Prolotherapy: What’s the Solution? Ross Hauser, M.D. Many of our readers have emailed us questions asking about the solutions used for Prolotherapy. As with any kind of medical treatment, each physician may use a little bit different solution or technique. Our most commonly used Prolotherapy solution is made of dextrose, lidocaine, Sarapin, and sterile water. Gustav Hemwall, M.D., the grandfather of Prolotherapy, found this solution to be the safest, most effective solution and we have found the same to be true. Most patients do very well with this standard solution. However, sometimes we need to give the body a little bit stronger proliferative solution due to the severity or longevity of the injury, or, in the case of some of our athlete patients – the desire to speed up the healing process. Here are some commonly asked Prolotherapy solution-related questions and our answers: I have heard a lot about PRP. Do you use it for all of your Prolotherapy cases? PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is a fairly new technique that involves drawing some of the patient’s own blood and then processing it and using the growth factors to do the Prolotherapy. We have found this technique to be useful in cases of severe labral and meniscal (knee) tears or avascular necrosis of the hip. We have also used it when a patient is not responding quite as well as we had hoped and has a more severe injury. Do you use human growth hormone (HGH) in your Prolotherapy solutions? We typically use HGH along with regular Prolotherapy solution, in knee joints and hip joints, but also in other joints to help with cartilage regeneration. Do you use glucosamine in your Prolotherapy solutions? We typically use Glucosamine along with regular Prolotherapy solution, in knee joints and hip joints, but also in other joints to help with cartilage regeneration, as is often seen in cases of bad arthritis. |
