Brandon Parker  interview Dr. Sandhouse DO on prolotherapy (proliferative injection therapy, regenerative injection therapy, sclerotherapy).  We discuss indications, contraindications, mechanism and evidence.  We compare Prolo to PRP and trigger points.  There is a bonus section on Orthokine, the treatment used by Kobe Bryant and Alex Rodriguez.

    As an MSK radiology and interventional pain physician, I have a little critique on the above images. For the first image comparison above, there is an effect called volume averaging. The comparison is off by a few millimeters so the comparison is not a direct one.
