Regenerative non-surgical therapy in post-traumatic knee lesion of the medial

collateral ligament using a natural regenerative solution (Prolotherapy)

Stephen Cavallino

European School of Prolotherapy, Italy

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

how we 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 – Board Certified in Emergency Medicine in Italy. I have been involved in regenerative medicine for more than 20

years. I am now the Director of the European School of Prolotherapy in italy. I participate in many different voluntary Prolotherapy

Missions worldwide. My time is focused on helping people that have MSK problems and their pain by understand the cause of pain

and treating the structure in orthopedic medicine to improve their quality of life. I am a member of the Hackett Hemwall Patterson

Foundation (HHPF) in Wisconsin, USA and I am the Vice-President of the Italian Association of Prolotherapy (SIPRO) since 2003.

Prolotherapy has grown now throughout Europe because I dedicated many years of teaching prolotherapy with the help of many clinical

instructors from the SIPRO and HHPF. Currently I am a Clinical Instructor for Prolotherapy and Neuroprolotherapy (Perineural Injection

Treatment).
