When I worked in a physical therapy clinic, half the people who had prolotherapy told me it made a huge difference, the other half said it didn't help. Most were getting injected for low back pain some for the shoulder area. The theory is that loose ligaments are a major cause of pain so they inject it to irritate it and cause scarring that will tighten it up. Ligaments, once stretched do not have the ability to contract back like a muscle.
