Hi there Mindy,

I have worked in a Physical Therapy clinic with Greg Johnson, PT and Donna
Bajelis, PT (check out Institute for Structural Medicine in Washington
state) years ago and had heard of and seen many people well treated with
prolotherapy. I think it is also known as sclerotherapy. My impression is
that it tends to work well for looseness of connective tissue, ligaments,
etc. Often I have heard it works when nothing else seems to.

I have a friend in Tulsa OK who had the whole SI series with me and lots of
yoga and still could not work out the pain in the low back and SI area. I
suggested prolotherapy. He went to an osteopath in Tulsa who worked very
conservatively at first and then very specifically applied prolotheapy with
amazing results.

For me I would probably go to him. For other prolotherapists I would want to
know what other things they do, what their perspective is. I generally trust
an osteopathic approach more than MD(a bias I suppose).

Best of luck with it.

Love, Power, and Partnership,
Stuart

Subject: [Structural_Integration] prolotherapy



Is there anyone out there who understands what 'Prolotherapy'
is as regards the Structural Integration proccess?

All I know is what Google tells me.

Has anyone worked on someone who has had it done.

What sort of benefits does it really have?

Any information would be appreciated.


Mindy
