HOW CAN PROLOTHERAPY HELP ME?
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.
