There are cases where joint replacement or spinal surgery are appropriate. Most of the time Prolotherapy is a better answer to the chronic pain of damaged or diseased joints.
| A Better Answer to Joint Replacement and Back Surgery | |
 | Prolotherapy consists of the injection of a harmless fluid into the affected joint. Nature then takes over as new tissue is formed and the joint is returned to near-normal condition. The success rate is very high with knees, hips, shoulders and backs. If you are a candidate for knee, hip or back surgery, you are probably a candidate for prolotherapy. With Prolotherapy one avoids the inconvenience and recovery- time and the long and sometimes painful physical therapy associated with surgery. One's range-of motion is nearly always better than that achieved from surgery. |
