Tears and injuries to ligaments and tendons. What do you do?

When there is a significant tear in a muscle, tendon or ligament there are a few options.   In such instances a chiropractor would refer you out to another physician.   Surgery has been there for extensive injuries, but for some, other options are  available.  There's prolotherapy and PRP therapy.  PRP is Platelet Rich Plasma therapy.  Here's an article on PRP therapy  that is interesting.  About 60% of the patients repsonded favorably. I thought it would be higher, but this is one viewpoint.  http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=platelet-rich-plasma-therapy-dennis-cardone-sports-medicine-injury
