Regenerative non-surgical therapy in post-traumatic knee lesion of the medial
collateral ligament using a natural regenerative solution (Prolotherapy)
P
rolotherapy is a non-surgical injection therapy in regeneration medicine. Any acute trauma to the knee ligaments in the acute
phase need rest and immobilization. The healing curve can improve dramatically using Prolotherapy. All weak ligaments in
the chronic healing face may not heal well and cause a secondary weak joint. This can become a chronic pain syndrome because
there is a less functional knee joint. Prolotherapy to the damaged connective tissue can accelerate healing and blood supply to
regenerate the damaged tissue and increase the joint function. The objective in
this presentation is to show how important it is to understand why joints become
degenerative caused by weak ligaments and howwe can correct this degenerative
process by treating the connective tissues to strengthen the ligaments. The
ligaments are the structure that have been forgotten and are so important in joint
stability. Once the ligaments are treated with prolotherapy injection therapy
using dextrose, the bio-tensegrity of the joint will function better. In conclusion,
prolotherapy is a very safe, effective and easy treatment to improve the joint
function, reduce pain, avoid surgery and to give the patient a better quality of life.
Biography
Stephen Cavallino have been Board Certified in Emergency Medicine in Italy. He has been involved in regenerative medicine for more than
20 years. He is now the Director of the European School of Prolotherapy in Italy. He has participated in many different voluntary Prolotherapy
Missions worldwide. He is a member of the Hackett Hemwall Patterson Foundation (HHPF) in Wisconsin, USA and Vice-President of
the Italian Association of Prolotherapy (SIPRO) since 2003. Prolotherapy has grown now throughout Europe because he dedicated many
years of teaching prolotherapy with the help of many clinical instructors from the SIPRO and HHPF. Currently, he is a Clinical Instructor for
Prolotherapy and Neuroprolotherapy (Perineural Injection Treatment).
