Ultrasound Guided Prolotherapy
Published on November 4, 2011.
Recently we saw an article how MRI images can mislead a physician into a misguided or inappropriate surgical intervention. The reason? Over reliance on what the doctor saw on the MRI scans as opposed to what he should have explored with physical examination and manipulation.
In this same seduction of technology, many Prolotherapy doctors are moving towards the use of ultrasound guided injections. Here again – a doctor is not even looking at the patient or the area being treated, they are looking at a monitor during the injection process. In essence, they are treating the monitor image, not the patient.
Prolotherapy works best when delivered by a skilled physician who is expert in physical examination and clinical judgement. In the same way many top doctors do not rely on MRI images when treating their patients, we do not rely on ultrasound to know where the Prolotherapy or PRP treatments need to be delivered.
