Osgood-Schlatter is a condition whereby a young person, typically a teenager, and often the teenager is involved in sports, they get an injury where the quadriceps tendon or quadriceps ligament attaches to the tibial tubercle. So they basically get pain in the front of the knee. I have been using Prolotherapy in the treatment of Osgood-Schlatter since the mid 1990’s and it works spectacular. Recently there had been a double blind study that showed that dextrose Prolotherapy caused a significant amount of pain reduction and healing with Osgood-Schlatter. Prolotherapy, by stimulating the repair of where the quadriceps ligament and tendon attaches to the tibial tubercle, it causes that tendon or ligament to strengthen. Once the tendon becomes normal strength, the athlete can go back to all their normal activities. Prolotherapy for Osgood-Schlatter, in my experience, gets the athlete back many weeks, even months, before standard physical therapy would. Young athletes love to get Prolotherapy for Osgood-Schlatter because it gets them back on the court and back in the game quicker.
