Are you an ideal
candidate for Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy stimulates
the body to repair the painful area. For the patient who has localized areas of
pain or the person who has had a recent injury from an accident, Prolotherapy is
a very effective treatment to strengthen those specific areas and eliminate the
pain. Realize, however, that Prolotherapy starts the growth of new healthy,
strong tissue. Your body--your own immune system--grows the tissue. For the
person who has terrible digestion, chronic fatigue, irritable bladder; and a
host of other chronic
nutritional, hormonal, allergic problems, these
deficiencies and illnesses should be corrected so the body will be able to
respond to Prolotherapy. The ideal Prolotherapy candidate has the following: 1. Pain originating from a ligament or tendon 2. Strong immune system 3. Willingness to improve and receive follow-up visits 4. Healthy diet 5. Positive mental outlook For Arthritis and Fibromyalgia Most people who suffer
from
arthritis and Fibromyalgia have a portion of their pain or all of their
pain from ligament and tendon injury. Most muscle spasms occur because the
underlying ligaments are weakened and the muscles spasm to stabilize the joints,
as occurs in Fibromyalgia. The same can be said for arthritis except the body is
stabilizing the joints in this condition by overgrowing bone. This overgrowth of
bone is called arthritis. When Prolotherapy Does Not Work The most common reasons why a person may not attain 100 percent improvement with Prolotherapy are the following: 1. Inadequate (depressed) immune system 2. Nutritional deficiencies 3. Hormonal deficiencies 4. Other factors causing the pain that are not being addressed 5. Correct area being treated but repair not yet complete 6. Wrong area being treated This last fact is often overlooked. A good example of this relates to patients with lower back pain. All that is typically needed for curing back pain is for the patients to receive Prolotherapy to the lower back at the sacroiliac joints. In a small percentage of the people, the sacroiliac joint remains weakened because the pelvic joint in the front (pubic symphysis) also needs to be treated. The sacroiliac ligaments, in this instance, will only maintain the strength that is attained with Prolotherapy if the pubic symphysis is also treated. |
