Prolotherapy is an American method that has been used in the U.S.A. for nearly 60 years, it is known as a non-surgical treatment for the reconstruction of ligaments, tendons, and the joints of the musculoskeletal apparatus.
The pain becomes chronic and persistent if it develops over the course of a disease. Chronic pain has a negative impact on all aspects of an individual’s life, including emotional, physical, financial and social elements.
It works through a micro injection of a glucose solution in the area where the tendons and ligaments are damaged.
Prolotherapy uses an absolutely natural glucose-based solution (15% 25%) associated with a local anesthetic.
It is a treatment that involves the use of small needles for micro infiltrations and involves a modest pain thanks to the use of a local anesthetic.
Each patient should be thoroughly evaluated through a clinical examination, x-rays, and laboratory tests before being subjected to treatment.
It’s a very safe treatment, and with very few side effects. Sometimes a redness can appear around the injection site, which disappears within minutes.
Generally the answer is obtained already after a first treatment, usually 3 are sufficient.
There are many pathologies that respond with excellent results: Pain in the cervical-dorsal-lumbar spine. Primary or secondary pathologies affecting the tendons and ligaments. Tendinitis, tendinosis, metatarsalgia and Morton’s neuroma; Carpal tunnel syndrome; degenerative diseases of the cartilage (Arthrosis).
Prolotherapy is used in most joints with excellent results.
The mechanism
basic of the
prolotherapy
is simple
In “Prolotherapy” a solution of glucose (sugar and water) is used, and it is infiltrated directly into the damaged ligament or tendon / sufferer which is “attached” to the bone. In this weak area, following the infiltration of glucose, a local acute inflammatory reaction with increased perfusion bleeds, and the interest of the cell repair factors that determine a true “self-repair” is thus created.
The “Prolotherapy” is a Real Pain solution without surgery, without drugs, without rest or work disability, suitable for all, men and women, young and old, sportsmen and athletes, for all those people who want to solve the chronic pain problems without resorting to surgery.
He was born in New York on 09/25/1960 and, after graduating in Medicine and Surgery at the University of Bologna, he currently works in the Correggio Hospital (RE). He is the leading expert in Italy in prolotherapy, a discipline that he introduced in our country by bringing it directly from the United States.
He carries out volunteer work with American Doctors of the Hackett Hemwall Association in the “third world” countries 2-3 times a year in particular: Mexico, Honduras and the Philippines. In these locations we offer therapy for chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system through Prolotherapy.
