Physical Therapy and Prolotherapy

Dr. Hauser Answers your questions
Q. Physical Therapy and Prolotherapy
I had Prolotherapy after an on the job injury and re-injury during worker's compensation therapies. I was reluctant to try Prolotherapy because it isn't "main stream" therapy But I am so glad that I did. I was re-injured it the next year in a car wreck and had a "booster" to the original Prolotherapy. Two years later I still have muscle weakness that is bringing back a less than before pain in the area. I started PT today and am hoping that by strengthening the muscles in the general area of the previous Prolotherapy so long ago, will lessen my pain and increase my flexibility. Can you comment on this?

A. When you have an injury or trauma and that injury or trauma lingers on, the muscular around the injury or trauma atrophy or weakened. It always important to keep muscle strength up. The ligaments provide stability to the joints but the muscles are the ligaments back-up. In other they are suppose to become painful when the joint is being stretched too much. Weak muscles, make ligament and joint injury more likely. Doing exercises with the Prolotherapy is almost always a good idea, as the person recovers quicker.

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.
