How Does Prolotherapy
Work?
Prolotherapt stimulates the growth of
collagen, the material that
ligaments,
tendons and other connective tissues are
made of.
Prolotherapy, Its
History
Prolotherapy is the
injection of an irritant solution into the joint, or where the ligaments and tendons attach to the bone. These are the areas where pain is often most intense.
The idea of introducing an irritant into an injured joint is far from new.
What are in the
Prolotherapy Injections?
There are a number of
different types of
injections which have
proven to be successful
in Prolotherapy.
Although they work in
different ways,
motivating the body to
heal itself through a
variety of natural
responses, the end
result is the same: to
cure pain by building
new tissue and
stabilizing the joints.
The Doctor's Visit A Prolotherapy physician
will physically examine
the patient, being
careful to gently press
on the suspect area
causing pain. When the
physician's touch
elicits an intense pain
spot, known as a
trigger
points
or tender point,
this is the spot where
Prolotherapy is given.
