It does not matter whether long or short. Your desire, commitment, passion and time to share your knowledge is priceless! 🤗
Greeting Doctor. People are sick and there are barely solutions or treatments that cure those diseases. The so called long video/s gives us detailed information. Please continue to give us the information as you planned to. Your time is valuable and we respect you for taking your time to give us a holistic information and even bringing volunteers who have been cured. More blessings. I just stumbled to your videos by chance and wish to visit your clinic/hospital. Stay blessed. We honor you greatly.
God bless you, Dr. Hauser! Video length, long or short, is always much appreciated, and we love your stories. As stated in past comments, I've had prolotherapy/PRP 7 times over 2 years in my back, neck, SI joint, and recently shoulders from Dr. Alderman at the Hemwall center in California. I had a horrific snowboard accident 2 decades ago, where I flew out of a snowpark doing a jump and landed in the parking lot on my head and backside, knocked unconscious. Being an avid yoga practitioner and lifelong surfer somehow was able to overcome the injuries but had whole body recurring pain, until my back gave out 2 years ago. I'm now 90% healed, have resumed all activities except surfing as I'm still getting PRP treatments. Decades of intense pain, and the crunching audibles during yoga asana in back and neck are now gone. Truly a miracle therapy for which I'm extremely grateful. If you need a testimony or clinical subject I'd be happy and honored to share my story. Thanks for all the videos and information you share with the public 🙏
Wow - that's great! It is amazing to hear that you have had a lot of healing! W appreciate your kind words and pray for your continued healing.
Did Dr. Alderman do the complex upper cervical spine injections ? That office did not seem comfortable to do those at the time I called a year ago.
@@amelielehew5051 Yes, we did do upper cervical spine injections 2 times so far. No more popping and crackling seems stable w no pain.
@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Can it be beneficial for Multiple Sclerosis doctor?
@@RobdeKlerk-qg6lc Rob, I think you replied to my post. I'm not sure if prolotherapy can help MS, but I encourage you to contact Dr. Hauser directly.
Love when they are long because it’s like a podcast, listen when you shower, do dishes ect
Whoever tells you that shorter videos are better videos is flat wrong. I have learned so much from your videos, even from just tangential comments you have made. You be you! Please!
Aw, thank you for the kind words - we appreciate viewers like you! We are so glad that we have been able to help you learn more about regenerative medicine!
I really appreciate how you've opened with the history of prolotherapy. It's people like you who I look up to and hope to work with when I'm through medical school and finally licensed to practice, too!
Wow thats amazing! God has a plan for you and we pray that you can help heal individuals when you are finished with your schooling!
This doctor is doing God's work helping people heal and giving a better quality of life. I am a testimony to this. Looking forward to my 3rd treatment!
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate patients like you!
It looks soooo painful
My pain level is a 6-7 all day and a 5-6 all nite
Cervical radiculopathy
I can’t take anymore pain 😭
Absolutely nothing helps now
Does insurance pay for these treatments, if not how much are they without insurance?
@sherryjones5082 unfortunately not.. our medical insurance companies are worse than traditional western medicine. It costs about 1600 per treatment
Prolotherapy & prolozone have worked wonders for my knee OA for the past 10 years. Thank you for sharing your work in this area.
Thanks for watching!
I love whatever you put out! Grateful always
Dr Hauser, your work is so appreciated.
I have never been excited to go to the doctor for shots. See you soon!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise Dr Hauser, God bless you!😊
I appreciate the time and info you give us. Don't change a thing. You teach me so much. I'm so grateful.
Dr. Hemwal is definitely proud of what you're doing. Thank you!
Thank you for the sweet words!!
Awesome information Doc!!! Thank you!
You have taught me so much, Dr. You're saving lives.
This video was not to long at all . Love the detail and stories
I love ur videos. I learn soo much. I enjoy the long ones :) it helps me know those lil symptoms that I think are odd but irrelevant actually are revelevant. Also ur explanations are awesome combining medical talk with everyday language really really good. Can't thank u enough for ur videos. Hello 👋 from New Zealand :)
Hi Grace - thank you for the kind words! We are so glad that we have been able to give you some answers!
Doc some videos are a bit long but addictive 😁to me either way long or short is ok . Note you in my opinion was /are the perfect protégé of him. I believe he would be proud. You’re a godsent God bless and take care.
Wisconsin patient
I love your videos and learn so much from them. Your stories are the best part!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy What do you charge for this joke of a treatment because it's not FDA approved and there is zero evidence that the body responds to an irritant and begins to heal itself. Every doctor in America would be in on it if it worked because who doesn't want to make money or altruistically help patients in pain. Post your prices here and what insurances you accept.
Please continue as you are special 💕
Not long at all, very informative thxs. U rock sir.. HnS
This is a super helpful video. Thank you! Unrelated, I love that you wear bright colors.
Thanks Spencer, we appreciate viewers like you!
Definitely continue your channel exactly as you do with stories! I get so much out of them especially as examples. If you just focused on purely medical and talked fast it would be sterile and the laymen would not get as much out of your channel.
Thank you for the feedback @amelielehew5051! We appreciate you!
I loved your long videos as they are meaningful and knowledge worthy. Hope you open a prolotherapy center in Malaysia as there ain't any clinic that are as comprehensive treatment available in my country.
They have prolotherapy clinics in Bangkok Thailand, Google search prolotherapy in Thailand
I look this Videos from Austria.Thank you for all valuable Informations,really very valuable.
Thank you!
I'm a retired nurse with left arm nerve pain & paresthesias that have persisted for almost 6 months I'm just starting to research what this prolotherapy is. I would think this treatment modality is quite cost prohibitive for most people & it certainly would be for me. This podcast was very informative. Thank you so much. I pray that this therapy has, & is still greatly helping many people.
Hi Michelle - we are so glad that you found this video helpful! We are praying for your complete healing!
Just came across your videos re prolotherapy for neck issues. I've found your videos excellent. I like videos to the point and have found yours to be just so. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm not in US or I would be seeking you out for treatment but I will use your guides to show my Dr and go from there.
Thanks for sharing, Sharon! We are so grateful that you found our channel - we wish you all the best on your regenerative medicine journey.
Learn a lot from this information
We are glad to help!
I SAW A COMMENT THIS WEEK ON ANOTHER SITE FROM A CANADIAN WHO WENT TO YOUR PLACE IN CHICAGO. I SHALL COME TO SEE YOU HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR WHEN I MOVE TO FLORIDA
He has a place in Chicago?? Where????
I will watch whatever you do.
Amazing....site.
You are awesome. I have a great Physiatrist but I have never been educated on this level. Please tell us more.
Hey Pete - we have a lot of awesome research and articles that are housed on our wesbite! www.caringmedical.com
I have Tourette’s since childhood and now I’m 50 years. I have severe degenerative disk disease and have severe gagging needing hard candies to resolve all the time. Thanks for your informative videos!😊
Thanks for watching!
Greetings from Istanbul. A student of yours right here. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
I think the stories are very informative.
Noted, thanks Mary!
Hi Dr Hauser. I feel a few of the utubes are a little long. Also may be my attention span isn’t always great. ). I learn so much from your videos Also when I’m having a rheumatoid facet flare & I’m healing from a prolo / prp treatment ( not always Easy healing) and I see the patients interviewed I don’t feel so alone. ….So 90% of your videos are purrfect 🐕. Want to also say when you get to heaven I feel our Lord will say Well done my good and faithful servant. Matthew 25: 21. Drs Heckett & Hemwall will be rejoicing with you I’m sure they are grateful for your service.
What’s hard about the healing?
Spasms? Increased pain? Decreased strength?
Hi doc I'm excited and nervous for my first treatment in about a month 💚🙏 make long videos the more we can learn the better and since most of us suffering from cervical instability can't work we got plenty of time to watch them lol. Got a question pls you mentioned pain starting in the neck and then getting low back pain too and I think that has happened to me (I don't have much neck pain, more neurological symptoms) but my arms and low back and hips are affected so much bc of my neck. I never had low back weakness or pain in my life until I messed up my neck. I was told that usually arm issues will go away too once the neck is stabilized and only sometimes the thoracic and shoulders need treated as well... so am hoping that is the same with the low back?
I have your same problems. I second your question. Please a video on how the neck leads to lower back pain in detail.
Can this be an option for fairly severe instability of the c spine in leau of doing a fusion surgery? Nevermind you answered at the end if the video😊 thanks
I wish I was closer to come see you 🙏
Hi Dr. How long does if take to reduce the neurogenic claudication? And can it get rid of it completely?
Twisting muscle pain for a week Sometimes burning pain for a day or 2. Usually ok with Tylenol and heat pad.
If I have burning (thank God not often). I use frozen peas for 20 minutes
What about spina bifia occulta - left hip strength was good but compensated for the r side leg for years now it’s really hurting! Would prolotherpy help Doc ?
Well said. I have just seen a DO who recommended this for lumbar issues (I have a 20 year old fusion L5/S1). I am in Chicago so your Co-office is nearby. I have been on prescription NSAID daily for over a decade and pain meds. I tried getting off the NSAID’s and a few days later I was miserable. My understanding is prolotherapy requires no NSAIDS. Any comments are welcomed. I will watch more of your videos. Thank you for your informing video.
We do not have an office in IL anymore - but glad you are seeing someone for your issue!
Prolotherapy can be painful but not unbearable - most of our patients are able to use just our numbing solution during their treatments! We are praying for your healing Jerry, best wishes!
Is osteonecrosis/AVN of the hip Stage 2 considered joint instability? Also with mild pelvic degeneration, is prolotherapy the most successful option versus core decompression w/stem cell?
I have good-very good prolotherapy candidacy based on my mobility.
Please make a video specifically for prolotherapy for TMJ - temporomandibular joint.
Go in some detail in the explanation if possible.
Thanks :)
We have a lot of resources on our website in regard to TMJ - www.caringmedical.com/?s=TMJ+Syndrome
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Okay, thank you.
How long does this therapy last to give the longterm benefits?? How May patients have had to come back for a tune up shot?
Dear Dr Hauser, is there any way to reverse prolotherapy? I had 10 injections in my neck and almost 2 years later still have the sound of snapping ligaments together with Eustachian Tube popping and clicking and severe tinnitus... I had very mild foraminal stenosis and I believe the prolotherapy has thickened and tightened the ligaments of the neck, skull, chest, jaw, and halfway down my spine... Wish I could find a way to recover the natural laxity I had.
Doctor I wish you were in Hartford Ct
When I ramble I gamble and the shamble shackles?
The long videos are fine if that’s your style. Maybe just include important time stamps for those trying to rush thru things or get certain info only.
But i think your video style is just fine. Do you, and thank you.
Hi Doc, in some future video could consider speak about the book «the ghost in my brain» (clark elliott) from the perspective of prolotherapy. Cheers ; )
Thanks for the suggestion Marco, we will forward it over to Dr. Hauser!
There perfect and inspiring for those of us who are struggling with so many health issues .
Although unable to get to see you in office I know that maybe with gods good grace I may be able to one day .
hello Dr.Hauser..when Prolo therapy is introduced to soft tissue damage(left hip) does the injection to the site area take the scar tissue to come apart then heal it by going back to healthy place
and is the healing painful( due to the area unraveling the scar tissue?
You can make some long and some short💜
Thank you, Doc. Question, have you found in your experience, or think that it is possible for people to be misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia when they should be diagnosed with this disorder?
Furthermore, have you ever treated a patient who is diagnosed with fibromyalgia and helped them with this treatment?
Great question - we have an article on the misdiagnosis (or over diagnosis) of fibromyalgia. www.caringmedical.com/prolotherapy-news/fibromyalgia-2/
Prolotherapy can be a treatment option for these individuals.
Dr houser, what % dextrose do u use? And where do u get your dextrose injectables. I’m a provider and getting into dextrose. Thank u for sharing your knowledge
This is a great question to have but unfortunately not something we share publicly. Wishing you all the best as you start your dextrose journey!
Shorter videos with the substantial information only are better for people suffering from lack of time :)
Hi Dr. hauser, can you recommend Dr.s in Canada for prolotherappy? Thank you!
We cannot provide referrals especially if we have not yet seen the patient ourselves. We can recommend that you start on google and research providers in your area that specialize in your area of concern and see if they can get you in for an exam and consult. Wishing you all the best in your search - God bless!
Make longer videos please
Thanks for the feedback!
Any facilities in NYC you would recommend?
We cannot provide referrals to other providers, especially if we have not yet seen the patient ourselves. We suggest starting with a google search an researching Prolotherapy providers in your area that specialize in your area of concern and can see you for an exam and consult. We wish you all the best on your road to healing!
Hi Dr Hauser, do you use guided injection therapy , with ultra sound etc ?
Great question - we utilize ultrasound in our office :)
Where is this available in Asia? And after one treatment for how long will it stay?
We do not provide any referrals as Dr. Hauser takes on very challenging cases - we can recommend that you start with a google search and see if someone can get you in for an exam and consult. In our office most of our patients need about 3-5 treatments, with a few weeks in between each treatment to allow for the ligaments to regenerate.
I recently had a hockey accident where I fell suddenly skating backwards head snapped forward, chin to chest as my butt slammed on the ice then my upper body continued unfolding backwards causing my head to snap backwards where the back of my head hit the ice. I was able to brace my head from hitting the ice very hard, but I could immediately feel the pain in my neck. 3 days later the most tender point of pain seems to be between c6 and c7. Most of muscles in the neck and shoulder are starting to feel better but the spot between what I believe is c6 and c7, maybe c5 and c6 sis the most painful. When would I know if I should get prolotherapy for my injury? Do standard X-rays in neutral positions typically show ligament damage? Thanks for your insightful videos.
Dave, we are so sorry to hear about this accident. In our office we do an array of testing, including a cone beam, DMX, and ultrasound. We always recommend a DMX as it shows the body while in motion whereas a normal xray is at a stand still. A DMX is the most accurate as it is able to show instability during movement; when we are most likely to experiencing the negative effects.
Dr. Hauser, I hope you remember me, Liviu Giuroiu, from the time I used to live in Chicago area, and you introduced me to Prolotherapy. Meantime, you moved to Florida, and I moved to ... California. I would like to introduce my friend, Terry Duarte, who has knee meniscus problems, and in spite of consulting many physicians, her health did not improve. You may receive a call from her.
Thanks Liviu! We hope to hear from your friend Terry! Wishing you all the best 💛
how would prolotherapy help with calcific shoulder tendinitis and the healing process? also can it help with mild to moderate artritis in the shoulder?
The shoulder is a very common area of treatment in our office. We have a lot of information on our website about treating the shoulder with Prolotherapy, we encourage that you look there! www.caringmedical.com/shoulder-pain-treatments/amp/
Too short. But love them
Thanks for the feedback!
Just right
thanks for watching Kim!
I’ve had failed back fusion at l5-s1 and now have degenerative disc disease creating constant pain. Would prolo help me?
This is a great question Mikey - Dr. Hauser wrote a great article about this that we will share below. However, there was research conducted that suggested "that if you inject a simple sugar (dextrose) into the supportive soft tissue structures of the spine, that is the spinal ligaments, tendon-bone attachments, and fascia, there is a good chance that the patient with pain following failed back surgery syndrome can get relief and a strengthen spine." We would love to get you in for a consult and testing, please contact our office directly at 239-308-4773 or email info@caringmedical.com, we hope to see you in the future soon!

Can isometric exercise tighten and thicken ligaments as well? I’m wondering if that’s why Dr Stu McGill protocol has worked well for so many. Pairing his exercise protocols with prolotherapy could be a game changer for all these back pain issues everyone has.
I have 2 herniated disk in my neck been diagnose with DDD I feel pulverized Is there any consultation that you offer about prolo therapy?I'm in canada toronto
Hi - we have many patients from CA, we would love to see you too! Please reach out to us directly and someone from our clinical team can learn more about your case :)
I have a question, between PRP or Prolotherapy what works better to heal the cartilage and fix the problem?
That's a great question and one we receive often. It ultimately depends on the severity of the instability and what the patient needs. Prolotherapy is the term used for the injecting of proliferating solutions. Some of our patients only need our dextrose solution where others might need PRP or stem cells. Again the type of treatment needed is something that would be discussed after Dr. Hauser reviews your case and sees you for an exam.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy does Dr Hauser treat joints pain like shoulder pain?
@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Dr. Hauser, can you please make a video explaining the comprehensive technique of injections that someone that has cervical instability will benefit from? I have found that other providers are just injecting the facet joints and there is no other focus on the other major key ligaments. Thanks!
I tried to contact with your cllinic and I never received an answer. I have TMJ and it's related to my neck inestability. please post a link to your webside page
Hi Carmen - our team is working very hard, we get a lot of emails/calls, we are sorry that we missed you! Please reach out to us directly via 239-308-4773 or email info@caringmedical.com - we will get back to you as soon as possible!
Are patient given general anesthesia non intubation while these therapies are being performed and how long now the procedure?? Is it out patient’s and since insurance probably won’t cover this what’s the out of pocket expenses? Thanks for all that you do. 😎
All great questions! A majority of our patients do not need sedation however it is available, this is something that would be discussed at your consult. Before administering the treatment, Dr. Hauser or Danielle would numb the area. Everything is done in our medical office in Fort Myers, FL. You are correct, we do not take insurance however after your visit you are given an itemized receipt that can be submitted to your insurance.
We have a lot of great resources on our website www.caringmedical.com along with what to except at your first visit 😊 hope this helps!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy is there a Chicago area office?? Thanks for being informative.
If you are bone on bone in your knee, will or can this procedure help? Also, what if you have had a lumbar fusion?
Great question Susie and we wish there was a clear, cut answer to this! But, it ultimately depends and there is no way to determine without doing diagnostic testing. Sometimes what an ortho surgeon would consider "bone on bone" to do surgery is not completely "bone on bone." Hope this makes sense!
Can you recommend anyone in the Boston Ma area.
We cannot provide referrals especially if we have not yet seen the patient ourselves. We can recommend that you start on google and research providers in your area that specialize in your area of concern and see if they can get you in for an exam and consult. Wishing you all the best in your search - wishing you all the best in your alternative medicine search! If you find that you can travel to FL we would love to get you in for a consult!
Where is the closest place to Orlando, Florida?
We are located in fort Myers Florida about 3 hours from Orlando!
Can prolotherapy be used for spondylolisthesis? Have a friend that her surgeon wants to fuse her low back and she knows it will lead to more problems with her back.
Anita - we are sorry to hear about your friend, but we see lumbar spondylolisthesis occurring as the result of spinal instability brought on by stretched and damaged spinal ligaments, which can often result in a recommendation for a fusion. We have treated individuals with Prolotherapy and it could be an option for your friend however we would need to see her in our office for diagnostics before determining a plan of treatment - we would love to learn more about your friend's case! In the meantime, we do have an article on this topic if you'd like to look further. caringmedical.com/prolotherapy-news/treatment-options-degenerative-spondylolisthesis/
I prefer shorter videos! But I feel your videos are quite compact and just explaining what we should know. We are in pain, we are confused, brainfogged and we just want to understand and get to the solution. Or me at least XD
Ive tried this and unfortunately it didn't work. I tried this about 15 years ago at the VA hospital.
Do they give you some kind of freezing
Prolotherapy is painful but not unbearable, most patients do just fine with our numbing solution however nitrous is available for those who need it!
Doctor I am suffering from an undiagnosed neck instability it does cause any pain but I have a pressure built in neck always it increases when i streach or do running,I can feel fever in that blood vessels and it dilates more when excercise I need some suggestions from u sir please...
Houser sir i will pay for ur charge in any online meeting just listen do my situation any suggestions tell me sir please sir help me soo some mercy for online meeting I will pay

Dr. Hauser, i live in Palm Beach Gardens FL. Who does Prolotherapy here?
Palm Beach is not far from Fort Myers - we'd love to see you in our office!
Tsa instead of tse
This looks painful, is patient asleep while this treatment is given?
It can be painful but is not unbearable! Most of our patients do well with our numbing however sedation is available if needed.
Time is fine 15 mins no issues here. But 10 secs with that needle is plenty where the devil do you get those.
Is prolotherapy covered by Medicare?
Unfortunately, invoices can NOT be submitted to government-based insurance plans such as Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or HMO plans.

It’s not the outside that needs fixed!!!!
these videos are to short
...too...
@@areguapiri I say that because this condition sucks so much that i must know as much as possible.
I’d rather exercise than doing this 4-6 times 😂
We hear you! Prolotherapy can be painful but it is not unbearable and unfortunately, for some, exercise alone is not enough. If there is degeneration, there needs to be regeneration for healing.
Nobody like Dr Hauser
