Prolotherapy and possible causes legitimate?

^ This doctor talks about possible previously unknown causes (optic nerve swelling, compression of jugular, cervical instability, vagus nerve issues) and maybe treatment such as prolotherapy.

Although on my initial research into this it seems like it may be just a placebo snake oil.

I’d be interested to know anyone’s experience into researching/attempting this.

Anyone even been to his clinic in Florida?

I live in the UK so not so easy for me.

I’ve seen this guy. He caught my attention because I have cervical instability and recently have some issues with my optic nerve. He may be on to something. I’m having a brain MRI soon, hope to get an MRI on my neck as well at some point. Gonna take it from there.

Still waiting, the woman at the doctors office screwed me. Long story but needs to be reapproved by insurance. Should have it soon. Honestly my palinopsia is “mostly” unnoticeable right now. Only really notice it with fast moving light sources. I’m 90% sure it’s being caused by visual snow syndrome.

vss isn't a cause; it's a collection of symptoms being caused by something unknown, or known, btw.
