Default Prolotherapy with platelet-rich plasma - new stuff

For those who have ligament and tendon issues which could possibly respond to prolotherapy, you might want to look up articles on new uses for platelet rich plasma. This stuff is basically a concentrate of your own blood platelets that can be injected into areas which require healing or disinfection. It has been used for years in dental surgery and most recently as an aide to knee meniscal transplantation. In prolotherapy it is used in lieu of the standard proliferant solution. Worth checking out in the literature.
