I have recently been diagnosed as having hypermobile joints following years of suffering from various supposedly unrelated joint injuries.
4 years ago I was sent away from a shouldor specialists clinic having been told that I had developed a bad habit which was causing a frequently subluxed joint.
Having read earlier messages I was wondering if anyone knows of anywhere in the UK that prolotherapy is given.

Hiya Lizzie,

I too made this enquiry a few months ago when I saw Prof. Grahame. Unfortunately at this time, it is still going through testing before they will allow it to be done over here. I do not know if this has been completed yet, but fear not. Perhaps if you contacted him you might get an indication of when it may be available. All the best with your enquiries.

Hi,

For those of you in the UK, there's training going on in the US for Doctors to learn this treatment. Mickey, you mention it's still going through testing over there. Below is the link to the training course in case the treatment gets approved and one of your doctors becomes interested.

Just trying to help, hopefully this treatment will eventually become more accepted and others benefit from it. I'm not a doctor or know much about this course but I am a patient who has benefited from the treatment.
