Can you provide lower back sclerotherapy injections?

phstmlaFeb 3, 2014
I had an unsuccessful decompressive laminectomy on my L 4&5 discs in 1988. Afterwards my osteopath in Spokane Wa. used sclerotherapy injections in my lower back and removed all pain! He told me if I saw him 1st surgery could have been avoided. I needed a booster in 2000 and got one from a doc in Jefferson City, Mo. I badly need another booster. I'm 59, am 5'11 @200lbs. am retired in OKC. OK. The injections never cost to much. Is this technique still available?

Thermo Lo is thermocagulation and not laser. It uses electrical current to thermocoagulate the area treated.I believe that given the picture that you provided, the outcome should be good. Apply Scar Serum for more effective healing.
