Platelet-Rich Plasma and Stem Cell-Rich Prolotherapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
Scientific evidence for this minimally invasive procedure’s effectiveness, along with patient selection and condition-specific success stories, are addressed.
Stem Cell Prolotherapy
What if prolotherapy and then platelet rich prolotherapy (PRP) were to fail? What is the next step, short of surgery (if surgery is even an option)? Since the early 1990s there has been an interest in “adult stem cells”—undifferentiated cells that can be isolated from many tissues in all stages of life.1
The History of Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy has been a alternative pain treatment since ancient times. Learn more about the history of prolotherapy, as well as current applications.
Advances in Regenerative Medicine: High-density Platelet-rich Plasma and Stem Cell Prolotherapy For Musculoskeletal Pain
The newest form of prolotherapy, known as stem cell prolotherapy, is used in difficult cases or where accelerated musculoskeletal healing is desired. Read about this chronic pain treatment.
Platelet Rich Plasma Prolotherapy as First-line Treatment for Meniscal Pathology
Animal research together with five patient case reports demonstrate that platelet rich plasma prolotherapy (PRPP) is effective in the treatment of MRI-documented meniscal tears.
The New Age of Prolotherapy
In addition to traditional prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma and stem cells are also available to enhance healing of musculoskeletal injuries and mitigation of pain.
Dextrose Prolotherapy Injections for Chronic Ankle Pain
In this retrospective observational study of chronic unresolved ankle pain, Hackett-Hemwall dextrose prolotherapy helped promote a measurable decrease in the pain and stiffness of the treated joints and improvement in clinically-relevant parameters.
Treating Shoulder Pain in Hemiplegic and Spinal Cord Injured Patients
Article gives an overview of treating shoulder pain in hemiplegic and spinal cord injured patients. Platelet rich plasma in prolotherapy is discussed.
Neural Therapy and Its Role in the Effective Treatment of Chronic Pain
Neural therapy is a powerful treatment that can be quite effective in resolving autonomic nervous system dysfunction and pain, especially in the complex pain patient.
Dextrose Prolotherapy for Unresolved Wrist Pain
This retrospective observational study of patients with unresolved wrist pain noted improvements in many quality of life parameters after Hackett-Hemwall dextrose prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy for Golfing Injuries and Pain
An effective non-surgical treatment option for golf-related injuries, including low back pain, lateral and medial epicondylitis, wrist ligament injuries, shoulder injuries, and other musculoskeletal joint pain.
