Treatment of Runners Knee:

Alternative treatment for Runner’s Knee at Caring Medical:
We recommend MEAT - which stands for Movement, Exercise, Analgesia (natural pain medications), and treatment (such as Prolotherapy). Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair the injury – in this case, the knee cartilage and surrounding knee ligaments. Malalignment problems can also be corrected with Prolotherapy. We also prescribe proper exercise regimes, analyze gait/running style, and also discuss proper nutrition/supplements for maximum healing.

Proof that Prolotherapy works for runner’s knee: Ross and Marion Hauser have published a number of research papers on curing knee pain, like that of runner’s knee. In the Journal of Prolotherapy. 2009;1:11-21, in an article entitled,A Retrospective Study on Dextrose Prolotherapy for Unresolved Knee Pain at an Outpatient Charity Clinic in Rural IL, the results of this study showed that patients had a statistically significant decline in their levels of pain, stiffness, crunching sensation, and improvement in their range of motion with Prolotherapy. More than 82% showed improvements in walking ability, medication usage, athletic ability, anxiety, depression, and overall disability with Prolotherapy. Ninety-six percent of patients felt Prolotherapy improved their life overall. Conclusion: In this study, patients with unresolved knee pain, treated with dextrose Prolotherapy, showed improvements in many clinically relevant parameters and overall quality of life.
