Prolotherapy has focused on entheses as a key source of chronic low back pain,
even without clear diagnosis of enthesopathy. Treatment has traditionally been
guided by anatomic knowledge and careful palpation.
This article integrates
ultrasonographic diagnosis of fascial injury with examination findings taught in
traditional prolotherapy technique. Thoracolumbar fascial anatomy and
biotensegrity theory are used to explain patient presentation and response to
treatment at these pathologic findings. Detailed case reports provide proof of
concept for the 60-year history of prolotherapy in the treatment of chronic low
back pain.
