He worked for several years at area clinics before opening Care Animal Clinic in Naperville, IL in 1996. He started performing Prolotherapy on animals in the early 1990s with Dr. Ross Hauser.

Paul C. Kramm, MD
Paul C. Kramm, MD completed medical school and his specialty training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Minnesota. Being disillusioned with the standard pain management tools of narcotics, cortisone and destruction of healthy nerves, he was convinced there had to be a better way to treat pain. He then received a subspecialty certification in pain management, and before discovering Prolotherapy, had learned to use botulinum toxin for many pain conditions including headache. While traveling the states on the lecture circuit teaching physicians how to use botulinum, he first heard about Prolotherapy. Initially sounding too good to be true, he soon became a convert to Prolotherapy after reading from a book found in Dr. Mark Wheaton’s lobby. The handwritten accounts of many patients’ amazing responses to Prolotherapy left a lasting impression. Dr. Kramm has a special interest in sports medicine and uses Prolotherapy for his collegiate and professional athlete clientele. He is actively researching the use of Prolotherapy for the so-called functional disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, esophageal spasm and interstitial cystitis.
