76 Year Old Wanting to Enjoy Retirement

Due to an injury to the SI joint, I was experiencing severe debilitating pain 24 /7 for six months making sitting, walking, or sleeping difficult.  Cortisone injections did not help the pain or mobility.  After the first set of prolotheraphy injections, my pain was less and mobility improved.  In just three months, I am nearly pain free with more mobility.  It was like getting my life back!  I liked having no drugs with adverse side effects as cortisone is known to have.  I found Dr. Chappell to be very caring and knowledgeable.  From personal experience, I would recommend prolotherapy for any joint injury.

Treating Osteoarthritis for The Golf Game
