Is Prolotherapy appropriate for all ages?Absolutely! In the office, here in Oak Park, we have treated youngsters as young as the age of four, and we commonly treat ten year olds, eight year olds, twelve year olds, and other adolescents who have shoulder subluxation, unstable joints or painful conditions. We have treated people as old as 99 and they have done fine. When it comes to a patient’s weight, it isn’t necessarily an issue. I have treated people that weighed close to five hundred pounds and they’ve had fantastic Prolotherapy results. If Prolotherapy does what I say and what other Prolotherapy doctors say it does: that it regenerates tissue, that the injured tissue can be repaired and that tissue can be stimulated to become stronger and thicker. Then it wouldn’t matter what age a person was or what weight they were, it would be successful. Now it may be that someone who weighs five hundred pounds verses somebody who weighs a hundred and fifty pounds and they both have Prolotherapy to the knee. For the person that weighs five hundred pounds it may take a few extra treatments. Or if somebody’s in there nineties, verses in there twenties, the ninety year-old we may have to use a stronger Prolotherapy solution, or treat them more frequently, or maybe they need more treatments than normal. But overall, they should heal great with Prolotherapy treatment.
