324: A Sore Elbow Brings a 180-Degree Turn

Dr. Chad Edwards returned to the Army as an active duty physician, equipped with a solid medical education. A commander came in complaining of elbow pain and requesting prolotherapy—a procedure he'd never heard of—he began digging into the literature. What he found totally changed his medical practice from that day forward. Today, as an osteopathic physician in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he practices functional medicine using holistic approaches. He optimizes health using nutrition, exercise, rest, herbals, medications, acupuncture, chiropractic, and any other means available as deemed appropriate.
