Dr. Clark, our doctor specializing in Prolotherapy treatments, is always here to help provide pain relief through regenerative injections. Prolotherapy has become a great way to heal many injuries that affect your tendons and ligaments; and it will help you avoid surgery in the process. The growing popularity of regenerative injection therapy stems from the fact that it’s a natural and safe treatment that has been proven to deliver desired results. This non-invasive treatment is an amazing solution to most joint discomfort.
What is Prolotherapy?
Injection treatment that stimulates the body’s inflammatory response mechanism to heal joint tendon and ligament injuries to provide pain relief with renewed joint function. Regenerative Prolotherapy injections provide long-term effects, including stronger, pain-free joints.
Dr. Clark carefully determines which patients are eligible for Prolotherapy injection treatment. Patients experiencing joint or back pain should expect a thorough orthopedic medical workup, including musculoskeletal physical examination and skeletal alignment assessment. The doctor will also review (or may even request) imaging studies, such as X-rays and MRIs, in order to decide if a patient is a candidate for therapy.
How do Prolotherapy Injections Work?
Prolotherapy injections contain a regenerative solution that is designed to trigger the body’s inflammatory healing response. Once a patient undergoes this treatment, the body begins repairing and strengthening damaged joint tissue, increasing its stability and reducing discomfort.
here are a multitude of joint injuries that can be treated with Prolotherapy injections. Those injuries include:
-
Joint instability and joint arthritis
-
Sacroiliac joint injury/pain/sprain/dysfunction
-
Low back (lumbar) pain
-
Scoliosis syndrome
-
Sciatica and pseudo sciatica
-
Headaches/migraines
-
Temporomandibular joint (jaw) pain
-
Cervical (neck) pain
-
Thoracic rib intercostal joint pain
-
Shoulder pain
-
Elbow pain
-
Wrist pain
-
Hand and finger pain
-
Hip pain
-
Knee and kneecap pain
-
Ankle pain
-
Foot and toe pain.
The sacroiliac joints, which are of particular importance, are found below the base of the spine, between the sacrum and the left and right iliac hip bones. Sacroiliac joint issues are generally caused by general wear-and-tear , leading to ligament weakness and, ultimately, joint displacement. Sacroiliac joint displacement causes low back pain and results in restricted mobility and difficulty, especially while standing or sitting for long periods of time. Sacroiliac joint ligament weakness and joint displacement are easily healed by regenerative Prolotherapy injections.
Scoliosis is a back ailment associated with sacroiliac joint displacement that can also be healed by Prolotherapy injections. Scoliosis is a potentially severe postural problem, where the vertebral spinal column compensates to the postural effects of sacroiliac joint displacement and twists to form an S-shaped vertebral deformity, often accompanied by a rounded hunchback. Appropriate imaging tests are always considered if there is clinical evidence of any neural component to the scoliosis.
Benefits and Success Rates of Prolotherapy
Regenerative Prolotherapy injections provide a number of benefits, the main one being healing the primary joint displacement, resulting in pain relief. Additionally, the injections are a natural way of treating your joint displacement and pain, without surgery. Other benefits of Prolotherapy include shortened recovery time for acute injuries, with improved strength, and overall function of the joints, tendons and ligaments that are affected. The effectiveness of Prolotherapy has been proven in published random control trials showing high success rates.There are no true negative side-effects of Prolotherapy, outside of a low grade aching during the first 24 hours following the injections. In Dr. Clark’s clinic, the overall success rate of Prolotherapy is 95%, depending of course on the scope and severity of the patient’s injury.
What Should You Expect From Prolotherapy Injections?
During the procedure the doctor will sterilize the area with an antiseptic and and will numb the skin. The doctor follows a specific treatment protocol to ensure that the regenerative injections are administered correctly and safely. The number of injections used to provide relief varies based on the structure being treated.
The time required the patient’s joint injury to heal will vary based on the severity of the joint injury. Most cases show the injury to resolve within one to four months, depending on what joint, ligament, or tendon is affected. Fees are individually determined, depending on the number of structures injected per treatment session and number of treatment sessions required.
