Dr. Marc Darrow is a Board Certified Physiatrist specializing in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. He is also an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles’s, School of Medicine.

As medical director of the Joint Rehabilitation & Sports Medicine Center in Los Angeles, Dr. Darrow has focused his practice on musculoskeletal injury, pain management, electro diagnosis (EMG/NCS), and sports medicine and rehabilitation.

The approach Dr. Darrow uses is threefold. He calls it the Trinity of Healing, and focuses equally on all three aspects.

1. Treat the physical body that needs the repair,

2. Address the mind that lives in that body and deals with the pain, and;

3. Attempt to move the patient's focus to the spiritual value of his or her experience. In essence to transcend the physical and move to a higher consciousness.

An avid sports enthusiast, Dr. Darrow discovered Prolotherapy after an injury on the golf course caused him to suffer the kind of chronic pain that afflicts millions of Americans.

A skeptical Dr. Darrow became a believer in the therapeutic healing power of Prolotherapy and trigger point injections after only one treatment. Since then he has devoted his practice to Prolotherapy, a little known, natural therapy that is revolutionizing the way we treat pain.

In addition to practicing medicine with an emphasis on musculoskeletal injury, pain management, electro-diagnosis (EMG/NCS), sports medicine, and rehabilitation medicine, including Prolotherapy and trigger point injections, Dr. Darrow still finds time to continue his research. He is a Qualified Medical Examiner certified by the State of California, author of The Knee Sourcebook, The Collagen Revolution: Living Pain Free, The Hollywood Pain Solution and Prolotherapy: Living Pain Free

Healthy, lusty sex is wonderful.

- John Wayne

Let's begin with a visualization exercise. I want you to picture someone who personifies sexiness. Is it yourself, your partner, a peer, or is it someone younger -- perhaps Angelina Jolie or Jude Law? Unfortunately, sex appeal is often...
