HOW MUCH INFLAMMATION
SHOULD PROLOTHERAPY CREATE?
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.
