Knee injuries don’t mean that it’s “GAME OVER”
Many an athlete has retired prematurely because of bad knees
Your knees take a lot of abuse. So much so that some say the design of the knees are flawed because there is no way that they can stand up to the years of wear-and-tear that they go through.
Knee pain and injuries are a significant part of my practice and I see a wide variety of different patients with knee problems. Some are young and have growing pains such as in Osgood-Schlatter’s disease. Others are older and have various degrees of arthritis and degeneration of the knee joint and may be coming to see what can be done naturally to avoid having knee replacement surgery.
Common conditions I see are related to damage or instability of the connective tissues such as the ligaments or the meniscus. Also, repetitive strain injuries from sports cause the development of bursitis or tendonitis in the knee.
The good news is that prolotherapy can effectively treatment the vast majority of these conditions. Prolotherapy is so effective that after courses of successful treatments and healing, I have had several patients who have been able to cancel their previously scheduled knee surgeries.
So before you give up the sports that you enjoy playing or resign yourself to knee surgery, consider prolotherapy as a viable treatment option.
