What is a prolotherapist?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prolotherapy rocks!: A prolotherapist performs prolotherapy in patients, which is a procedure done to tighten ligaments when they have become loose or torn due to various injuries. Ligaments do not generally heal well and as such, promo is done by injecting glucose water (for example) into the ligaments over and over with the hopes of alerting the immune system to come lay down scar tissue and tighten things back up.
