Prolotherapy and Knee Pain
In our opinion, before letting an arthroscope touch you, it is imperative to have an evaluation by a physician familiar with Prolotherapy (a non-surgical alternative.)

Baker's Cyst and Prolotherapy
A cyst is a fluid filled sac in any location of the body. One of the more common areas where cysts occur is the back of the knee. These cysts are called popliteal cysts or Baker's cysts. Typically, damage within the knee causes swelling and the fluid is pumped from the knee to this fluid filled sac. This creates swelling and sometimes pain in the back of the knee. This may cause problems achieving full bending or full straightening of the knee

Knee Braces
It is a familiar locker room ritual. The taping of ankles and knees to provide support and limit movement of an existing injury. Despite numerous medical studies confirming the ineffectiveness of taping, and in some cases, actually contributing to further injury, most continue to do it.

Knee Injury and Cortisone
In our opinion, the quickest way for an patient or athlete to lose strength at the ligament-bone junction (fibro-osseous junction) is to inject cortisone to that area. Cortisone and other steroid injections ALL have the same detrimental effects on articular cartilage.

Prolotherapy and Knee Replacement
This is not too difficult to figure out just from the figures of the number of people needing joint replacement surgery as directly correlated to the number of people who are developing arthritis, which is directly related to the number of people who have received cortisone injections, arthroscopy, RICE treatment, and anti-inflammatory medications over the past 40 years. These treatments accelerate cartilage breakdown tremendously, and thus also accelerate the arthritic process.

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.
