Emphasis on Research in Use of Prolotherapy (Also called  Regenerative Injection Therapy)

Short summaries of various topics are available  at  http://getprolo.com . These are very useful for introduction to general concepts. They are not usually research based although some consecutive patient research is referenced.  (Several examples below from Dr. Hauser. )   

Another source is a collection of articles that are periodically published in the journal Practical Pain Management., and in Sports Medicine sources that are directed more to the layman. The following will all be reasonably easy reading and good places to start in reading about prolotherapy.
