CASE From Ross Hauser, M.D.
23 Year-Old-Female Volley Ball Player

History: The patient is a 23 year old volleyball player with a three to four year history of bilateral knee pain. Her primary physician diagnosed her with tendonitis and prescribed anti-inflammatory medication and ice to relieve her pain. She received only minimal relief. She was unable to keep up with her demanding schedule: she needed to be able to play/practice volleyball five to six hours a day.

CMRS Visit: The patient received her first Prolotherapy treatment to both knees. She tolerated the treatment very well. She returned in May for her second treatment and reported no improvement as of yet. She received another treatment to both knees that day. By her third appointment in June the pain in her left knee had improved about 30% and she noticed she was able to climb stairs with less pain. Her next appointment was not until seven months after her initial visit but she reported that "her left knee was great, almost 100% better". She received her last treatment that day to both knees.

36 Year Old Man

The story of this patient started when he was 17 years old when he started playing sports. He is now 36 years old but feeling like an old man. The patient came to Caring Medical when he read "Prolo your Pain Away".

Initially he said that he has lower back pain and hip flexor pain, radiating to his groin. Both of these areas were injured playing sports. He said that pain is worse when playing any type of sport and driving for a long period of time. He has his first Prolotherapy on the first visit. The lower back and the hip flexor were treated.

The patient came back for another treatment after four weeks. He said that his low back pain improved significantly but his hip flexor improved but not as significant as the low back. He received his second treatment and followed up in four weeks. At his third visit, he reports that he is 90% better and he does not need treatment in those areas, but he wants his right elbow and left knee treated, (injured playing basketball). His elbow was treated once and his knee twice. His hip flexor and low back were treated twice. He said that he does not have any pain whatsoever.

25 Year-Old-Female

The patient is a 25 year-old student and track and field athlete. She said that she sprains her ankle often and painful when playing sport and even walking is sometimes painful. She tried anti-inflammatory prescribed by her primary physician. She tried orthotics and ankle taping but did not work. Because all the recommended treatment was not helping her pain, she surfed the Internet and found out about Prolotherapy. She came to Caring Medical.

She said that she has pain on her left ankle. She sprained it multiple times playing sport. After physical examination it was determined that she is excellent candidate for Prolotherapy so she was treated on the first visit. Because the patient is an athlete and time of recovery is crucial, stronger solution was used. She came back for another treatment in two weeks. She said that left ankle still painful. Third visit she said that she was improved 70%. According to the patient she is doing really well. She does not have pain on the left ankle. She had a total of three prolotherapy treatments.
