doctors.
