Articular Cartilage Growth
Ross Hauser, M.D.

The key to stopping the arthritic process of the knee is to keep the articular cartilage healthy. The ends of the knee bones are lined with articular cartilage. This amazing structure, which is only one-eighth to one half-inch thick, works to distribute the load of each step and minimizes peak stresses by deforming and regaining its previous shape. Articular cartilage is also remarkable in that, once formed, it remains unchanged for many years unless due to injury or illness.

For the cartilage to remain healthy it must be regularly subjected to weight-bearing exercise. Once injured, the articular cartilage makes only a very small attempt to repair itself.

With three to four series of injections, spaced a few weeks apart, pain from injury to the articular cartilage can be improved with Prolotherapy and activities restored! Prolotherapy, in my experience, has been the only treatment I have seen to effectively stimulate articular cartilage growth.

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.
