WHY PROLOTHERAPY RESULTS MAY NOT BE
SEEN IMMEDIATELY
Prolotherapy
in its ability to cure
chronic pain
is completely dependent on the
Prolotherapy doctor
treating completely the injured structures. This means that all the injured structures are treated with a strong enough solution to heal the area in a reasonable period of time.
We find that most people are cured of their pain with three to six
Prolotherapy sessions. If by the sixth
Prolotherapy
session a person has not had significant improvement, we search for another cause of their pain like infection or allergy.
People who are receiving 30 or 40
Prolotherapy sessions to cure their
chronic pain are paying a lot of money that they wouldn't have to pay if they went to a physician who utilizes stronger
Prolotherapy solutions then they are receiving and/or did more shots per visit.
In general with the
Hackett/Hemwall/Hauser technique of
Prolotherapy, a good rule of thumb in regard to the number of
injections per area is 10 to 20 for an extremity (knee, ankle,
shoulder) and anywhere from 30 to 60 for the neck, back, or
thoracic spine.
Another reason a person gets inadequate
Prolotherapy is that there was inadequate
inflammation with the
Prolotherapy treatment. Remember the body only heals by inflammation. In some people stronger
Prolotherapy solutions are needed to get an adequate
inflammatory reaction after the treatment. Until a person gets the injured structures completely treated with Prolotherapy with a strong enough solution, the person has not failed
Prolotherapy. It is important that after a
Prolotherapy session, that a person feels stiff for at least one to two days. If the stiffness after the treatment only lasts a few hours, then the
immune system reaction to the treatment most likely will not be enough to regenerate the
connective tissue needed for healing. In such a situation there are two options. Figure out why the person has a poor immune response by doing metabolic,
nutritional, and
hormonal testing, or use a stronger
Prolotherapy solution. Physicians who have a lot of experience doing Prolotherapy may have ten different solutions they use depending on the individual case.
