Prolotherapy
is a non-surgical procedure that stimulates the repair of injured, damaged
ligaments and tendons.
It involves
the
injection of natural substances (along with anesthetics so the injections
don't hurt that much) at the exact site of an injury to stimulate the immune
system to repair the area. The exact term for the natural healing process that
occurs after an injury is inflammation. Thus, Prolotherapy causes an
inflammatory reaction at the exact site of injuries to such structures as
ligaments, tendons, mensici, muscles, growth plates, joint capsules, and
cartilage to stimulate these structures to heal. |
