After more than a decade of worsening knee osteoarthritis and a recommendation for total knee replacement, Margaret found lasting relief through Prolozone therapy with Dr. White.

Margaret H. first came to Prolozone Clinic for Pain in September 2025 after living with bilateral knee osteoarthritis for over twelve years. The condition had progressively worsened to the point where she could barely walk from her car to the grocery store entrance. Two separate orthopedic surgeons had recommended total knee replacement surgery — a prospect that terrified her given her age and medical history.
"I remember sitting in Dr. White's office that first day thinking this was my last hope before agreeing to surgery. He looked at my MRI, examined my knees, and said something no other doctor had ever told me: 'We can treat this without surgery, and I believe we can get you walking comfortably again.' I broke down right there in the exam room."
Dr. White developed a customized treatment plan consisting of Prolozone injections targeting the damaged cartilage and surrounding ligament structures in both knees. The protocol involved five treatment sessions spaced two weeks apart, each taking approximately forty-five minutes.
Margaret noticed improvement after the second session. By the fourth session, she had stopped taking her daily pain medication entirely — something she had been dependent on for over eight years. By the completion of her fifth and final treatment, she reported a pain reduction from an eight out of ten to a zero on most days.
"The day I walked two miles on the beach without stopping — without even thinking about my knees — I called my daughter crying. She thought something was wrong. I told her, 'Nothing is wrong. For the first time in twelve years, absolutely nothing is wrong.'"
Now fourteen months post-treatment, Margaret walks three miles daily, tends her garden without knee pads or braces, and recently completed a walking tour of Charleston, South Carolina — something she had cancelled three years in a row due to pain. She has not required any follow-up treatments and reports zero ongoing knee pain.
Margaret's case represents the kind of outcome Dr. White and his team achieve regularly for patients with advanced osteoarthritis who have been told surgery is their only remaining option. Her story is a testament to the regenerative power of Prolozone therapy when administered by an experienced practitioner.
