HOW MUCH INFLAMMATION
SHOULD PROLOTHERAPY CREATE?

Ross Hauser, M.D.

It is quite common for someone to ask me or my staff; “How much inflammation should I have with Prolotherapy?” There are actually two answers to this. The first one is obvious. You need enough inflammation to heal. Someone can heal after Prolotherapy with only a minimal inflammatory discomfort and someone else may have the whole area very tender, stiff and inflamed.

So one can not always go by the amount of stiffness or swelling after the Prolotherapy to determine if that person will heal or not. If someone is not improving and not getting stiffness or inflammation, the Prolotherapist can increase the amount of inflammation by changing the solution but there is a more important point here.

Not getting a good inflammatory reaction even with the most gentle basic
Prolotherapy solution is an indicator that the persons healing ability is severely compromised. What the person needs to do is work on their overall health!!!!

I can not emphasize the last point enough. If a person just has the Prolotherapist ‘increase’ the strength of the solution without correcting their healing deficit, the odds are the person will be back in the Prolotherapists office.

When healing is optimal Prolotherapy works best, often with the more gentle basic solutions.

EAT WELL
For the person wanting to maximize the healing after Prolotherapy, it is essential to eat a healthy diet.

The person getting a sugar load several times a day is walking around in an immunosuppressed state. The immune system is what proliferates the tissue after Prolotherapy. So stop eating sugar and junk food and start eating healthy. It’s all part of the program. You need the building blocks of good nutrition to build new tissue.

Caring Medical, through clinical experience, has developed a simple blood testing method called Diet Typing that can help you determine which diet is best for your particular body type.

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.
