Guest guest Posted January 10, 2001 Report Share Posted January 10, 2001 Dear , Here is some information I came across: " Prolotherapy is a treatment that stimulates the body to repair painful areas. Patients are given a series of injections at the affected points where ligaments attach to bones. These injections are safe and consist mostly of the simple sugar, dextrose, and an extract of the pitcher plant. The injections have been found to trigger the same natural healing response that normally occurs after an injury: the heightened development of cells called fibroblasts. Fibroblasts produce collagen, a major constituent of connective tissue. " These " connector " fibers are an important part of ligament structure. Healthy ligaments have healthy connective tissues -- especially, healthy collagen fibers that limit themselves to a certain amount of stretch. When the fibers are weakened by health conditions, they lose their ability to prevent further stretch. As a result, ligaments become " loose. " Joints and other ligament-based structures become unstable and, ultimately, very painful. Prolotherapy eliminates or reduces pain by stimulating the body to rebuild ligaments (and tendons) - in other words, by producing stronger, more stable joints that are free of pain. Dr. Hauser explains why other therapies in addition to Prolotherapy are needed by certain patients: " It is as if some patients have lost the ability to heal, a condition I call 'connective tissue deficiency.' This inability to repair connective tissue--the tissues that make up ligaments, tendons, muscles, vertebral discs, and tissue between organs--is thought to underlie the development of many health conditions. " Books: Dr. Hauser, together with n Hauser, have written five books on Prolotherapy. For information about the Hausers' books on Prolotherapy, call 800-RX-PROLO (800-797-7656) or visit the website: www.beulahlandpress.com. ------------------------------------------------------- Best of Health!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Does anyone know how long it takes a ligament to heal? Carl Bonofiglio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 With proper obedience school training, about 4-6 weeks, depending upon which ligament, the condition of the surrounding and associated musculoskeletal structures, the etiology and age of the injury, work/lifestyle/activities of daily living, history of prior injury, nutritional support/drug interactions, phase of the moon, etc, etc. If left to roam around on it's own without supervision it may never learn to heal. BTW - groovy wallpaper, man. Rod , DC Tillamook, OR ligaments Does anyone know how long it takes a ligament to heal? Carl Bonofiglio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
