At a Glance Shockwave therapy has Level 1 evidence (multiple randomized controlled trials) for plantar fasciitis, one of its strongest indications. Success rates for chronic plantar fasciitis range from 65 to 80 percent across published studies. Most protocols involve 3 to 5 sessions spaced one week apart, with improvement continuing for 8 to 12 weeks…

How ketamine treats chronic pain through NMDA antagonism and central sensitization reversal. Evidence for CRPS (50-80% response), fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, infusion protocols, and at-home options.
Nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain explained. Central sensitization, PRP, stem cells, ketamine, LDN, shockwave, HBOT, and neurofeedback evidence reviewed.
At a Glance Prolotherapy: Injects dextrose (sugar water) to trigger a controlled inflammatory response that stimulates the body’s natural repair process. Cost: $200-$600 per session. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): Injects concentrated platelets from your own blood, delivering growth factors directly to damaged tissue. Cost: $500-$2,000 per session. Key difference: Prolotherapy triggers healing indirectly through inflammation. PRP…
