Guide to Prolotherapy for Chronic Pain 

 Living with chronic pain can be physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. It can impact your ability to work, spend time with loved ones, manage daily tasks, and more. 

If you’ve been living with pain that other methods don’t seem to improve, don’t lose hope. Dr. Dillard of Rome, NY, shares below how prolotherapy can help. 

Understanding Chronic Pain 

 The body has the capacity for self-healing. Think about it: every time you get a cut, blood, oxygen, and healing nutrients rush to the area to keep infections at bay and heal the site. Such processes take place throughout the body to help fight injuries and illness. 

What happens, though, when that cut is deep? Typically, you develop a scar. This is because the body is rushing to heal and close up the site, so the skin fibers aren’t forming properly. 

Unfortunately, there are many instances like this in which proper healing cannot take place. At times, it’s because the body is in hyperdrive to protect you. In others, an injury or other factor impedes the natural healing process. This results in unhealed, damaged, and weakened tissue that causes constant pain and discomfort. 

How Prolotherapy Helps 

 Prolotherapy is a type of regenerative technique. During treatment, the target area is injected with a substance that kickstarts the body’s natural healing processes. Through these processes, the damaged tissues are healed and strengthened, which removes the issue that is causing your pain. 

This technique provides many benefits, including natural healing and relief for issues such as: 

• Chronic back pain 
• Chronic neck pain 
• Ligament sprains 
• Arthritis 
• Tendinitis 
• Some types of headaches 
• Fibromyalgia 
• Osteoarthritis 
• Muscle strains 
• Joint instability 
• Sports injuries 

 In most cases, several treatment sessions are required, but they result in lasting relief. Additionally, unlike many other techniques, it requires little or no downtime.
