With Prolotherapy treatment, the healing mechanism is stimulated and a pain treatment is applied without surgery. This treatment is known as non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction or regeneration therapy. It stimulates the body's natural mechanism to treat injured muscle and skeletal tissues.
An injection method is used to provide stimulation while applying prolotherapy. Prolotherapy was invented by Dr. Aiming to treat himself. It dates back to Earl Gedney, 1930s. The doctor, aiming to treat the pain in his thumb, started the hernia treatment by being influenced by a group of scientists who tried to treat the hernia by creating an infection. This process continued by treating patients with knee pain and low back pain with prolotherapy.
WHAT DISEASES IS PROLOTHERAPY APPLIED IN THE TREATMENT?
Various solutions can be used to trigger healing in prolotherapy. . In today's medicine, serum containing sugar is used to trigger this trigger.
This treatment is a method used by physicians in our country and modern countries around the world.
If we look at the conditions that can be treated with the Prolotherapy method;
Tennis Elbow
Waist, neck, knee, shoulder, ankle pain
Ligament injuries
Heel spur
Muscle skeletal system diseases
Various hernia conditions
Sports injuries
calcifications
neck-related headaches
MECHANISM OF PROLOTHERAPY EFFECT?
Prolotherapy activates the main cells of the connective tissue (fibroblasts) by creating temporary and low-level inflammation in the injection area, synthesizing the precursors for the maturation of collagen and thus the formation of connective tissue. It is scientifically proven that direct exposure of the main cells of the connective tissue to growth factors causes cell renewal and collagen synthesis. Inflammation causes growth factor to increase. Prolotherapy's inflammatory stimulus elevates the level of growth factors to maintain or initiate a new cascade of connective tissue repair that was prematurely interrupted or never initiated.
