Strong Immune System,
Better Prolotherapy Response
How many
Prolotherapy treatments are needed? The number of treatments varies
with each patient. Many of our patients have reported partial or complete relief
of pain after only one session. Patients with a healthy
immune system generally
require fewer treatments. The average person requires 4 to 6 treatment sessions
given at 4 to 6 week intervals.
Prolotherapy depends upon the immune system to heal. It is the person’s
immune system that grows the
lligaments,
tendons and other structures that need to be repaired to get the person
out of chronic pain.
So for Prolotherapy to
work, a strong immune response is needed, if someone has a compromised
immune system, Prolotherapy may or will not be successful.
For
the person who has a host of other chronic
nutritional, hormonal, allergic
problems, these deficiencies and illnesses should be corrected so the
body will be able to respond to Prolotherapy.
In our practice we
do comprehensive testing and offer natural medicine by way of
nutritional counseling and other modalities to
assist the patient prior to/during Prolotherapy.
Nutritional therapies
are sometimes needed to expedite the healing process. Our mentor and perhaps
the world's greatest
Prolotherapy
doctor,
Gustav A. Hemwall, M.D., never
gave anyone a vitamin supplement, nor did he take one himself. He lived to
be 90 years old. Dr. Hemwall just kept treating the painful areas with
Prolotherapy and had great success. In our experience, however, doing
proper nutritional and hormonal therapies in conjunction with the Prolotherapy can substantially reduce the number of treatments required in
severe cases. When the inhibitory and stimulatory factors of
connective tissue
growth are considered, this type of approach makes the most amount of sense.
