What Exactly is Sports
Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a treatment that stimulates that
body to heal the painful area. This is the best definition of
Prolotherapy. Read it again, changed just slightly. Prolotherapy is a
treatment that stimulates the body to repair the painful areas.
Rate of Healing with Prolotherapy
For most, one treatment of
Prolotherapy is not sufficient to cause enough growth of ligament and
tendon tissue to permanently eliminate the chronic pain or sports
injury. The typical young athlete requires about two or three
treatments, adult athletes typically require anywhere from four to eight
treatments.
Exactly What is in a Prolotherapy Injection?
The basic mechanism of Prolotherapy is simple. A substance is injected,
which leads to local inflammation. The localized
inflammation triggers a wound-healing cascade, resulting in the
deposition of new collagen. New collagen shrinks as it matures. The
shrinking collagen tightens the ligament that was injected and makes it
stronger.

Prolotherapy Risks
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
