Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a method of injection treatment designed to stimulate healing. Various natural irritant solutions are injected into the ligaments, tendons, and joints to encourage repair of damaged tissue. An important underlying premise of prolotherapy is that chronic musculoskeletal pain following injury is secondary to inadequate repair of fibrous tissue and because of limited vascular supply to injured ligaments and tendons, complete healing is uncertain. With prolotherapy you are causing the body to heal itself and regenerate fibrous tissue.
Stem Cell Therapy / Regenerative Therapy
Amniotic stem cell treatment is a cellular soup rich in growth factors and cytokines that stimulate the body’s ability to repair itself. With amniotic stem cell therapy, the physician injects stem cells from amniotic tissues into the area of concern once a complete history, physical exam, and imaging has been completed. These stem cells are anti-inflammatory, tissue protective, tissue regenerators, lubricating, and antimicrobial.
While injection and use of cortisone and other drugs only provide temporary pain relief, stem cells actually restore degenerated tissue while providing long-term relief.
Patients suffering from any kind of joint, tendon, or ligament pain, as well as severe degenerative osteoarthritis are good candidates for prolo and stem cell therapies.
