Soft Tissue Injury
Benign Congenital Hypermobility
An often overlooked but extremely important reason for chronic body pain is benign congenital hypermobility (BCH) Generalized joint hypermobility (loose joints in the entire body) due to ligamentous laxity occurs in about five percent of the population.
 

Ligament Injury and Referred Pain Patterns
The chief principle of Prolotherapy is that it treats the root cause of chronic pain and sports injuries—ligament and tendon weakness. The chief symptom of ligament and/or tendon injury is pain.

Ligament Injury
We think many athletes and people suffering from chronic pain do not heal their initial injuries because of improper treatment. This improper treatment generally takes the form of one or all of the following recommendations: rest, ice, immobilization, anti-inflammatory medications, cortisone shots, taping, or bracing.

Connective Tissue Damage
There are many articles written on
chronic pain though rarely is mention given to the main culprits for pain, the connective tissues of the spine and joints.

Tendinopathy
When a person comes in and says the word ‘tendinopathy’ I know right away several things:
-The person has had a ton of treatments that haven’t worked.

-The person has spent a lot of their own money on treatments that haven’t worked.
-The person has spent a lot of time doing treatments that haven’t worked.

-The person has taken anti-inflammatory medications or had cortisone shots that have actually caused or contributed to the tendinopathy.

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.
