A sprain , on the other hand, is a stretched or injured ligament . A tendon attaches a muscle to the bone, whereas a ligament attaches bone to bone. Ligament and tendon injuries often do not heal because these structures have very poor blood supplies. This area is called the fibro-osseous junction. Prolotherapy, therefore, stimulates the body to repair the exact site of the painful area.
Most people are shocked when they find out that the body heals by inflammation.
Yes, God made the body to heal by one way only. Inflammation is the process whereby the immune system is activated to help the body restore home-ostasis or balance. Prolotherapy injections cause immune cells to arrive at the injury site to repair it. Once the injured tissues achieve normal strength, the chronic pain is eliminated. Since pain is caused by injured or weakened connective tissue, i.e. ligaments or tendons, Prolotherapy can cure or substantially alleviate most painful conditions because it strengthens the injured areas.
