Whiplash and Prolotherapy

Here is a great story about Prolotherapy posted on the getprolo.com website 
Staff Sgt. Stacy Pearsall suffered numerous and severe whiplash injuries during her deployments in Iraq, starting with a roadside bomb in 2004.

Her pain was severe and seemingly untreatable - but Dr. Patrick Lovegrove, an Air Force flight surgeon at the time, offered her hope through prolotherapy treatment -- which involves insertion of a 4-inch needle down to the bone -- that lasted for more than two years. Pearsall was able to get off of the pain killers and finally on the road to physical recovery.
