Disclaimer: This
list presented is based on the experiences of Ross A. Hauser,
M.D., as a Prolotherapist. It is not complete nor does
this list mean that every single case with the above symptom
or diagnoses will be a Prolotherapy candidate. This list

be made by the person with the symptom and their health
care provider for their particular condition. It is their
decision. No decision should be made solely by a condition
or symptoms’ presence on this list.
Physicians should use and apply the technique of Prolotherapy
only after they have received extensive training and demonstrated
the ability to safely administer the treatment. Dr. Hauser,

make medical decisions with the aid of a personal physician. If
a patient thinks Prolotherapy is appropriate for his/her
