What
Could Be Wrong When Prolotherapy Doesn't Work? The key to Prolotherapy is
twofold: you must have a Prolotherapy-Responsive Ailment (PRA), in
other words, a pain that Prolotherapy is effective at treating and you
must get a sufficient
inflammatory response to the area to stimulate repair through the
process of Prolotherapy.
The second part is
not so easy because it isn't under your control. The doctor who
performs the Prolotherapy must give
enough
shots, with enough strength, and enough time to heal the injury. Here at Caring Medicial, we typically do
50-80 shots for a
neck,
thoracic, or
lower
back treatment. Peripheral joints need anywhere from 20-40
injections each.
The treatment should give an inflammatory reaction for
at least one to two days and the inflammatory phase of healing lasts
anywhere from four to six weeks. So we typically see the patient every
month.
Most folks need three to six visits to get over their injuries and
chronic pain with Prolotherapy. If I was getting Prolotherapy and on
treatment number eight or ten and did not have any improvement, I would
seek out another Prolotherapy doctor if the physician did not change anything
he/she was doing. Again, this is dependent on having an injury that Prolotherapy can help.
For Prolotherapy to
work, a strong immune system response is needed, if someone has a compromised
immune system, Prolotherapy may or will not be successful. In our
practice we do comprehensive testing and offer natural medicine by way
of nutritional counseling and other modalities to
assist the patient prior to/during 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.
