Information
Prolotherapy Training Videos for sale
These videos include footage from the first Canadian prolotherapy workshop held in 2017. The teachers include Dr. Adrian Gretton from Calgary, and Dr. Erik Ouellette from Ottawa, both extremely knowledgeable prolotherapists who teach in Canada and internationally. If you are interested in learning prolotherapy well, these videos are highly recommended. Many people claim to use prolotherapy but not everyone has the same solid, safe and well-rounded background. This is a good way to make sure you are practising correctly, for a very reasonable fee. (Also note you can purchase mp4s from the 2019 annual conference!)

Temporomandibular Dysfunction Treated With Prolotherapy
Dr. Francois Louw, a physician from the Department of Family Practice at the university of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, advances the body of knowledge in the treatment of temporomandibular dysfunction in his article appearing in the May 2019 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, where he found that using a simple and inexpensive alternative treatment with an intraarticular injection of dextrose reduced pain and increased mobility in this hard-to-treat patient population.
