Prolotherapy is beneficial for neck injuries and headaches that originate from the neck.

Some of the most common causes of neck injuries are whiplash, degenerative disease (arthritis) of the cervical spine, athletic injuries and repetitive motion disorders.

Long hours working at a computer may cause chronic neck problems and devastating headaches that occur behind the eye or at the back of the head. These neck problems and the headaches associated with them can be successfully treated with Prolotherapy. Even if degenerative disease (arthritis) is present, Prolotherapy in the neck can significantly improve lingering problems.

In the instances when neck discomfort is caused by a disc or nerve injury, patients are referred for microsurgery or Intradiscal Prolotherapy.

Low back injuries and diseases are one of the most common health problems. Fortunately, Prolotherapy has been very successful in treating these problems.

Common causes of chronic low back problems are unresolved sprains and strains from work, "weekend warrior" activities, sports, car accidents, falls, bending or twisting injuries, degeneration after lumbar spine surgeries, and age-related "arthritis". A routinely overlooked source of low back problems stems from the hip and is often confused with sacroiliac, disc or facet injuries. Neurology and Pain Treatment Center aims to identify all sources of low back problems at treat them individually.

Arthritis is a common term for degenerative joint disease. In its very advanced form, joint replacement surgery is the standard of care.

However, many patients have degenerative problems and hurt immensely at the earlier stages of arthritis when surgery is not yet necessary. Prolotherapy on the other hand can be very effective at these stages. Some patients have had difficulties after knee or hip surgery and are trying to avoid another surgery and others simply had surgery and are still having problems. Prolotherapy has been found to be very helpful in all of these instances.

The reason for limited use of Prolotherapy in treating arthritis is that the insurance companies simply refuse to recognize the effectiveness and benefits of Prolotherapy. Call Neurology and Pain Treatment Center to see how we can help you.

Chronic hip problems are very common and in cases of severely advanced degenerative joint disease, hip replacement surgery may be a helpful treatment.

However, hip surgery may not be the appropriate treatment when hip discomfort and pain is severe but degenerative changes are minimal or moderate. In these cases Prolotherapy can cure and/or improve the problems, stabilize the hip and significantly increase functional activities. Prolotherapy for hip treatment involves injections to the hip joint, tendons and often the sacroiliac joint and its ligaments.

Platelet Rich Plasma injections may offer you another very effective treatment to regain mobility while reducing discomfort.

The knee is the largest joint in the body. We have all heard about professional athletes who injure their ACL, MCL or other various knee ligaments or tendons around the joint. These knee injuries can happen to anyone and often Prolotherapy is the solution.

In some cases, knee injuries heal by themselves given adequate time, and other times, seemingly small injuries fail to heal on their own. This may lead to tendinosis or ligamentosis, which are degenerative changes in ligaments and tendons around and inside the knee joint. This is when Prolotherapy treatment can help the most. If not treated in a timely manner, these problems usually deteriorate leading to faster break down, causing degenerative joint diseases that affect both the inside and outside structures of the knee joint. In very advanced severe instances, knee replacement surgery could be your only option.

Fortunately, Prolotherapy or Platelet Rich Plasma injections may offer you another very effective treatment to regain mobility without discomfort and so you can return to your normal lifestyle. Call Neurology and Pain Treatment Center to see how we can help you.

The most common shoulder problems are a small tear in any muscle or ligament around the joint. The most known cause of shoulder problems is a small tear in the tendons of the rotator cuff. When this tear does not heal, it leads to degeneration which causes nerves to grow in to these areas creating a problem called tendinosis. Complete rotator cuff tears may need surgery but small tears and degenerative changes have been successfully treated with Prolotherapy. In advanced cases or those that do not respond to standard solutions, Platelet Rich Plasma can be effectively used.

These and many other distressful shoulder issues can be treated with Prolotherapy. Call Neurology and Pain Treatment Center to see how we can help you.

If you are one of the approximately 11 million people in the US who suffer from Temporomandibular Joint Disease, you are surely familiar with the clicking and grinding of the jaw, headaches, facial discomfort and even the difficulty eating or talking associated with TMJ disease.

As early as 1937, Dr. Schultz a dentist from Chicago described a simple, reliable and effective injection treatment for TMJ disease after positive experimental and clinical research. Today, this treatment for TMJ is known as Prolotherapy.

Neurology and Pain Treatment Center can help you join the thousands of patients successfully treated by this time-proven method of Prolotherapy. If you would like to learn more about Prolotherapy for TMJ, please call Neurology and Pain Treatment Center to see how we can help you.

Fibromyalgia is a medical term for muscle pain. The condition is characterized by long-term, body-wide muscle pain and tender points.

Many patients come to Neurology and Pain Treatment Center with the diagnosis of fibromyalgia but careful examination usually reveals that they have both muscle soreness and tenderness at the origins and insertions of many muscles, most commonly located in the upper back and neck. When tenderness at the origins and insertions of muscles is treated with Prolotherapy it significantly relieves the fibromyalgia symptoms.

Neurology and Pain Treatment Center has treated many patients with fibromyalgia and their condition has significantly improved after several courses of Prolotherapy. Complete cure is rare but the good news is that 3 to 4 Prolotherapy series per year make patients comfortable enough to carry on with their daily activities.

Sacroiliac joint and sciatica are some of the most common problems treated at Neurology and Pain Treatment Center.

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and instability is rarely a singular problem involving the sacroiliac joint alone. Steroid shots, which are placed inside the joint through the use of x-ray, usually work for a short period of time. Radiofrequency, another method of treating sacroiliac joints that was also recently introduced, heats the nerves outside the joint to cure the problems within the joint. However, if the problem is within this joint, why burn the nerves outside that joint and expect it to be cured?

Both of the above treatments are practiced by many, but accurate diagnosis, skillful manipulation and stabilization of a loose sacroiliac joint, including the other components related to this puzzle, is performed by few. Nearly 85% of Prolotherapy patients achieve stabilization of the joint and greatly improve function after Prolotherapy. This is because all the components of the patient's problems are methodically investigated and properly addressed. If you are reading this material other methods have likely failed to treat your sacroiliac.

Many patients experiencing mid-back or thoracic area problems have been treated effectively with Prolotherapy.

Some statistical data says that thoracic problems are not as common as neck or low back problems; however, at Neurology and Pain Treatment Center almost every patient with neck problems has a significant amount of thoracic discomfort as well. These problems co-exist and complicate one another and usually require simultaneous treatment.

Middle back problems can be caused by various factors including poor body posture while driving or working at the computer, strenuous sports activity, or car accidents. Some complicating factors are scoliosis, large natural breasts, breast enlargement surgery, surgery of the thoracic spine utilizing metal rods and surgery for cervical or lumbar disc with fusion. Many patients with these problems had significant relief after Prolotherapy.

The most common causes of thoracic problems are ligaments and tendons, facet and costotransverse joints (joints between the rib and transverse process of the thoracic vertebrae). All these areas are usually addressed during treatment and improve after a Prolotherapy regimen of six to eight series spaced three to six weeks apart.

Patients suffering tennis or golfers elbow can be treated with Prolotherapy. Recent scientific studies prove that these conditions are degenerative in nature and represent tendinosis. Chronic tendinosis at the elbow that did not respond to steroid injection or physical therapy should be treated with Prolotherapy.

Other areas successfully treated at the elbows are triceps tendinosis and strains of annular, radial and ulnar collateral ligaments. Three to four sessions of Prolotherapy are usually required. In persistent cases, Platelet Rich Plasma may be used.

The wrist and hand are very complex structures with many bones, ligaments, muscles and tendons. Problems may arise from any of these areas and often from several of them. Ligament or tendon damage diagnosed through MRI does not always correlate with the patient's problem. Often several Prolotherapy injections to most tender areas resolve the problems.
