What is your opinion of prolotherpy to help a neck with arthritis. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not much.: This is controversial, and invollves the injection of glucose to cause crosslinking of collagen fibers. It is an idea whose time is gone. Others may disagree, but there is very little comparative data with this regimen compared with other treatment modalities.
