Thanks to modern medical applications and advanced imaging techniques, it is possible to make a faster and more accurate diagnosis and to intervene in the patient early. This situation, which provides high survival rates in acute and life-threatening situations, may mislead the physician in chronic processes and delay the recovery of the patient.
Musculoskeletal system; It consists of bones, joints between bones and discs, ligaments that hold joints together, and tendons, which are the attachment sites of muscles to bones. These connective tissue elements are damaged by large and small traumas and repetitive simple movements from a young age. Articular cartilage wears away, discs degenerate, ligaments become loose and tendons are damaged. All these processes are manifested by increasing pain. As a result, joint calcification, meniscus tear, waist and neck hernia, chronic headache, etc. tables occur. Two major mistakes that the physician who diagnoses the patient with radiological examinations will fall into is to prescribe painkillers and direct the patient to surgery. The patient with chronic pain will not benefit from the painkillers prescribed or the surgery for a long time.
Painkillers are the most commonly prescribed drug group today. These drugs, whose side effects have been defined on many organs from bone marrow to kidneys, from liver to articular cartilage, are not very successful in the treatment of chronic pain.
Correcting the “picture” seen on MRI or X-ray does not always mean that the patient’s complaints will go away. Surgical removal of the hernia in the spine may not relieve the pain or may provide a short-term improvement. Replacing the calcified joint with a prosthesis, even if it provides pain relief, causes limitation of motion of the joint with prosthesis; It is not possible to fold or collapse the prosthetic joint.
The treatment to be chosen should be easy to apply, high in effectiveness and permanent, and have a low risk of side effects. Is it possible to “ideal treatment” that will not affect the daily activities of the patient, will not require rest, and can provide a permanent improvement?..
IT IS POSSIBLE TO PERMANENTLY RELIEF FROM PAIN WITH PROLOTHERAPY..
Such as ligaments, tendons and joints In cases where the connective tissue elements are damaged, the process of stimulating the wound healing mechanisms with the injection of proliferating solution, repairing and reshaping the tissues in this way is called prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy is a treatment method that provides natural healing. Tissue damage that causes painful conditions can be permanently treated with prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy is the most successful in cases where the healing of tendon and ligament problems after trauma is not sufficient and causes chronic pain.
The purpose of prolotherapy is to stimulate these damaged joints, tendons and ligaments with proliferating solutions to regenerate and reshape.
Prolotherapy treatment is an injection method that is tailored to the individual and applied in 15-30 day periods. The injected liquid is not a chemical substance, drug or steroid (cortisone, etc.); A combination of concentrated dextrose and diluted local anesthetic is used. It is ensured that the tissue is reconstructed in its original form in a natural way. One of the most striking aspects of the prolotherapy method is that there is no physical restriction during the treatment and it does not require rest. On the contrary, stretching and strengthening exercises and movements aimed at improving joint range of motion are applied to patients as a complement to prolotherapy treatment.
