How Many Prolotherapy Injections?

While the notion of getting a lot of Prolotherapy injections into your body may not be appealing, surely you want every area of your body treated that is causing pain?  Is it any wonder when a person goes to a Prolotherapy doctor and gets two or three shots why they don’t get completely better? 

We all know conceptually if you injure a structure in a joint that over time that injury is going to affect all the structures of the joint.  Most people come to a Prolotherapy doctor after they have had the pain for several years.  What may have started out as a simple ligament sprain, after 3-6 years is now a total joint problem.  All the structures of the joint and around the joint (or at least the majority of them) need to be treated with Prolotherapy to completely alleviate the pain! 

It is common for me to see patients for the first time who talk about the one shot
Prolotherapy they received at another office.  While in the most technical sense, this might be Prolotherapy, (because they used a PProlotherapy solutions), it may not be effective. To be effective, the Prolotherapy doctor must do the following:

  • Stimulate all the structures that are injured to heal.

  • Use enough solution per structure to induce a sufficient healing reaction.

  • Use a strong enough solution per structure to induce a sufficient healing reaction.

  • Help the person obtain maximum health if their health is not good.

  • Assist the person in getting off medications, supplements, or traditional hormones (like birth control pills) that inhibit healing.

  • Assist the person to get their lifestyle and relationships such that they help, rather than hinder, progress.

There is obviously more to it than the above, but the main point here is that in the history of Caring Medical, we have never had one patient ever leave the office disappointed that they didn’t get enough shots!

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.
