THE DOCTOR SAID THERE IS NOTHING MORE THEY CAN DO TO GET RID OF YOUR PAIN

Caring Medical has done a lot of Prolotherapy pain studies. We are just having trouble getting them published. It seems that the traditional medical journals are not in favor of “retrospective studies,” (asking patients how they responded to a typical treatment without a placebo control group). I don’t know about you but if a person with knee pain can’t walk, and the only treatment they receive is Prolotherapy and then they can walk one mile without pain, that seems like pretty good proof, but then again maybe I’m an idealist.

In all of these studies we looked specifically at the data in the subgroup that answered yes to the question if they had any doctor tell them that there was nothing more they could do for their pain.

The results were basically the same
Prolotherapy worked.

How can Prolotherapy do this?
In my opinion, most treatments modern medicine have to offer, as it relates to pain are anti-healing. They hurt the body’s chances of healing. I recently saw someone whose doctor had them on an
anti-inflammatory medication and in a ‘boot’ for a tendon problem in their foot. Is the tendon problem getting better? No! Why not? Well the anti-inflammatory should more rightfully be called anti-healing pill because the body heals tendons by the process of inflammation and the immobility by the boot splint, just makes the tendon weaker and stiffer.

Prolotherapy works by induces the body to mount an inflammatory healing reaction in the tissue injected. Prolotherapy injections, (Watch where do Prolotherapy injections go and do they hurt?)  cause the immune system to come to the area to repair the injured structure. Prolotherapy does the opposite as traditional pain treatments and thus people in pain have the opposite reaction! They get stronger, can do more and ultimately get out of pain. So if you or a loved one has been told by a health care provider that there is nothing they nor traditional allopathic has to offer to help you or them get cured of their pain then please consider Prolotherapy. Our studies have affirmed that even people who have been told there there is nothing else they can do for their pain can get relief with Prolotherapy.

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.
