Miracle or experience, based on use and scientific research during decades. Prolotherapy is the injection-based method, intended for the restoration of the structure of connective tissue in the human body. Let me remind you that all tendons, ligaments, intra-articular cartilage consists of connective tissue. The method of prolotherapy doesn’t envisage the use of any kind of biological elements (blood, tissue cells, etc.). The main substance, used in prolotherapy is highly concentrated glucose solution and highly concentrated sodium bicarbonate.
Injection of concentrated glucose solution causes several amazing, scientifically proven effects:
1. Fast growth of production of growth factors (factors, which help the organism structures to restore any damage). Develops during the period from 20 minutes to 10 days.
2. Activation of the cascade of regeneration of damaged tissues. Starts in 10 days from the first procedure and lasts up to 3-6months.
3. Effect of local microtrauma (achieved by injection in accurately defined anatomic areas) which facilitates restoration of damaged structures. Appears in the period from 20 minutes to 10 days.
4. Restoration of the function of the local nervous fibers, representing the main source of pain. Appears after 2-5 seconds and lasts up to 2 days.
The method of prolotherapy works excellently in the case of diseases of tendons, ligaments of any location, including the spinal column. The method is also effective for the restoration of damaged cartilage of joints of any location. Prolotherapy gives good results in the management of pain in any section of the spinal column.
Prolotherapy can be conducted at any age. Contradiction can be damage of skin in the area of manipulation, high body temperature in the moment of conducting of the procedure.
Intravenous injection of concentrated glucose doesn’t change glucose levels in the blood and doesn’t interfere with the diabetes treatment regime. Numerous scientific studies show, that the regeneration process is individual. In any case, the above-mentioned method is used as the means of gradual reduction of the intensity of pains and gradual increase of physical abilities of the diseased joint, tendon. And to people, striving for fast results, we advise conducting combined restoration therapy.
