Prolotherapy

When former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. C.Everett Koop was told by several physicians that his back pain was incurable, he refused to accept this diagnosis. He searched for a solution until he found it...with prolotherapy. Within a few weeks of treatment he found complete relief from his  pain. Over the next few years he had several mild relapses which promptly responded with equal success to the same holistic therapy.

Prolotherapy, or non-surgical joint repair, is an injection technique used to stimulate repair of damaged ligaments. Prolotherapy is a treatment for acute and chronic pain.  Prolotherapy technique uses an injection of a mildly irritating solution at the site of the damaged ligament. Often after an injury, the repair process slows down and stops. The injection fools the body into responding as if damage had just occurred. The ligaments build up and the repair process is re-initiated as the natural healing process begins once more.

Results are often observed within days of treatment. Treatment is safe, non-invasive, and for most cases, very effective.

Prolotherapy treatment has been used with excellent results in resistant pain of arthritis, back, neck, knee, shoulder, ankle, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, ligaments and cartilage, degenerated discs, and sciatica.
