How Does Prolotherapy Help with Chronic Pain?
Prolotherapy is a procedure where the doctor injects an irritant solution into an injured joint or tendon. The solution will cause irritation which will allow for more blood flow to the problem area. This will trigger the damaged tissue to repair itself. In effect, Prolotherapy is a procedure that stimulates your body to heal itself in a particular area. During the time your body naturally heals the injury, the pain in the area should steadily decrease. After a few procedures, pain has been known to completely subside.
Chronic Pain
Prolotherapy can be an effective treatment for inflammation for the following issues: musculoskeletal pain, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, unresolved whiplash injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic tendonitis, partially torn tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, degenerated or herniated discs, TMJ, and sciatica. Prolotherapy is actually healing and regenerating to damaged tissue for a vast assortment of injuries.
Lifestream Health Centers and Pain Management
Prolotherapy usually takes between 30-45 minutes. It is not very invasive. A mild sedation is used, so patients are asked not to eat for twelve hours prior to the scheduled procedure. Patients must have transportation to and from the procedure.
