Hip and Back Pain
"I'm an actor, and was involved in a movie stunt in 1992 that went wrong. Without going into too much detail, I should be dead. Since then, I've endured moderate to severe back and hip pain. I've tried every therapy and remedy available, with varying degrees of success. Some treatments offered relief, but usually for two to three days, at most. I found upper cervical chiro started to realign my spine and pelvis. Then, I was referred to Dr. David Milanovich. His treatment of Prolotherapy, then transitioning into PRP therapy is nothing short of miraculous. (This is not hyperbole. I'm not being paid to endorse a 'product'.) After three sessions, my pain has reduced significantly. Best of all, I see progress, to the point where I'm taking up trail running again. I can't recommend Dr. Milanovich enough. He's thorough, efficient, highly knowledgeable, and a charming, funny guy, to boot! Do yourself a favor, and get pain-free."

Elbow Injury
My Chiropractor suggested I try Prolotherapy for my stubborn tennis elbow problem. I went through just 2 treatments and noticed a significant improvement - in fact, this is the best my elbow has felt all year. Dr Milanovich is very knowledgeable and did a great job. I highly recommend his service to anyone suffering from chronic joint/muscle pain.

Ankle Injury
After over 10 years of chronic ankle pain from an injury that never healed properly, I finally found relief when I discovered Dr. Milanovich and Prolotherapy. I tried many different remedies before I found Prolotherapy including acupuncture, massage therapy, shock wave therapy, and even surgery. None of these treatments had anywhere near the positive effects that I found with Prolotherapy. I can now walk, ride a bike, run, go up stairs, and carry weight with minimal discomfort. I noticed major improvement after the 3rd Prolotherapy treatment and each one after that. I have had 5 treatments, and since the last one (6 months ago) I have been virtually pain free. If I ever feel pain or discomfort again I know I will just go get another treatment.
I highly recommend trying Prolotherapy if you have soft tissue or cartilage damage. It has helped strengthen my ligaments, reduced the amount of scar tissue and stabilized my ankle reducing the pain immensely. My mental and emotional health has also greatly benefited from my ankle being better, along with the quality of my life. The freedom of just knowing I can be active and mobile again is a blessing in itself.
Dr. David Milanovich has been absolutely great all around. He has taught me a lot about how Prolotherapy works and what has actually happened in my ankle from the injury. I have total confidence in him as a doctor and he is a genuinely good guy who is easy to talk too.

Back Pain
Regarding intense low back pain - "The prolotherapy treatment was nothing short of miraculous. I am not cured but my pain level dropped by about 70% by the next day and continued to get better."

Rotator Cuff injury
"I have had a torn rotator cuff injury for three years which has given me lots of pain, burning and a limited range of motion. My shoulder would hurt to lift, reach, drive and even sleep! Being a very active person, I tried many therapies, to no avail. Prolotherapy DID! Thankfully, after only three treatments, my range of motion improved and the pain and burning sensation has decreased dramatically! I am able to function very well now without any pain pills and I am not going to have the recommended surgery. Dr. David Milanovich is an experienced and knowledgeable naturopathic physician. He is very proficient with the needles used in Prolotherapy. I highly recommend this therapy if you are looking for an alternative to conventional medical care."

Neck Pain
I had chronic neck pain for 3 years; possibly from whiplash due to a car accident. I tried everything. After about a month of treatment with Dr Milanovich the pain was gone. My range of motion is great, and no stiffness!

Knee Injury
"I started a running program, and after about 2 weeks of running on pavement, everyday, I overstretched and injured many of the ligaments in my knees. It was so painful I ended up on crutches. After a few days the pain was so unbearable in both knees that I had to take time off work and was pretty much immobile, as any pressure on my knees was painful. I went to the doctor after 2 weeks and he prescribed pain medication. I was desperate and sceptical, when I came in to see Dr Dave for prolotherapy. Within 2 days I was back to work and within 1 week, I was back practicing yoga. I attribute the success of my knee healing ALL to Dr Dave and the prolotherapy. I am no longer a skeptic and highly recommend it. I’m also back running only one month after my treatment, but now a much smarter runner."

Shoulder Pain
"I had been living with shoulder pain for 7 years. I was in yoga teacher training when I lost movement in my shoulder for two weeks! Ever since then I had to be very careful how I used it. Every time I took a shirt off over my head, or lifted a heavy bag with my left arm I could feel it. Needless to say it interfered with my everyday life. Dr. Milanovich suggested I might be a good candidate for Prolotherapy. I had already seen him for acupuncture and knew he was good with needles so although I was skeptical anything could fix my shoulder I agreed to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. After two treatments I recovered compete use of my shoulder. Dr Milanovich is very thorough in his explanation of what to expect and how we we're approaching the situation. He's also a very gentle calming presence during the whole process. I was only ever told I could get cortisone shots which we all know doesn't solve the issue, it's only a temporary band-aid. I feel very excited that my shoulder has been taken care of for the long run."

Ankle Injury
" I can't thank you enough for helping out my brother - I watched him struggle with chronic pain, which had really held him back at times. I watched him try so many different therapies with no success, until now, since having
Prolo, it is so nice to see. I just wanted to say thanks, I have been able to recommend Prolo to several people."

Shoulder Pain
"I've had shoulder pain for years. After only a couple of treatments of prolotherapy, my shoulder felt the best it's felt in years. Dr. Milanovich's gentle manner made the procedure quite comfortable. If you have been living with any daily pain, I would highly recommend you try prolotherapy."
