I am a 54 year exercise enthusiast and former professional athlete!  I used to golf and play basketball every weekend but I had to stop because of knee pain.  I saw one of my friends at the gym and noticed he was walking around without his usual limp (from knee pain).  I told him I was glad it was feeling better and that is when I first heard about Prolotherapy.  He swore that it cured his torn meniscus. 

I made an appointment to see Dr. Monagle and after the first two treatments (in June, 2008) I played basketball by August. I felt so good.  This is amazing, I never thought I would get to have my game back!

I suffered from severe knee pain for over 2 years.  Being an avid cyclist this inhibited my favorite activity and ultimately my overall health.  One year ago I went to an orthopedic doctor and had an MRI when they found the pain was coming from an inflamed patellar tendon.  I was told my only options were surgery or physical therapy.  I decided a less invasive approach was best.  I began physical therapy and while it helped slightly with the acute pain for a few days, the problem was not getting any better.  I wanted a solution. 

Then I heard about prolotherapy from a fellow cyclist.  I made an appointment with Dr. Monagle where he did an evaluation to see if I was a candidate for prolotherapy.  Thankfully, I was.  After my first treatment the acute pain was at least 70% gone!  I continued with 3 more treatments (4 total) to fully rebuild and strengthen the tendon and now I have complete resolution of my problem.  It is very exciting to feel like I used to!  Thank you so much Dr. Monagle!
