[QUOTE=kwaichang;1204402]I may be a Nutritionist as well as PT for all you know, I wouldnt suggest something If I thought the guy was a Moron and didnt do his own research which he is. There are few if any allergic reactions to Minerals and none to Vitamin C That I have found research on . Vinegar maybe but very unlikely. I appologize but your critique of my English is rude and uncalled for. We have 2 different views of this problem and that in my opinion is a good thing. But to be overly critical is a fault in my opinion and slows learning. Any way Iron Fist look the number up of Corley and Kelsey and mention the name Doug Feick pronounced FIKE They may just tell you something over the phone that might help. KC[/QUOTE]
I emailed him. He suggested a prolotherapy doctor.
Anyone know anything about that? It seems to be mentioned a lot online but I can’t find any info about it other than doctors offering it or people joining forums to say “holy cow it cured me when nothing else did” and never posting again.
I would like to learn more.
Prolo
a very safe modality that uses sterile Glucose laden H2O that causes a localized inflammatory response that promotes the production of cellular healing components in the area. Very effective for ligament , labral tears etc. as well as knee and tendon problems helps with stability of SI joints. There is a good one in Nashville named Johnson and a good one in Austin as well , I cant remember his name. Call them and see what they think PM me ur phone # I can talk better than I can type KC
I understand the theory, I just want to know if actually works or if it’s like, you know, color light therapy or whatever (where they shine different colored light bulbs on you and it cures you).
My tendons and ligaments are fine. Does it work on cartilage? What if there isn’t much cartilage left?
The place by me in Chicago can add platelet rich plasma or stem cells to the prolotherapy (increases the cost). Can regular prolotherapy regenerate cartilage or are stem cells required?
It may work there are some studies promoting the use of stem cells with it but I am still out on that one. I do know it is not Voodoo , and works. KC
Btw
There is a possibility that your capsule or tendons or ligaments are what is causing the pain , many people have artritis and have no pain, and often there are young people with arthritis that have no pain. Therefore it may not be the joint itself that is causing the pain. Just a thought. KC
