Why Does Prolotherapy Work? Developed in the 1940's by
Dr. George Hackett, Prolotherapy
stimulates the body to repair painful areas. Its effectiveness is wide-ranging
and includes pain associated with: the back, the
neck, all joints throughout the
body, arthritis,
migraines
fibromyalgia, sciatica,
herniated
discs, and
TMJ.
Most neck, back and other musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness of
ligaments
and
tendons. Since ligaments and tendons are the
connective tissue
that hold
our muscles to bone, and bone to bone, both must be taut and strong.
Back pain results when weak ligaments and tendons cause the
spine to become "unstable." Vertebrae begin to slip, move and rotate
from their proper position, causing pressure on the nerves. Limited results in
pain alleviation may be achieved with cortisone and other anti-inflammatory
agents but these do not address the cause of the pain. Temporary pain
suppression is not a cure for the underlying problem: ligament and tendon
weakness. Advocates of the technique say Prolotherapy is the long-term solution
to chronic pain because it strengthens the ligaments and tendons so they can
move the vertebrae back into their proper places.
Prolotherapy involves the
injection of an
"irritant" solution (something as simple as a sugar or salt solution,
cod liver oil or corn extract) into the area where the ligaments have either
been weakened or damaged through
injury. The injection is given at the point where the ligament connects to the
bone. With this injection, the prolotherapist causes the body to heal itself
through the process of
inflammation.
When an irritant is introduced, at the site of injury, the
immune system is summoned to the area. The body begins a healing process exactly
where the painful area is located. New fibrous tissue is laid, repairing and
strengthening the ligaments so that they can pull the vertebrae back where they
belong and alleviate pain.
Prolotherapy treatment sessions are generally given every four to six weeks to
allow time for the growth of the new connective tissue. Patients usually require
four to six treatment sessions for complete recovery, some
experience more immediate results. |
