Re: Re: [RC] Blown ACL - hrsldylory

Sounds like great therapy IF your ligament is still at least partially 
attached.  Once the ligament is severed completely there is no way for it to 
re-attach itself.

Hi, One of my clients sent me you inquiry about prolotherapy. I have used
prolotherapy on both me and my endurance horse with fabulous results.
I decided to try prolo on my mare because everytime I had her
chiropracticed, the stifle joint of her left leg was slightly out. She had a
pasture injury years earlier when she had done a spread eagle move with her
hind end. I figured at that time she probably injured her ligament and site
of attachment to bone(the fibro-osseous junction, its called) around the
stifle and damage to ligaments causes joints to become loose and weak.
Prolotherapy works because it causes ligament and tendon growth, by
injecting a mild irritant ( like dextrose and B12) at the fibro-osseous
junction and /or tendon sites. I had 2 treatments done on her and now when
my chiropractor comes, the stifle joint is always in place. Yea!
I have also been having prolotherapy done on myself and I know many people
who have done the same and we all have had incredible results and alot of
pain relief. There is a book on Prolo out that is very informative! It is
called
"PROLO YOUR PAIN AWAY Curing Chronic Pain With Prolotherapy" by Ross Hauser.
M.D.  If you have trouble locating the book, let me know and I can give you
the phone number of my doctor who has them available.
The interesting thing is this mode of treatment has been around for 50 yrs
and when one western medicine Surgeon was asked why they didn't incorporate
this into their practice, she said she would be out of a job. HA> Hope this
helps. Elfta

Has anyone else heard reports on Prolotherapy, a technique used for weak

but not torn ligaments?   The idea is to inject a concentrated saline into
the ligament, which causes a local reaction.  When that is healed, the
resultant ligament is thicker, but histologically the same as an uninjured
one.
