A double-blinded study done at the University of Iowa used normal rabbit knee ligaments and showed that repeated injections of Prolotherapy significantly increased the mass of the ligaments by 44 percent above normal, the thickness by 27 percent, and the ligament-bone junction strength by 28 percent. ((Liu, Y. et al. An in situ study of the influence of a sclerosing solution in rabbit medial collateral ligaments and its junction strength. Connective Tissue Research. 1983; 11:95-102.) A similar study done on rabbit tendons obtained similar results in only six weeks. (Maynard, JA et al. Morphological and biochemical effects of sodium morrhuate on tendons. Journal of Orthopaedic Research. 1985; 3(2):236-248.) Imagine what it would mean to an athlete to have a stronger ligaments than before the tear?

Prolotherapy gets at the root cause of sports injuries, namely ligament and tendon injury, and it does so without the need for ordering a lot of tests like MRIs which often lead athletes to receiving treatments like arthroscopies and surgeries that are unnecessary. Prolotherapy is a safe, gentle, natural healing technique that is inexpensive. It can help heal sports injuries and cause the ligaments and tendons to be even stronger than they were before they were injured. Even athletes who have had surgery can receive Prolotherapy to the surgical site. Athletes who have been out of athletics for years are being revived because of Prolotherapy. Since unhealed sports injuries can lead to arthritis, Prolotherapy can help stop athletes from ever getting traumatic arthritis. Even if some arthritis has already formed, Prolotherapy can strengthen the arthritic area and help eliminate the pain. By stimulating the body to heal the painful area with Prolotherapy, many athletes are avoiding unneeded surgeries. Because Prolotherapy eliminates the cause of sports injuries, an athlete's pain is eliminated. Thus, many athletes are extending their careers with Prolotherapy. The athletes are having their joints, ligaments, and tendons made stronger with Prolotherapy. It is for these reasons that athletes are choosing to cure their sports injury pain and enhance their athletic performances with Prolotherapy.
