Hi, I was wondering if anyone here has tried Prolotherapy for their cervical area or any other place. Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose solution and basically inflaming the ligament/tendons, causing more collagen to be laid down and hence stabilizing the ligament or making it tighter.

My concern is if its done close to the neck, the safety aspect.

I believe prolo is the solution (if its safe) to my cervical instability. Based on my reading, I believe I have cervical instability. I fell on my face several years back at speed and injured my neck badly. It was rotated which means that the chances of damaging the ligaments are much higher than normal.
There are ligaments which hold the neck to the spine and ones which hold the neck together. I believe I injured the ones at both levels.

I have my neck sway from one side to the other when i raise it up and down (flexion and extension), indicating segment to segment damaged muscles or ligaments, especially at the top of my neck and down at the bottom.

This damage especially to my left side, I believe, caused a wry neck. The SCM on my left side got super tight & the brain recruited my scalenes and other muscles on the front and back on the right side to ensure it all evened out. This was because it quickly figured out post the accident there was a severe loss of stability. Of course, a Drs attempt to "help me" with 20lb traction probably didn't help my ligamental stability much.

In turn those hypertonic muscles caught up my blood vessels (subclavian vein) and other nice nerves to cause TOS and shoulder instability and pain on both sides, with Right greater than Left.

So at the end of the day, to fix this, I need to fix my cervical instability. Depending on which side is weaker or stronger etc the doctors usually do fusion. I want to avoid surgery.

So the only option that seems to be left in town is prolotherapy.

So has anyone tried it, any stories of good practitioners and success?
