As a primary author in the field of prolotherapy I am editing the Wikipedia site on prolotherapy. This is with full awareness of other primary authors in this field. I have no products to disclose and have been laboring to produce primary research in this area since 1996 without any proprietary interest or financial support other than $1,000 a month research seed money kindly provided from the American Association of Orthopedic Medicine beginning in 2012. If there any questions, feel free to relate them to me by email at DeanReevesMD@gmail.com

Excluding textbook contributions, I have authored or coauthored the following journal articles in the field that appear on PubMed:
