Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 I went to an osteopath who wanted to do prolotherapy on me. Everything I read about it was positive, but I just couldn't do it. Apparently, they inject a sugar water into your joints, which is suppose to cause inflamation, which in turn will promote healing. She told me it was painful. I just couldn't do it. But, I've read it really helps some people. Good luck, if you decide to do it. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi, Has anyone ever had prolotherapy? I have classical EDS with a lot of arthritis in my lumber spine as well as spinal stenosis, facet arthritis, scoleosis, herniated discs and compression fractures, etc. In other words your typical EDS spine. I'm on a lot of pain meds that do help as long as I stay on time schedule. I friend suggested I try prolotherapy. My friend talked to a physician from Federal Way, Washington who said he has used this technique with other patients that have EDS with success. His name is Dr.Dorman and his web site is paracelsusclinic.com. After reading about the procedure I would think this technique would be questionable for folks with the classic form of EDS since healing and scar tissue formation is fragile. That's just my quess. I would welcome any opinions and first hand experiences is anyone has tried this. Thanks! Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Hi Ellen, I live in Federal Way and drive past the prolotherapy clinic every day. Dr. Dorman has treated one patient with EDS that I know personally. Unfortunately, she moved recently and I don't have her new address and she doesn't have email these days or I would put you in touch with her. At first, she thought it was wonderful, but it was extremely painful and took several weeks to recover from each injection. Now she believes the treatments caused her to become diabetic. I hadn't seen any research connecting prolotherapy and diabetes, so I don't know if this is factual or just her belief. I personally am not in favor of prolotherapy and I have read both positive and negative stories about its use for hypermobility. -Barb Prolotherapy > Hi, > Has anyone ever had prolotherapy?
