Prolotherapy Dangerous for C1?

< Back to Prolotherapy Article Index  

I am experiencing my C1 slip out on the right side of my neck. I have seen many chiropractors over the past couple of years and I get little benefit from them. I was told Prolotherapy performed on c1/c2 is "EXTREMELY DANGEROUS" as there is a huge risk of hitting an artery? Can Prolotherapy be performed on c1? Would I benefit from this procedure? Thanks for your time.

A. Yes we have done C1 many times and it can be done safely and carefully, generally it is very successful. Typically, you will need between 3 to 6 visits.
