Inflammation is simply the mechanism by which the body heals, regardless of illness.
While the medical industry continues to search for drugs, devices and surgical procedures to eliminate chronic pain, a therapy introduced over half a century ago is taking root among medical practitioners in the United States. When Koop was forty years old, he was diagnosed in two separate neurological clinics as having incurable pain. It was then that he learned of Prolotherapy, and sought the help of an expert practitioner in the suburbs of Chicago for treatment. He has since utilized Prolotherapy to provide relief from mild recurrences of his condition. Dr. Koop, a pediatric surgeon by profession, watched this practitioner in his clinic and witnessed patients with a myriad of musculoskeletal problems undergo successful treatment.
