Prolotherapy and Arthritis

Arthritis Pain
There is an epidemic of people suffering from chronic pain. We believe part of the reason is incorrect diagnosis. Very seldom do we find that arthritis itself, is the cause of the pain in sufferers. It is estimated that 15% of the U.S. population has arthritis, with prevalence being about 50% over the age of 65 and only 5% under the age of 44.
Degenerative Joint Disease
Getting old has nothing to do with chronic pain. Chronic pain has it causes, yes, but they do not include advancing age! Pain is a signal that something is wrong, something has become injured or weakened. For most, this is a signal that the ligaments that stabilize joints have become lax or weak. This pain is signalling then the onset of most degenerative joint disease.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Gerd came to Caring Medical with severe Rheumatoid Arthritis. He was taking up to 1600mg of Ibuprofen per day and Azulfidine. He was put on Azulfidine after visiting the Mayo Clinic to try and get his Rheumatoid Arthritis under control, but it didn’t work.

ARTHROFIBROSIS
Recently a patient came in because they called another Prolotherapy office and the doctor didn’t want to treat their arthrofibrosis. Arthrofibrosis is a term that can be broken down to ‘arthro’ meaning joint and ‘fibrosis’ meaning scarring; thus, arthrofibrosis means a joint is full of scar tissue. In such a situation the person has a tremendous decrease in range of motion of the joint(s) involved. In this patient it involved the fingers.

Prolotherapy and Arthritis
"I will be blunt and to the point! I HURT! It doesn’t matter if its winter, summer, night or day - I HURT! I have tried various pills without any help. I am only 42 years old and the doctors say that I have arthritis. Please help me! I’m even having trouble getting through the day working."
Osteoarthritis and Prolotherapy
Osteoarthritis (or degenerative joint disease (DJD)) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting nearly the entire elderly population. Osteoarthritis is described as a generally progressive loss of articular cartilage accompanied by sclerosis of subchondral bone and, in many instances, the formation of subchondral bone cysts and osteophytes. The osteophytes are the overgrowth of bone that make joints look big and are the abnormalities that physicians see on x-ray showing arthritis in the joints.

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.
