Abstract :

Prolotherapy 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 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).
