Dr. Ross Hauser is one of the medical world’s pioneers when it comes to revolutionary treatment for curing chronic pain and soft tissue injuries. He is most well known for his expertise in prolotherapy, having been trained by Dr. Gustav Hemwall, the grandfather of prolotherapy. He is the medical director and co-founder of the Natural Medicine Clinic, Caring Medical and Rehabilitation Services in Oak Park, Illinois, which can also be found at http://www.caringmedical.com.

He has also written multiple books, including the national best seller “Prolo Your Pain Away! Curing Chronic Pain with Prolotherapy” and more recently “Prolotherapy: An Alternative to Knee Surgery”, I managed to land an interview with Dr. Hauser, and ask him about soft tissue injuries, prolotherapy and platelet rich plasma therapy or prp. It’s an in-depth three part interview, and this is part one. Here’s what Dr. Hauser had to say:

Maimonides once wrote that he who sleeps for 8 hours in the night will accomplish more due to his higher energy level than one who had only slept for 4. This was true in the 11th century, and it is true now in the 21st century.

Why is Sleep So Important?

Sleep helps to improve concentration, organize your memory, deeply set into your mind what you learned during the day, and much, much more. It also releases growth hormones that are key to restoring and repairing your physical body.
