08 - Prolo Your Back Pain Away
by Ross Hauser, M.D. and Marion Hauser, R.D. introduces the reader to Prolotherapy, a non-surgical pain relief therapy for chronic back pain. Prolotherapy uses natural substances such as plant extracts and minerals that are injected into the ligaments, tendons, and muscles surrounding the spine to stimulate the immune system. The therapy supposedly tricks the body into thinking that an injury has occurred, which stimulates the immune system to rebuild and strengthen already existing damage to the tissues that hold the spine together and cause chronic pain. $24.95. 2000. Beulah Land Press, Oak Park, IL. 1-800-RX-PROLO.
