How to Find a Prolotherapist

It can be difficult to find a prolotherapist, as it is difficult to find any professional service provider in many ways. You want to find someone that you can trust completely. The patient and prolotherapist relationship is a sacred one, as the patient will basically be putting their future potential for pain relief and restored movement in the prolotherapist’s hands. The accurate application of prolotherapy injections requires finding the pressure points that are causing pain and discomfort. This requires some intimate touching. As is the case with many types of doctors, some normal personal boundaries will have to be broken, which is an important consideration when trying to find a prolotherapist. Some women, if injured in the private areas of the groin or pelvis, may feel more comfortable with a female prolotherapist.

One thing that all patients should consider when looking for a prolotherapist is their experience and history as a doctor. Ask potential candidates if they are board certified. Working with a board certified provider is more likely to yield positive results. Extra training and preparation goes into the process of being board certified, so with this accreditation comes an expectation of talent and skill. Other factors to consider are where they studied medicine, where they stood in their graduating class, and how many
malpractice suits they have had filed against them.

Testimony from other patients is also an important part in finding a prolotherapist. Ask a potential candidate if there are any patients willing to forego their right to privacy in order to make themselves available for questions. Finding a prolotherapist with a happy following of patients is always a good sign. This is a good way to learn from other people’s experience in deciding whether or not this will be a good working relationship for you.

When interviewing prolotherapists, it’s important to ask what they can do for you. Be sure to prepare an explanation of your medical condition, including any relevant x-rays or MRI scans. Also explain your symptoms in great detail. This will help the prolotherapist decide what the best course of treatment would be for you. Before you find a prolotherapist that will work for you, you will have to
be informed as to what they plan on doing to you.
