Prolotherapy

Testimonial: Knee Pain

Christine Hardy, Proposal Manager
I have spent over 25 years with bad knees. It didn't start with a fall, but genetics--loose knee caps I am told. It took over 5 years with Xrays and exercises that led to surgery (first orthoscopic that turned into a lateral release) on both knees. Instead of walking out the same day on crutches, I woke up in a hospital room with cantelopes for knees and in there for 3 days with over 6 months of physical therapy to get my strength back. I was then told that this was minor and temporary surgery and I would need greater corrective surgery later on in life. As a competitive swimmer from middle school through college, this was not incouraging at all.

I was OK until 1 1/2 years ago when I feel down and sprained my MCL on my right knee. It took me 1 year to stop wasting my time with orthopedic surgeons who only recommended more surgery to fix my knee. I did NOT want surgery and my friend told me about Dr. Wagner at the Capitol Spine & Pain Clinic. At my first appointment, Dr. Wagner was able to assess my problem immediately and recommended Prolotherapy. I began the first of 6 visits (injections) that same day and have never felt better! No more waking up in the middle of the night because the pain in my knee just from rolling over in my sleep. No more driving for 15 minutes and having trouble getting out of the car because my knee is stiff and in pain. I can do the normal day-to-day things in life (including exercise) without having any pain. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Wagner for his knowledge, quick assessment and overall compasion in doing what is best for YOU.

Thanks Dr. Wagner!
