Abstract
|
|
|
Prolotherapy, the technology for strengthening lax ligaments, has found increased acceptance in recent years. Prolotherapy involves the injection of the irritant solutions into the weakened or stretched ligaments which are a source of chronic pain.
This induces an inflammatory response which mimics the normal repair sequence.
Various musculoskeletal disorders of lower extremities such as degenerative arthrtitis, ligament and tendon injuries can be treated with prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy is a very good, powerful nonsurgical conservative treatment in various musculoskeletal disorders.
Ultrasound exam is very useful to find and confirm the exact location of disorders and check the progress in prolotherapy practices.
