Mayo Clinic and
Prolotherapy |
The Mayo Clinic in their April 2005 (Volume 23 number 4)
Mayo Clinic Health Letter promotes
Prolotherapy. Dr.
Gustav Hemwall, my predecessor, and the doctor who was the
main proponent and teacher in Prolotherapy from 1965-1995,
always thought before he died he would see the Mayo Clinic
finally acknowledge and accept Prolotherapy. Dr. Hemwall
who died in 1998 never saw that day but he would be
extremely pleased that the day finally has arrived.
The Mayo Clinic Health
Letter's top story for the April 2005 issue revolves
around alternative treatments in dealing with
chronic pain. They show an
elbow getting Prolotherapy. They write "when
chronic
ligament or
tendon pain hasn't responded to
more-conservative treatments, Prolotherapy may be helpful. Prolotherapy involves injections that introduce an
inflammatory (sclerosing) agent to affected ligaments or
tendons. The sclerosing agent causes a temporary low-grade
inflammation. It's thought that this inflammation leads to
the production of
connective tissue, which strengthens
loosened tendons or ligaments and results in less pain. Ligament or
tendon pain may be due to
laxity or instability
of these connective tissues. Locations most likely to
benefit from Prolotherapy include the: ankle, knee, elbow,
sacroiliac joint in the
lower
back.
Prolotherapy treatments
for a painful ligament or tendon are usually spread out over
several sessions....they go on to say...Unlike
steroid injections - which may provide temporary
relief - Prolotherapy involves improving the injected
tissues by stimulating tissue growth."
There you have it, the
'Mecca' has stated that Prolotherapy stimulates tissue
growth and is used for tendon and ligament pain. Sounds
like all the stuff we/Dr. Hemwall has been saying for 50
years. Some people take a little longer to understand
stuff...for the Mayo Clinic it took 50 years. Great job,
whoever, at Mayo Clinic finally saw the light. Might you
replicate yourselves many fold!
