When should I get pain relief,
how many follow
up visits?
The
anesthetic in the solution used during
Prolotherapy sessions
often provides
immediate pain relief. The pain relief may continue after the effect of
the anesthetic subsides due to the stabilizing of the treated joints because of
the
inflammation caused by the
Prolotherapy injections,
(Watch where do
Prolotherapy injections go and do they hurt?) This pain relief normally continues for a few weeks after the first treatment.
Between the second and fourth weeks the initial stabilization induced by the
Prolotherapy subsides, and because the initial growth of
ligament tissue is not
complete, some of the original pain may return during this "window period" of
healing.
Follow-up
is recommended at four to six weeks after each treatment to ensure an accurate assessment
of results, avoiding an evaluation of a patient during the "window period."
Prolotherapy is performed every six weeks because most ligaments heal over a
six-week period.
As healing progresses, the quantity of
Prolotherapy injections required per treatment usually
decreases. The pain generally continues to diminish with each treatment unless
it is an acute injury which may heal in only two to three weeks after Prolotherapy.

Why Prolotherapy May Not Be Working For You
We get many emails asking why Prolotherapy may not be working, here
are 10 reasons.
●
Why Prolotherapy Results May Not Be Seen Immediately
Prolotherapy
in its ability to cure
chronic pain
is completely dependent on the Prolotherapy doctor treating completely the injured structures. This means that all the injured structures are treated with a strong enough solution to heal the area in a reasonable period of time.

What
Do You Mean the Prolotherapy Worked?
A patient came in for his sixth
Prolotherapy visit.
●
When Prolotherapy
Doesn't Work?
The key to Prolotherapy is
twofold: you must have a Prolotherapy-Responsive Ailment (PRA), in
other words, a pain that Prolotherapy is effective at treating and you
must get a sufficient
inflammatory response to the area to stimulate repair through the
process of Prolotherapy.
