In this video,
Ross Hauser, M.D., a leading
Prolotherapy doctor tells why he believes that
the best treatment for a grade one or grade two tear
is
Prolotherapy. If an athlete has a complete
anterior cruciate ligament tear, they should get
surgery to repair it. But then after a surgery they
should follow up with Prolotherapy, because
Prolotherapy injections will stimulate the
healing in all the other areas that were injured
when that person had an anterior cruciate ligament
tear.
What a lot of athletes do not realize is that there
are two attachments of the anterior cruciate
ligament. With
Prolotherapy treatments we are often doing both
attachments of the anterior cruciate ligament.
Sometimes you have to treat the anterior cruciate
ligament from the back side also.
Prolotherapy is very effective at decreasing the
pain, the instability, and the inability to exercise
that occurs with anterior cruciate ligament tears,
is typically resolved with Prolotherapy. It is easy
to tell that Prolotherapy is working because on
examination the anterior drawer sign, which is a
physical examination sign of
anterior cruciate
ligament injury, improves with Prolotherapy. Besides
that, athletes can walk up and down the stairs and
they can get back to there running. So, Prolotherapy
is absolutely the best and easiest treatment that a
person can receive for anterior cruciate ligament
tears, injuries, and sprains is Prolotherapy.
Typically, folks need to get three to six visits,
but they can train while they are getting treatment.
Meaning that you are not in a cast and you are
getting weaker and weaker, we have the clients rehab
while they are getting Prolotherapy treatment,
allowing them to get back to all their activities by
three to six months.
