Dr. Andrea Trescot discusses prolotherapy. Specifically, she describes how prolotherapy works, what you need to know about it, what are the injectates, and what the literature says about it. She first discusses how medicine has made little to no progress in treating degenerative disc disease. She also discusses the problems of NSAIDs in the natural healing process. Prolotherapy is a way of injecting a natural irritant so that the body will trigger the heal cascade. She says ‘where’ you inject is more important than ‘what’ you inject.
