PROLOTHERAPY CAN HELP PEOPLE WITH ARTIFICIAL KNEES

PROLOTHERAPY CAN HELP PEOPLE WITH ARTIFICIAL KNEES
Yes, Prolotherapy can help people with artificial knees and hips, assuming the knees and hips are aligned in the proper position. Most of the pain after an artificial knee or hip relates to the structures around the joint. For the knees, it is the pes anserina tendons. These are stretched during the surgery and often when a person rehabs after a knee replacement these tendons and their muscles are not strengthened. Most likely this area had degenerated along with the knees prior to the surgery and nothing had been done to strengthen it. So when the knee joint is strong and the tendons and muscles are not strong, pain inevitably develops. By strengthening the tendon attachments of the pes anserina around the knee with Prolotherapy, the knee pain typically resolves and walking improves dramatically.

When a person gets a knee or hip replacement there is a lot of stretching of normal anatomical structures during the surgery. So residual pain after the surgery can be ligament or tendon laxity (weakness/tearing). Typically three to six visits of Prolotherapy can help alleviate the pain.

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.
