Prolotherapy Treatment and How it Helps People
The other name for prolotherapy is nonsurgical ligament reconstruction and it is being used to help cure chronic pain. A lot of people are curious about this kind of treatment and are dying to know if it really can do what it promises.
Prolotherapy is very handy when it comes to different kinds of pains experienced in the muscles and bones of the back and neck area, injuries resulting from playing sports, people with carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyaglia, chronic tendonitis, herniated or degenerated discs, sciatica, TMJ, and partially torn tendons, ligaments and cartilages.
So, you still do not understand what prolotherapy is, right? For one, the word “prolo” actually means to proliferate, grow or form and this meaning is very much appropriate for what the treatment does and that is to help mew ligament tissues form as a replacement of the weaker old ones.
Ligaments are what holds the bones to the joints. Since they are elastic, they are usually weak, easily injured and may not easily go back to its original vitality. The reason for this is because the blood flowing to the ligaments is slow, thus the healing is quite slow. Aside from this problem, ligaments are have a lot of nerve endings that is why the slightest damage could cause unbearable pain.
