Anyone have this done, if so what were your thoughts on it. I'm thinking about getting it done on my lower back and achillies tendons.

Just from browsing the web (never heard of prolotherapy before) I think I would run it by a good sports medicine guy or ortho guru.  Wiki has the origins in the 1800's, but says the Mayo Clinic didn't start supporting it until 2005.  Based on what I read, I don't think it would help my back problem, which is mechanical in nature and not due to connective tissue.

Ask a doctor while your BS meter is fully functional.

What wrong with your back and achilles?
