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. "

It turns out that my Plantar Fascia is torn - the wonders of modern miracles - the ultrasound...

So all of this stretching I was doing for a year to improve my PF has probably continued to make it worse... not to mention the night splits and Strassburg sock that continued to pull on my foot at night, not letting it heal...

I've had 2 Prolotherapy treatments - Sept and Oct... next one is Nov 23rd. It doesn't seem to be getting much better - we'll see.

I can always go for the PRP (Platlette Rich Plasma) treatment, but this is $800 a pop out of pocket. My Dr. tells me that will be a much quicker healing process (2-3 treatments), but that's a lot of dough.

So, I'll stick with the $100 Prolotherapy treatments for a bit longer - Dr. tells me 4-6 treatments, but could be more.

Unfortunately this is all taking too long and I'm going to want to run this winter or I might just go insane! I wish I had started earlier in the summer!
