I believe pain is the Nature's way of letting us know there is a problem. Sometimes the cause of this pain is far from the actual painful area. This is called referred or ridicular pain, that is it radiates from another area. This pain causes us to seek pain relief. In seeking this relief we try pain medication, NSAIDs, cortisone injections, narcotics and surgery with mixed results.
When we Mask the pain with painkillers we can make it worse in the long run by causing a deterioration of connective tissue such as ligaments or tendons. Dextrose Prolotherapy is the golden key to treating pain and offering a more permanent treatment method that actually makes the injured area stronger and repairs the injury without the risks of surgery.

I have been going to Dr, Nicholas Shirghio for over two years. My knees have never felt better. My Orthopedic doctor said I had bone on bone and my only option after receiving many cortisone shots was to have knee replacement. That was not an option for me. I went on line and read about acupuncture and Prolotherapy recommended by many of his patients.
I feel like a new woman again doing yoga 3 times a week, the treadmill and the elliptical without any pain. Give Dr, Nick a try you won't regret it.
He is very knowledgeable, caring, and professional and the best in his profession.

I had been having continuous passion in my neck due to a pinched nerve in my back/neck. I was having trouble sleeping which was only making it worse. I had never done acupuncture before. My chiropractor (Dr. Richard Barone who is in the same building) suggested I try Nicholas Shirghio. I feel asleep on the table with needles doing their work! I felt much better after the treatment and went back two more times. After each treatment, my muscles felt more relaxed and I was in less pain.
