Prolotherapy

The music playing on this page is Always On My Mind

Prolotherapy is being used as an alternative treatment for joint pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, JH, tendonitis and TMJ. Also known as non-surgical ligament reconstruction, it involves the injection of solutions to induce the proliferation of new cells. The procedure is generally considered experimental by Medicare and most insurance carriers.

Prolotherapy is a nonsurgical treatment for damaged ligaments that relieves musculoskeletal pain. An irritant solution is injected into areas where ligaments are weak, triggering the body to heal the injury and thereby naturally strengthen the joint, from WholeHealthMD.

Prolotherapy is an injection that relieves musculoskeletal pain. The injection is made where the strength of ligaments have been compromised.

The solution that is used in Prolotherapy produces inflammation in such a way that the body's resources for making new connective tissue are called into play. The result -- stronger ligaments and tendons.

Prolotherapy is excellent for back pain. There are many ligaments in the spine (26 spinal bones with several ligaments each). Often it is a comprised ligament that causes back pain. Prolotherapy targets the ligaments.

Prolotherapy is also effective in cases of arthritis, fibromyalgia, whiplash, sciatica and disk problems.

The number of qualified doctors specifically trained to administer Prolotherapy is currently growing.
