Supraspinatous tendon

PROLOTHERAPY: A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT
FOR SUPRASPINATOUS TENDINOSIS

I commonly see an MRI report that a patient brings in that is showing tendinosis. Tendons are what attach muscles to bones and are involved in the movement of joints. Tendinosis means a degenerated tendon(s). For someone who has tendinosis of a rotator cuff tendon, such as the supraspinatous tendon, or other tendons such as the Achilles tendon, the questions to ask are these:

"Which treatment has the best potential to regenerate my degenerated tendon?"

Exercise?
It will help strengthen weak muscles, but won't regenerate degenerated tendons.

Physical therapy?
It can help increase blood flow and make the
tendon feel better, but the area will still be weak and degenerated.

Anti-inflammatories?
No, long-term use causes tendons to become degenerated.

Cortisone shots?
No, they cause tendons to become degenerated.

What about Prolotherapy?

A patient example:

MRI showed tendinosis of the supraspinatous tendon. Doctors wanted to perform surgery but the patient declined and sought alternative therapy! She received three Prolotherapy sessions and didn't even receive shoulder treatments on her last visit because there was no need - her shoulder felt 99% better. I treated other areas of her body because her shoulder was healed and she wanted that same healing in these areas too. She has completed
Prolotherapy treatment to the shoulder. If she desires, we will repeat the MRI to show the healing.

Prolotherapy turns a tendinosis into a tendonitis and eventually a strong tendon. If I had a degenerated body part I would ask the most pertinent question to those offering me care, “Can this therapy regenerate the degenerated tendon?” Only one therapy I know can answer with a resounding “yes!” That therapy is Prolotherapy.

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.
