Briefly describe your condition and life prior to Prolotherapy:
"I didn't have a life before Prolotherapy. I had to cut down on my exercise routine due to migraine. My private and work life had suffered because of this. My work performance deteriorated drastically in the last 8 years. I was in such constant pain that I could not remember having a good day."

"After the first treatment I was able to run 8 miles without triggering a migraine the same weekend. I was truly amazed at the initial outcome. I got my family and social life back and I thank you so very much, Dr. Alderman, for doing what you do. I have made such a remarkable 99.9% recovery that I did not think ever possible. After the final treatment, I am now pain free and back to my running life!"

Briefly describe your condition and life prior to Prolotherapy:
"My injury probably happened in 1999 when I was bucked off a horse onto large granite boulders. After healing from cracked ribs that had separated from the sternum, I seemed to be fine until about 2007, when I suddenly had severe pain that mimicked a heart attack that was diagnosed as a pinched nerve in my neck. From that time on, I had to sleep on my back, I slept poorly due to neck pain, I awoke in pain, I worked at a desk in pain. I could not wear a day pack on my back, a necklace, a jacket or shirt with a collar, or anything that lay on my neck. My head was always angled down and my view of the world was at pavement level. It hurt to angle my head up and down. Life seemed more of a challenge than it had in the past. It felt like there was no cushioning in my spine - every step jarred my neck and head. My mood had a constant undercurrent of blue funk."

"After my first Prolotherapy treatment, I was asking myself “what have I done?” My neck was worse and every movement was more painful. However, I trust Dr. Alderman and continued with treatments. I am incredibly grateful that I did. I now realize the first severe reaction indicated how much of a problem I had. Over months of treatment, everything got better and I gradually got out of chronic pain. The nature of the pain changed too, from severe pain in my neck to less pain in my neck and additional pain in my upper back and shoulder blades. We changed the Prolotherapy target from neck to thoracic back and shoulder blades. This helped me with posture and further reduced the pain. I am now working on building up muscles that help me stand tall and support my shoulders, carry my torso in alignment, and view the world at eye level. All those posture muscles feel wonderfully connected so they can now function as designed and my neck and back feel strong and capable. It's a wonderful world. The undercurrent of my mood is now buoyant and joyful. Thank you Dr. Alderman!!!"
Briefly describe your condition and life prior to Prolotherapy:
"Neck was constantly in spasm, couldn’t look over my shoulder when driving. Had to take Vicodin quite often. Pain made me stupid. Couldn’t dance (I’m a dancer) many times pain went all up and down my neck and shoulder. Also, I injured my ankle, which took me out of dancing altogether and hiking."
Please share any success you’ve had with your condition as a result of your Prolotherapy:
"Neck and ankle feel great! I’m dancing again and I'm sure my driving has improved… By the way, I’d tried all sorts of things to improve my neck. This worked!!!"
