Q&A: Marc Darrow, M.D., J.D.
from Free Forum with Terrence McNally Hosted by Terrence McNally
Aired 12/02/08 MARC DARROW M.D. is a Board Certified Physiatrist specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles's, School of Medicine. Dr. Darrow emphasizes prolotherapy in his practice and teaches prolotherapy at UCLA. He is the author of several books including The Knee Source Book and Prolotherapy: Living Pain Free. His self-titled radio show can be heard on KRLA 870 AM in Southern California. Prolotherapy (short for "proliferation therapy") is one of many holistic treatments MARK DARROW utilizes in his practice. Proliferation, of course, means "rapid production." Prolotherapy rapidly produces cartilage and collagen, a naturally occurring protein in the body. Collagen is a necessary element for the formation of new connective tissue, the tissues that holds our skeletal infrastructure together. When benign natural substances are injected into precisely targeted areas of the body, known as "trigger points," they activate the body's natural healing process and stimulate the growth of new collagen and cartilage. This can rejuvenate damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle fascia and joint capsules responsible for most chronic pain. Learn more at www.jointrehab.com
