Alternative
treatments for
Anterior Cruciate
Ligament tear
In
this Prolotherapy video hosted at
youtube.com, Ross Hauser, M.D., a
leading
Prolotherapy doctor says that he
believes that the best treatment for
a grade one or grade two tear of the
ACL is Prolotherapy.
If someone has a complete anterior
cruciate ligament tear, they should
get surgery to repair it. But
following the surgery they should
get Prolotherapy, because that will
stimulate the healing in all the
other areas that were injured when
that person tore the anterior
cruciate ligament.
There are two attachments of the
anterior cruciate ligament -
basically on the tibial tubercle, it
attaches the anterior portion and
then the posterior portion goes on
to the lateral femoral condyle. With
Prolotherapy we are often doing both
attachments of the anterior cruciate
ligament. Sometimes you have to
treat the anterior cruciate ligament
from the back side also.
Prolotherapy is very effective at
decreasing the pain, the
instability, and the inability to
exercise that occurs with anterior
cruciate ligament tears.

There is no known cure
for arthritis. Prolotherapy
and nutritional supplements can help alleviate, reverse, or end
arthritic pain by treating an underlying cause that contributes to
degenerative disease, ligament laxity. Strengthening ligaments and other
connective tissue can help prevent bone on bone arthritis from
developing.
