Prolotherapy Regenerative Medicine
Reduces or eliminates chronic musculoskeletal pain caused by injuries or osteoarthritis, and may avoid the need for surgery…
Prolotherapy is a simple, safe, and effective regenerative procedure that signals the body to repair and revitalize degenerated and damaged tissues, including injured tendons, joints, and ligaments. The goals of prolotherapy are to reduce pain, restore structural integrity, and improve natural function.
This can be achieved by inducing a temporary, low-grade inflammatory reaction in the affected area, which draws fibroblasts (healing tissues) to the area and speeds up the repair of collagen, resulting in stronger connective tissues and ligaments.
BENEFITS:
Prolotherapy is a procedure that utilizes a solution of dextrose (a simple sugar), injected into the tissues, where damage has occurred; such as an injured ligament, tendon, or joint. This helps promote healing, strengthening injured areas and some key benefits are:
- Alleviates pain and stiffness
- Promotes the healing of injured and degenerated tissues
- Improves circulation and nerve function
- Revitalize the stability, strength, and mobility of muscles and joints
SOME OF THE CONDITIONS PROLOTHERAPY CAN HELP:
- Osteoarthritis
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) syndrome
- Tennis elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)
- Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis)
- Patellofemoral Syndrome
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sacroiliac joint disorders
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Shoulder Injuries
- Shoulder tendinitis / Rotator Cuff Syndrome
- Hypermobility Syndrome
- Whiplash Complex
Why Should I Consider Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is an all-natural and completely safe procedure that strengthens joints and helps the body repairs itself, resulting in diminished pain. This therapy also improves the back and joints’ general mobility and function.
In addition, Prolotherapy is a same-day procedure. No general anesthesia is required and most patients don’t need post-operative pain medication. You are ready to go home within a few minutes after injections.
Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, Prolotherapy has zero to no side effects, as the solution injected is completely benign.
Dr. Del Rio has helped hundreds of patients suffering from pain, discomfort and stretched (TMJ) joints, ligament or tendon problems. Prolotherapy directly addresses the cause of instability and can help weakened areas by aiding in the formation of new fibrous tissues that results into permanent stabilization of the joints and ligament. In conclusion, prolotherapy can help you live a pain free life.
