Of all of the Regenerative Medicine treatments available today Prolotherapy has the most published successful studies. How many other Regenerative Medicine treatments do you know with a reported success rate of 80-90%?
It is a very effective Regenerative Medicine treatment for pain due to injuries and arthritis. It has been used for over 70 years. It is part of the same field of medicine as stem cell therapy, but it is much more affordable.
Prolotherapy involves the injection of small amounts of natural substances (along with anesthetic so the injection isn’t too painful) at the exact site of an injury. This stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanism to regenerate collagen at the exact site of injury, strengthening the injured tissue. The final result is more stable joints and decreased or absent pain.
Numerous famous athletes, movie stars, politicians and other people of all walks of life have benefited from all forms of Prolotherapy treatment, including a form called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP prolotherapy).
Prolotherapy can result in an 80-90% success rate according to some studies listed here.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is also available. Platelets found in PRP include growth factors and bioactive proteins that are vital for tissue repair and regeneration. These proteins increase stem cell production to initiate tissue healing.
Dr. Bloom has treated hundreds of patients with Regenerative Medicine Treatments including Olympic athletes, professional kickboxers, rugby players, celebrities and other doctors.
Pain is a sign that there is a problem. Pain is not something which should be stopped with medications until the underlying cause of the pain is identified and corrected.
When we have an injury, we often stretch and weaken tendons and ligaments. These structures have very poor circulation, but a large nerve supply. This lack of circulation deprives them of the nutrients necessary for proper healing. When ligaments and tendons get stretched, these nerves become irritated resulting in pain.
Unfortunately, tendon and ligament tissues are not like muscles and do not improve with exercise. Exercise cannot strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons, but Prolotherapy can.
Prolotherapy helps repair the weakened tendons and ligaments. It has been observed to increase the size of tendons and ligaments an average of 65%. It has been shown to increase their strength by 40%. The tissue formed from this Regenerative Medicine Treatment is strong, healthy and flexible. As tendons and ligaments are repaired, nerves are no longer irritated, and the pain goes away.
Whether you’re a weekend athlete or a professional athlete, this Regenerative Medicine treatment can be very helpful to you. It can not only provide you with pain relief, but it can also help restore normal function and prevent re-injury by strengthening a weakened area that cannot be restored in any other way.
We have treated several tennis pros, marathoners and bodybuilders for serious injuries after they had failed to respond to traditional medical treatment. Several of these athletes were considering surgery which would have required weeks of recuperation and rehabilitation. Instead, after careful research, these athletes chose Prolotherapy. After a few treatments, they were back to their full, pre-injury performance. They had no down time, no recuperation time, and there was no need for rehabilitation.
This Regenerative Medicine treatment can help joint strengthening and promoting cartilage repair for patients with arthritis. Published studies performed by Dr. Dean Reeves have shown that prolotherapy performed in arthritic joints resulted in a significant reduction in pain, swelling, knee buckling and improved x-ray findings including a reduction in bone spurs and increased cartilage regeneration.
