A History of the American College of Osteopathic Sclerotherapeutic
Pain Management, the Oldest Prolotherapy Organization
Donna Alderman, DO
Modern Prolotherapy evolved from the insights and courage of a few doctors in
the early part of the 1900s. These pioneers would then form groups to teach others,
share knowledge, and improve techniques. The earliest record of such a group
started as the American Society of Herniologists in 1926, now known as the American
College of Osteopathic Sclerotherapeutic Pain Management. This fascinating article
reviews the history of these courageous men and how their hard work and efforts
developed into an organization that not only promotes and teaches state-of-the-art
Prolotherapy, but is on the cutting edge of musculoskeletal medicine.
