Tessie B. - 69, Retiree
"My left knee has severe osteoarthritis which limits my activities because of pain. After undergoing 8 sessions of Prolotherapy, I have noticed a big improvement and experience only occasional mild pains. I am now able to enjoy walking all around the Greenbelt areas and Glorietta Mall in Makati. I am happy with Prolotherapy.
Manny Z. - 39, Financial Advisor
"I injured my right knee while preparing for a marathon. I was later diagnosed to have Joint Effusion and a partial ACL Tear by MRI and advised to undergo arthroscopic surgery. I decided to get a second opinion at Clinica Manila instead of undergo surgery. I opted for Prolotherapy (8 sessions). Four months after, repeat MRI showed complete healing of the ACL tear."
Reynaldo U. - 65, Grocery Owner, Sta. Mesa, Manila
Diagnosis: Osteoarthritis, moderately severe, both knees"I have tried nearly everything for my arthritis except surgery which I don't want. I am also afraid of taking pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications because I don't want kidney and liver problems in the future... About 2 months ago, I had a severe attack of osteoarthritis for which I had a steroid injection. A week after the steroid injection, I started having Prolotherapy treatment... On my 4th session now... feeling much better and experiencing less pain in the mornings and after long walks. My doctor says the prolotherapy injections help strengthen tendons and ligaments which help stabilize and slow down further worsening of cartilage of the knees."
Rosie S. - 32, Preschool Teacher
"I was diagnosed to have Plantar fasciitis. Activities in school require me to keep moving around all day and that makes my feet hurt. I had 6 sessions of Prolotherapy and I no longer suffer from heel pain."
Arlene A. - 55, Businesswoman
"I am happy with prolotherapy. Two days after the first session, I already felt some improvement and pain relief in my left knee arthritis. I used to experience pain with just about every movement especially right after getting out of bed in the morning and when going down the stairs. After the second session, I felt pain only occasionally and only when squatting or after a long walk. It too 3 sessions for the pain to totally disappear. It has been 3 months now since the last session and I still feel fine."
Tina C. - 37, Publishing Company Executive
"Abroad, I was advised no less than 3 times to undergo neck surgery for my shoulder and arm pain attributed to slipped disk in my neck. All I needed was 4 sessions of prolotherapy to get ride of the pain I endured for about 2 years. I have been pain-free for 6 months now. Today, I am consulting for ankle pain which I am told can be treated with prolotherapy also."
Oliver S. -41, OFW, Pasig City resident
Diagnosis: Disk Herniation, L5-S1 Muscle Strain, mid- and low back"Maybe because of my work in a grocery store in PNG, involving lifting fruits and vegetables in bulk, my lower back started hurting, especially at night starting about 6 months ago. I also started experiencing pain at the back side of the left thigh and leg starting about 5 months ago... MRI of the lower back showed Disk Herniation and nerve compression at the L5-S1 level... I noted improvement in my condition by the second Prolotherapy session. I am on my 7th session now. The pain at the back side of the thigh and leg is gone, and the pain in my back is nearly gone.
Lenny M. - 50, Accountant, Quezon City resident
Diagnoses: Disk Herniation, L5-S1 Sacroiliitis, Recurrent Low Back Pain"My work as an Accountant involve frequent trips to our mother company in Singapore. It is the long walks along Orchard Road that trigger the most excruciating back pains of all time. Pain medications can only provide temporary relieft and taking pain killers is not exactly something that I enjoy. Good I discovered Prolotherapy and completed 8 sessions which have made my low back brand new. I request for once a month injections to maintain the strength in my new back."
M. K. - 41, Store-owner, San Juan City resident
Diagnosis: ACL Tear, interstitial, Right knee (by MRI)"I was already scheduled for arthroscopic surgery for my right knee when I chanced upon a prolotherapy website and decided to undergo Prolotherapy instead. I underwent 8 Prolotherapy sessions. My knee is fine now, and I am especially happy the latest MRI now shows an intact ACL.
