Prolozone therapy for joints

Posted: Jan 16, 2016

Has anyone had Prolozone therapy for joint pain/arthritis/other? Do you know of anyone who has? Any info would be helpful. I have searched and searched and find a lot of positive reviews but no negatives and find this kind of interesting and hopeful. I'm considering this treatment in lieu of surgery and would appreciate any info you might have so I can make a more educated decision. Thanks so much.

best thing is to keep moving, as much as possible. For the ache that comes afterward, I usually just rest a bit and it's better. Other times I occasionally take a couple Advil. If I'm going to be out all day doing active exercise, and know I'm going to start hurting, I take two Aleve and it really does keep most, if not all of the pain away all day long. Frequently it works to the point where even after exercising, the pain and inflammation doesn't occur, thus saving me from having to take a second dose.

I try to take as little medication as possible, as it's bad for the liver. Keeping the joints warm helps, too. Although I'm not taking any formal yoga class at present, I try to do some gentle, simple yoga poses and stretches after exercising and it helps a lot.

The name of the game is maintaining range of motion.

I had a friend whom I had known for many years. About 10 years or so ago she developed rheumatoid arthritis. Her doctor put her on Enbrel and Humira, both of which were new at the time. She developed some sort of serious pulmonary problem caused directly by those medications. She had to have oxygen right around the clock and finally she passed away. Her physician himself said that it was directly a cause of those medications. That terrible happening made a big impression on me. Like the OP, I do stretching kinds of things and take long walks, etc. I would not take some of these new fangled medications for all the money in the world. I just love it when they advertise on television and (with beautiful music playing in the background the whole time), go on to tell you how this medication may cause death and destruction in your body. You can call me a new age Californian if you want to, but I would rather try treatments closer to nature than ones that are so dangerous. I think that, even if I developed the same illness she had with as much pain as she had, I still would not dare take some of the things they have on TV in the ads. Just me, I guess.

and vitamin injection directed into your joints that supposedly stimulates blood flow and healing to damaged tissues. It's offered by some chiropractors and naturopaths in my area. It's apparently been around for quite some time.

Seriously, if something works, the entire medical profession would be using it. The fact that they aren't should tell you something. It isn't that they have a conspiracy against it, either. It just doesn't work.

Treatments, no matter what kind, can be shown to work for some people. There is a certain amount of beneficial effect that occurs just because you provide a treatment of some kind. I don't want to call it a placebo effect, but it isn't far off. Anytime you stick a needle into someone, or you cut on someone, or you do something else that's disruptive to their system, there's an effect from it and it can sometimes help. In fact, simply believing that something will help goes a long way towards helping. If you don't believe that something will help, it won't help nearly as much.

I don't want to sound like a food faddist, but I had joint pain and other symptoms that looked a lot like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. When I went gluten-free and dairy free six years ago, it all just went away. It comes back if I eat so much as one cheese sandwich.

Not saying that will help you, but if you are considering joint injections, I would think that common sense would tell you to try it first. A lot of people won't though. They prefer to have invasive, painful treatments instead. I don't know why, but there are some people who do.

One of my clients is a pain doctor who has done Prolozone therapy for SOME patients. I asked him about it and he said it's not appropriate in most cases, only in the rarest of cases. When he does do Prolozone, he does it almost exclusively in the elbows and not in the other joints.

I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem. Sometimes my finger joints, knees, wrists, and ankles get so stiff that I cannot move them unless I pop them. Sometimes they hurt extremely bad until I pop them, sometimes no pain, and sometimes they just won't pop. This is something that I have been dealing with for as long as I can remember, so it isn't something that has been caused by the sitting from doing MT or anything like that.

I've had no work so far this morning, so I'm bugging you guys. You know when a doctor dictates "the patient has crepitus" in such and such joint? Pretty much all my joints have crepitus and I've had it almost all my life. How will they know if it's an abnormal finding or not? LOL. ...
