Dr. Franchi is the best and tremendously well-informed. He has helped my mom tons with her hip.

During the early stages of the pandemic, I decided to start running again on a tread mill. Unfortunately, my knees didnt appreciate it and the bone on bone pain was tremendous. I got an xray that confirmed I have arthritis in both knees. I was told it was a matter of time before I would need knee surgery. The pain is real and surgery seemed inevitable as the pain was relentless. It was negatively impacting my work day as well as my sleep. I met with Dr. Franchi, he asked my age and I told him I am in my early 50's. He questioned the duration of the knee replacement surgery and offered his solution. Yesterday was my 5th prolotherapy appointment and all I can say is my quality of living has improved dramatically. Its not miracle work, its a science based method that has improved my life. I highly recommend Dr. Franchi. It has been a game changer for me!

Apprehensive - Don't be! I have had progressively worse knee pain in both knees for several years post knee surgery. Many nights I would wake up several times with a stabbing pain in my knee because I would be sleeping the same position for the past couple of hours. When I last saw my knee doctor about this pain, he recommended a cortisone shot. He said that my knees were filled with arthritis as well as some bone on bone discomfort. The cortisone shot lasted 3 months! What to do now! I wanted more long term relief and needed to do something other than cortisone. I listen to WBZ radio just about every day at lunch time and heard Dan Ray talk about BPT and Dr. Franchi for many years. After doing my own research as to what prolotherapy was and what it could do for me, I was sold! I was also impressed that Dr. Franchi called me to go over his therapy and if he thought I was a candidate. Today, I had my fifth injection in both knees and I am so happy now that I am on the path to less painful nights! Yes, the first 24 hours after the injection its a little uncomfortable but then the relief sets in you can feel the benefits. I might not be jumping up and down or running a marathon but I am able to get back to doing chores around the house and walking again! I am a prolotherpy client for life! Thank you Dr. Franchi!

I am a 63 year old male and I had shoulder pain due to Arthritis and the Prolotherapy has worked beyond my expectations. I have very little pain and can continue my workouts lifting weights and swimming without any pain. I highly recommend Dr Franchi and Boston Prolotherapy.

My 94 year old mother has chronic knee pain. Multiple injections by the orthopedic doctor haven't worked. Is there a good chance that prolotherapy will help and how expensive is it?

Hi Barbara, you may want to call Dr Franchi and do a phone consultation as he would ask the questions and see if this is an option for your mother - he is real good about returning calls if not available. I have paid $175 for each prolotherapy shot. Not covered by Insurance. Hope this helps, best of wishes for your mother!
