Prolotherapy and Knee Surgery

Prolotherapy and Knee Surgery

Prolotherapy & the Surgical Repaired Knee
During an initial consultation, I explain to patients that Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. and can help many conditions, including a knee that has been through surgery.

Never Have Knee Surgery Based on an MRI
Recently I saw an athlete who had been on a world championship national volleyball team years ago, and remains active in the sport. He complained about an unstable left knee since a minor mishap several months ago while playing basketball, and he also had a history of arthroscopic surgery on that same knee.

PROLOTHERAPY AND ARTIFICIAL KNEES
Yes, Prolotherapy can help people with artificial knees and hips, assuming the knees and hips are aligned in the proper position. Most of the pain after an artificial knee or hip relates to the structures around the joint.

Healing Knee Injuries Without Surgery
Prolotherapy, in my opinion, is the best way to avoid surgery! It can promote the repair of torn cruciate ligaments, torn medial collateral ligaments, injured meniscus and chondromalacia.

Surgical Alternatives for the Knee Ligament
The complications of orthopedic surgery on knee ligaments are significant and frequent. The ligament grafts are profoundly weakened about eight weeks after surgery. At this time their strength is about 10 percent of its initial strength! It is only 50 percent of initial strength after one year. In two to three years the grafts are at their strongest, and then, less than their initial strength.(1) Compare this to one study where ligament strength was measured after a six-week period of doing Prolotherapy on knee ligaments.

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY FOR OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE
Recently I looked over several articles in newspapers and a nice clinical review article, all explaining how arthroscopy for knee arthritis is on the rise despite the lack of evidence that it helps get rid of pain. Most of the knee patients we see at Caring Medical have had knee arthroscopy and from what I can tell it accelerates the arthritic process. We feel a better approach would be to repair the arthritic process with Prolotherapy.

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.
