Case Study: Cartilage regeneration relieves hip pain

Description:
When Laura first came to Caring Medical, she suffered from severe hip pain, a condition that had started nine years ago as the result of a skiing mishap. Over the years she had tried many different types of treatments, including physical therapy, massage therapy, cortisone shots and large quantities of anti-inflammatory medications. Although all provided some relief, none had a lasting effect, and her pain had actually gotten worse over time. In addition, the range of motion in her hip had become restricted. Laura was definitely ready to try something different.

After confirming the source of Laura’s pain, she received a total of 7 sessions of Prolotherapy to her hip. X-rays confirm the effect of the Prolotherapy treatments on the regeneration of hip cartilage. At the time of the “after” X-ray, Laura was practically pain-free and the range of motion of her hip had improved. No longer on any medications, she does take nutritional supplements for arthritis.
