Curing Pain with Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy,
also known as Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), is
an effective technique for treating many types of
joint or musculoskeletal pain. Prolotherapy is a
series of injections in and around the joint structure
that stimulate the body’s own mechanism to grow and
strengthen joint tissues.
The basic
mechanism of Prolotherapy is simple. A substance is
injected into the affected ligaments or tendons, which
leads to local inflammation. The localized inflammation
triggers a wound healing cascade, resulting in the
deposition of new collagen, the material that ligaments and
tendons are made of. New collagen shrinks as it matures,
thereby tightening the ligament that was injected and makes
it up to 40% stronger than normal tissue! Prolotherapy can
completely rehabilitate areas of pain and dysfunction and
has an 80-85% success rate.
Even though the
example bellow is of a knee joint, it can happen to every
joint in you body:
