Prolotherapy and the ACL Links
ACL Injury and Hormones
Though males and females have the same musculoskeletal structures, there are some unique differences that actually make female athletes more prone to injury.

Cruciate Ligaments of the Knee: ACL, MCL and PCL
ACL's are the deepest ligaments of the knee. They are approximately two inches long and primarily give the knee its anterior/posterior stability. There are in the neighborhood of 200,000 ACL injuries each year. These are one of the best publicized of knee injuries. There is actually a very good reason for this. While cruciate ligament tears are not the most common knee injury, they very commonly do not heal well.

Estrogen and ACL Injuries
If estrogen directly inhibits collagen growth, then the more estrogens in a female's system the more athletic injuries she should incur at certain times of the month.

ACL TREATMENT OPTIONS
"The MRI says I have a complete tear, I guess I need surgery" Maybe not.

There is no known cure for arthritis. Prolotherapy and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from developing.
