Prolotherapy Knee Injury

Prolotherapy and Knee Injury

Prolotherapy and Pes Anserinus Tendons
The most common cause of knee pain is not ligament injury. (We realize that this is shocking, since we have been explaining in past newsletters that ligaments are normally the cause of chronic pain.) The most common cause of chronic knee pain is weakness in the pes anserinus tendons.

Knee Cap Patella Disorders & Prolotherapy
When there is a problem with this part of the knee it manifests as pain in the front of the knee after strong exertion (running, walking, or stair climbing.) This may be due to erosion of the cartilage on the under side of the patella, poor tracking of the patella in its groove on the front of the knee, or an inflamed tendon on the lower edge of the patella.

Knee Injuries in the Older Athlete
Knee injury and pain is also quite common in the older athlete. Pain can be due to osteoarthritis of the knee joint, arthritis behind the patella (kneecap), sprain of the ligaments on the inner and outer part of the knee (medial and lateral collateral ligaments), and weakness of ligaments inside the knee (anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments).

Swimmer's Knee Injuries
A study on the incidence of injuries to various parts of the musculoskeletal system of swimmers, and noticed that a high percentage of breaststroke swimmers complained of pain in the medial knee.

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.
