CONCLUSIONS: Side effects related to prolotherapy for back and neck pain, such as temporary postinjection pain, stiffness, and bruising, are common and benign. Adverse events related to prolotherapy for back and neck pain are similar in nature to other widely used spinal injection procedures.
Prolotherapy is a treatment that has been around for a long time, but still lacks definitive clinical evidence for efficacy. The plausibility of an effect is dubious, but not impossible. It does not appear to work for back pain.
