As the weather changes, so do most peoples activity levels. The
combination of decreased physical activity and colder temperatures usually
results in joint pain.
Joint pain is very common and for most people dealing with the symptoms is
as easy as popping a couple painkillers which provides only temporary
relief. The pain tends to come back within a couple hours. And although
painkillers are a quick fix for most people they can have a multitude of
negative side effects, such as dependency, creating a vitamin deficiency
and stomach problems. For others dealing with joint pain, the discomfort
is so constant, that they have just accepted the pain as being apart of
their day-to-day lives. In a lot of cases patients are only given two
options, surgery or medication. Surgery may not be suitable for every
injury and it may have extensive post-surgery down time.
An extremely effective procedure that is gaining popularity is
Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy, is a method consisting of a series of
injections designed to stimulate the healing process in the body. Prolotherapy is
used for many types of musculoskeletal conditions throughout the body. The
solution injected creates a slight irritation if the injured site. This
stimulation promotes natural healing by repairing the damaged tissue and
the growth of new tissue. It is simple, quick and it can have amazing
results. It treats the common strains and sprains, tears of ligaments and
tendons. For patients with chronic degenerative joints, muscle trigger
points, and sluggish wound healing this is an option to turn on the body’s
natural healing and repair system. This treatment is preventative,
reparative and it has tremendous clinical results.
