Prolotherapy and
Knee Surgery failure

During an initial consultation, I explain to patients that
Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. and can help many conditions, including a knee that has been through surgery.  

It doesn’t matter if the damage to the knee came from an injury,
NSAID, cortisone shot, or surgical procedure, the tissue will heal the same way.  If a joint and/or its structures are damaged, weakened, torn, or degenerated, the treatment needed is Prolotherapy.

When a person has surgery on a knee, they are typically left with a decreased amount of meniscal tissue, which causes greater stress on the 
articular cartilage (see also Articular Cartilage Growth).  In this case, physicians who perform Prolotherapy will inject Prolotherapy injections, (Watch where do Prolotherapy injections go and do they hurt?)  into the joint to stimulate repair.  

Sometimes stronger proliferants will need to be used to promote faster healing
. Cartilage cells have Growth Hormone receptors on them. In terms of repair, cartilage is generally slower to heal than other tissues treated with Prolotherapy.  Therefore, it may take more time and treatment sessions. With enough patience, the articular cartilage (see research paper) can and will be repaired.

 



Prolotherapy is also successful for the person who experiences suboptimal results from
knee surgery.  Because the degenerative process is always the same, Prolotherapy can be used to stimulate repair to the areas that were injured with surgery.  Athletes and those with prior surgeries are finally realizing that they can get back to sports because of the healing powers of Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy is effective for a multitude of knee injuries since all of them involve injuries to the same soft tissue structures, which include the menisci, articular cartilage, tendons, and ligaments.  Thanks to Prolotherapy, the athlete and those desiring to be active can heal their sports injuries and other knee pains permanently, naturally, and safely!

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.
