Dr. Ruchika Khanna, Dr. Anand Kumar, Dr. Nisha Dua
Abstract :
The most commonly reported chronic pain conditions are corresponding with musculoskeletal dysfunction and degeneration. The most important cause of joint instability is the ligament injury, which leads to symptoms like pain. However, standard therapeutic regimens have failed to be effective in chronic conditions as they do not treat the under lying cause. Hence, this is where prolotherapy comes into picture. Prolotherapy is also known as nonsurgical ligament/tendon reconstruction, or sclerotherapy. The ligaments and tendon become weak over a course of time which leads to inflammation. Prolotherapy by using a sugar based solution is injected into the affected area whereby it causes increase in the blood supply and nutrients which stimulate the tissue repair. Through this review we are trying to highlight that prolotherapy can be regarded as an alternative therapeutic modality that can reduce or eliminate pain by stimulating the natural regenerative processes.
