Before you get hooked on drugs, learn to live with chronic pain or risk the complications of surgery…try Prolotherapy!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Orange County,
California,
United States of America
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 18, 2011 --Prolotherapy works for all sorts of pains. Back, hip, wrist, neck, occipital headaches, ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow, etc. Prolotherapy can help with all sorts of injuries, such as common athletic: football, wrestling, dancing, tennis, golf, etc. It can even help even after surgery didn’t help or made it worse.
Prolotherapy and Connective Tissue Injury
The body is capable of truly amazing physical actions though like anything else it is vulnerable to over use and injury.
Prolotherapy has been proven to regenerate, strengthen and relax connective tissue (CT). CTs are the ligaments, tendons and cartilage found in and around every joint of the body. CTs are responsible for maintaining stable musculoskeletal structure and function. The musculoskeletal systems in its many parts work in one fluid dynamic to perform seemingly effortless movements. CTs provide the flexibility and stability for these movements. CTs connect bone to bone and muscle to bone along all joints within the body. Our ability to make any movement, pain free or otherwise is dependent on these connections. If the body is unstable due to injured CT it will develop chronic lingering pain. Individuals that demonstrate difficult muscular actions, vague pain syndromes, unstable joints and negative diagnostic imaging in my experience resolve around 90% of the time with prolo treatment. Everyone’s healing response is different but typically this takes 3 to 5 treatments. Sometimes only one treatment is needed to heal the tissues.
What is Prolotherapy?
The prolotherapy procedure is to inject a medicinal solution at the interface of the bone and its related connective tissues that demonstrate injury. Usually a solution of 12.5% dextrose (a sugar), bacterial static water and lidociane (local anesthetic) are used. When this solution is injected into for example a ligament this causes an inflammatory/immune response followed by growth mediators to proliferate new healthy tissue and heal old injured tissue. Here Instead of cortisone shots that inhibit the immune response and drugs to mask the pain you have the potential of a truly curative response.
Prolotherapy is still a relatively unknown therapy to the public. There are many physicians that practice it and these numbers continue to grow. Prolotherapy is for those doctors that want to find more then drugs and surgery for their patients.
It is Easy to Diagnose Connective Tissue Injury through History and Physical Examination.
Through history, orthopedic examination and imaging diagnostics (often not needed) you can easily determine if your pain syndrome will respond to prolotherapy. Injured ligaments have typical pain referrals and are tender to palpitation. Also if diagnostic imaging shows no bony deformity, fractures, disk pathology and/or calcium deposits ligaments, tendons and cartilage are typically the culprit. This can be confirmed through injecting lidocaine into a connective tissue structure that is thought to be the cause of the pain. This simple procedure will anesthetize the pain and its referrals confirming the need for prolotherapy. If ligament or cartilage structures are determined to be the cause of the pain then prolotherapy is an indicated and highly effective treatment.
Procedural Use of lidocaine Secures Effective Treatment.
Another great aspect of prolotherapy is that through the use of a local anesthetic (lidocaine) you can confirm all injured sites are addressed during the treatment. When ligaments are injured they create pain syndromes often referring pain in other body structures other then the injured ligament. When we inject the prolo solution into an injured ligament this referred pain disappears due to anesthetizing the source of the pain. This enables us to locate all injured sites during treatment and results in a very effective treatment.
Ligament injury is a structural consideration, a pain syndrome that is due to a number of different CT structures that support a joint. For instance there may be 6 injured ligaments around a joint that is the source of a pain syndrome. During the treatment if 5 of those locations have been anesthetized with lidocaine and there is still somewhat of a pain syndrome left it becomes a matter of simply finding the final injured location.
Conclusions
It is a great pleasure to offer prolotherapy to those that seek my care.
May people deal daily with chronic pain in all forms of limitations and frustrations. They experience pains that lead to risky surgeries and medicines that are highly addictive. These pains often never go away with the typical treatments but instead worsen due to repetitive injury and or physical stagnation.
Prolotherapy is a very effective treatment. It stimulates growth factors to regenerate injured connective tissue which can be responsible for all sorts of pains. It is easy to determine if Prolotherapy treatment is called for. The use of lidocaine confirms superior treatment results. It is this doctor’s experience that considering negative pathological diagnostic imaging prolotherapy is effective in 90% of cases. Even with positive pathological diagnostic imaging there still may be ligament injury that when treated can relieve some level of pain.
