Dr. Darrow emphasizes Prolotherapy at his Center and also teaches Prolotherapy at UCLA. Prolotherapy is a safe, highly effective yet relatively unknown Therapy used to heal chronic pain and musculoskeletal injuries by stimulating the growth of new collagen and cartilage tissue that rejuvenates the damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle fascia and joint capsules responsible for most chronic pain. With an injection of natural substances into precisely targeted areas of the body, knows as “trigger points,” the doctor activates the body’s natural healing process which stimulates the growth of new collagen and cartilage.
An avid sports enthusiast, Dr. Darrow discovered Prolotherapy after an injury on the golf course caused him to suffer the kind of chronic pain that afflicts millions of Americans.
A skeptic, Dr. Darrow became a believer in the therapeutic healing power of Prolotherapy after only one treatment to his wrist. Since then he has devoted his practice to Prolotherapy, an exponentially growing, natural therapy that is revolutionizing the way we heal pain. Dr. Darrow has treated thousands of patients. Many of these patients were scheduled for surgery and never needed it. And, several patients came to Dr. Darrow after a failed surgery and healed using Prolotherapy.
Dr. Darrow is the author of Prolotherapy: Living Pain Free. In addition, he has his own radio show called “Living Pain Free” on KRLA-AM-870, Sat. 1:00–2:00 p.m. & Sun. 2:00–3:00 p.m. (Rerun) in Southern California. (Nationwide on internet www.jointrehab.com)

I've got to do this here because there's a word here that I'm not trying to hug them, I care, but there's so much to say in every area.
That's the nicest thing about healthy advices. We cover all topics.
Dr. Dero is a scientist now. That's not a person that gives a physic. But that's an individual that is an expert in the muscular skeletal system.
And that can be a treatment from anything from TMJ to fibromyalgia to migraines to lower back pain to a torn meniscus, a torn rotator cuff, a sports injury, you know, whiplash. I mean, I'm sure on any of the ones that I've just mentioned in this room tonight, has anybody had any one of those? Raise your hand today. OK. That's good. That's going to be 90 percent. Dr. Mark Darro was trained at UCLA. He's a medical doctor. He has a clinic located right on Wilshire Boulevard in West Los Angeles called the Sports Medical Clinic in West Los Angeles. He has worked with thousands of patients. He himself became a believer in this work called prolotherapy when he himself had a hyperextension of his risk and a little injection of dextrose. Some water seemed to do the trick. Sounds like it's too good to be true with all of the conditions that I mentioned. Also sitting next to him is Jason Kellerman, a wonderful doctor, a chiropractic and an applied kinesiologist knows the human body, as I can't tell you this terrifically well at the clinic that Dr. Darrell has. There's a whole multidisciplinary staff, not only an orthopedic doctor, but you have these seas, you have physical therapist, you have psychotherapist. You've got every one of them. Because what Dr. Dero believes in is that if you put all these minds together and you look at a patient, you can that patient's going to benefit just by the best, best minds that there are. And you'll know the passion that Dr. Darrow will go ahead and speak about this little known technique called prolotherapy. But, boy, it's really picking up a lot of momentum. You know.
Rebecca, hi.
Hello there. Can you hear me OK? Yeah, if I get too loud. Tell me to shut up before I start.
There's something that's very critical. Politically that's going on, which is Senate bill. Sixteen ninety one. Is anyone familiar with that? It's pending right now for Dr. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign. It has to do with the use of complementary medicine and the allowance of doctors to use complementary medicine, what to call alternative holistic, all the same thing, integrative. It's already been passed by the legislature. It's ready for
