Myofascial TherapyProlotherapy is an injection technique that can stimulate ligaments, joint capsules, and injured skeletal tendons to re-grow or repair themselves. Tissue stimulants are injected, which can cause the release of intracellular growth factors that lead to tissue repair and new collagen growth. The way in which the technique works is similar to the repair that would occur naturally in response to a bodily injury such as the healing of broken skin or bone.

Prolotherapy treatment has been scientifically and clinically proven effective. Ligaments can weaken, causing a condition similar to a "loose shoe lace," in which support to the joint becomes severely weakened, leading to pain, arthritis, and joint damage. The overwhelming importance of this treatment is that it can permanently reverse many chronic conditions.

Dr. Magaziner believes in the use of prolotherapy if and when other, more conservative treatments have proven ineffective. This treatment is safe, and it carries a success rate of over 85% in the already chronic population. Prolotherapy can be effective for a wide variety of conditions, some of which follow:

• Cervical sprains, strains, whiplash
• Cervical arthritis
• Thoracic sprains, strains, scoliosis
• Costochondritis
• Lumbar sprains and strains
• Sacral iliac sprains
• Hip joint pain, tendonitis
• Knee pain, arthritis, strains
• Ankle sprains, tendonitis, arthritis
• Plantar fascitis
• TMJ sprains
• Shoulder, AC sprain, instability
• Elbow pain, epicendylitis
• Wrist pain, sprain, instability
• Thumb / finger pain, arthritis
• Chronic tendonitis anywhere, including at the knee and heel
