No, I have never heard of it. I checked out the site and the first thing I noticed was that there are no links to actual research studies on it, just patient testimonials. This would make me very suspicious. Could you also explain what those injections were that you were so unhappy with? I have never heard of those either. Who is recommending these treatments? Is it a neurologist? Have you tried more conventional treatment?

Default Steff I have to agree w/Dakota...

Even the 'therapies' were vague, referring you to other sites equally vague.
Based on all I saw at their website, that a 'medical practicioner' has a 'non-profit 501-c-3' organization [contribute here please!] and that all funds go to 'research'...well makes me very suspicious. Further that there are no explicit 'pics' on the procedure/processes involved as well. IF I EVER have anything DONE to me...I wanna have a clear idea of what is being DONE to me! Be it spinal tap, nerve studies...what ever!
In this particular case I would also question that the Doc involved is primarily involved with myofascial and muscle issues...Dealing with pure nerve damage and nerve issues is a horse of a truly different color and size!
It seems tho, as if you are RESEARCHING...and digging deeply! That is good. Now it's a matter of sifting thru the well-established researchers and stolid resources and finding the 'nuggets' that meet or could meet your needs.
Keep up the good work - you are gonna stump some of us yet! - j

i did npt have neuropathy until i had the prolotherpay shots-if you google the word you will get more info than you want to know.
i cant seem to take meds for the neuropathy so i was looking for something else. so far the reg docs just want to medicate me until i cant function and then what is the difference?
they say i am damaged for life. so i am looking at other options.
