We are excited to share the newest chapter release - Chapter 23!

This chapter highlights how Prolotherapy is a safer alternative to joint replacement surgery for treating osteoarthritis. Joint replacement and revision surgeries are increasing exponentially, yet they have significant risks, including not resolving the original pain for which they were performed. This scenario is not uncommon in a Prolotherapy clinic, and indicates an underlying joint instability issue that was not addressed by the joint replacement. Most people who sign up for joint replacement surgery have not tried Prolotherapy, which stimulates healing rather than inhibiting it like conventional treatments that typically lead to the need for a joint replacement (NSAIDs, cortisone shots). This chapter discusses who is an ideal Prolotherapy candidate based on joint architecture and range of motion, and when severely altered bone structures require replacement.
