QuestionWhat is your opinion of the efficacy of prolotherapy for ptt?
AnswerHi Stacy,
I personally use prolotherapy for my patients. I have found it to be an excellent treatment. It strengthens the tendon and rebuilds tissue, unlike cortisone which breaks down tissue. I highly recommend prolotherapy for foot problems.
