	Prolotherapy Pain: It Is Not an Ibuprofen Deficiency Pain: An Indication of a Problem Chronic Pain: Look for Ligament and Tendon Relaxation Strain Versus Sprain: What is the Difference? Prolotherapy Stimulates the Normal Healing Inflammatory Reaction Prolotherapy Your Pain Away! Prolotherapy Your Arthritis Pain Away! Connective Tissue Healing Involves Many Factors

Pain, in many respects, is a God-given gift. A gift you say? Yes, pain alerts the body of a problem. Simply put, pain is due to weakness. Pain in the lower back, for example, indicates that some structure in the lower back is weak and needs to be strengthened. This is why suppressing the symptoms of pain with NSAIDs, cortisone shots, or allowing a surgeon to scrape away meniscal or cartilage tissue with an arthroscope is dangerous. If the condition causing the pain is not stopped, the underlying degenerative process will continue. If left unchecked, systemic connective tissue deficiency leading to multiple areas of ligament and tendon relaxation will occur.
