I agree with all of them and would like to add laser surgery and digital x-rays to breakthroughs that they clinic where I work have made over the last few years. It's not as huge as some of the breakthroughs mentioned but on a smaller scale it has been great for us. jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08111366525685780384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3030368038490158017.post-71990986102043382442012-11-16T08:45:27.110-05:002012-11-16T08:45:27.110-05:00Prolotherapy really isn't regenerative therapy...Prolotherapy really isn't regenerative therapy it is a chemical induction of fibrosis and scar tissue formation.

It was so exciting to have you guys participate!<br /><br />I agree with you regarding the spay/neuter, it prevents lives; though it also prevents painful and cruel deaths, I guess.
