Dr. Darrow’s Prolotherapy Blog

Here is a one of my latest Prolotherapy success stories about Brett Miller, former NFL football star for the San Diego Chargers. Here is what Brett has to say about his Prolotherapy experience:

I first came to see Dr. Darrow on February 25, 2009 with left knee pain that I had for many years.  I live a very active lifestyle and I played football at the collegiate level and in the NFL for many years with the Atlanta Falcons, San Diego Chargers and New York Jets.  I have had multiple surgeries on my left knee including left knee reconstruction, tendon graft with a mini-Andrews procedure. Since the initial reconstruction in 1986, I have had 6 arthroscopic procedures on my left knee, as well as multiple cortisone injections.   My left knee was in constant pain and my activities were limited by the pain.

I was referred to Dr. Darrow by a personal trainer and began Prolotherapy treatment on February 25, 2009. I have had 5 Prolotherapy treatments in my left knee and I began to notice decreased pain after the third injection.

After the 5th Prolotherapy injection I was 100% pain free. Needless to say, however, I was very skeptical about Prolotherapy when I first heard about it.

I played my college football at the Universtiy of Iowa, where I selected to the All Big 10 team, and was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the 5th round of the NFL draft. I spent 10 years in the NFL and have undergone many, many orthopedic surgeries, the majority of them on my knees. I had my first knee reconstruction performed in 1986 on my left knee. I have been around all the top orthopods for a very long time and was of the mind that the only way to correct a problem was with surgery. Two years ago I had my 14th procedure performed. It was a scope on my left knee. It continued to bother me, and the pain never subsided. It severely limited my participation in recreational sports and workouts.

I have had 5 Prolotherapy injections by Dr. Darrow over about a 3-month period and am very pleased, and surprised to say that I am now 100% pain free. Little did I know that Prolotherapy has been around for a long time. I would definitely recommend and suggest that you contact Dr. Darrow and discuss his treatment. If it worked for me, I truly think it would work for everyone.
