Can I see other health care providers like a chiropractor or physical therapist while I get Prolotherapy?

The answer to that is absolutely. The only thing a person needs to be aware of, if you’re getting Prolotherapy in your lower back, you don’t want to get high velocity manipulation in the lower back. As a mater of fact, let’s say you self manipulate and you do various maneuvers to crack your back or an area where you get Prolotherapy injections. If you continue to do that, you’re just going to inhibit the healing from the Prolotherapy. In other words, we found that if people continue to get chiropractic manipulation, in the area that they are receiving Prolotherapy treatments, it takes way more visits to get them better than if they just stopped it. So I really encourage people, that when you get Prolotherapy do not self manipulate that area. That means that you, yourself, are not cracking your own body, and you do not have a chiropractor or physical therapist doing high velocity manipulation in that area. A person can exercise and still get myofascial release and do all the other treatments a chiropractor or physical therapist does but I don’t recommend they do high velocity manipulation.
