PROLO WHAT???

When I met Vanz he was an avid runner.  Slowly as the years have gone by, he has been plagued with all sorts of injuries to his back, knees and most recently his feet.  He has been to all sorts of doctors and specialists, even acupunturists to try and illeviate his problems.  It has become so painful even to walk for him.  Finally he discovered a procedure known as prolotherapy. Prolotherapy uses a dextrose (sugar water) solution, which is injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. This causes a localized inflammation in these weak areas which then increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself.  In other words, pretty painful.  This is a picture of his swollen foot after his second treatment.  He could have anywhere from 1 to 6 more depending on its effectiveness.
