I had ACL surgery done couple years ago and my knee went out several times after surgery, while playing basketball, which stretched my ACL. I am still very active and I play sports but I have to wear custom brace since there is a big chance that my knee will go out again. Anyways, I want to ask you if this treatment would help with Tightening up mu ACL or not?
@bojant21 Yes, this type of injury is exactly what Prolotherapy is designed for. We treat a lot of loose knee ligaments and ACL tears. When you have instability of the joint/ligament laxity, Prolo is what helps the body repair and tighten the ligament laxity. If you want to contact us directly about your case, please do. We wish you the best. Take care for now.
@caringmedical That awesome but I dont understand why wouldnt my surgeon tell me about this after i stretch my ACL. I even asked if there is such a thing and he told me no and that I have to get it reconstructed again if I want it to be tighter again. I live in south Dakota and also in Rockford Illinois. Can this be done anywhere or I have to contact you guys?
@bojant21 Prolo is a specialty, so just as the surgeon has his specialty, so does the Prolotherapy doctor. In cases of partial tears/stretches, a Prolotherapy consult is more suitable. : ) We treat patients who travel here from all over the world due to the technique Dr. Hauser uses and how long we've been doing it, and we'd be happy to see you. Thanks again for your interest in Prolo. Feel free to write us directly with any other specific questions about your case.
@MultifunctionalMe Good luck with your treatment. We use a variety of methods to try and dull the pain, such as a lidocaine cream or sometimes the patient will take a pain killer before the treatment. But most people can deal with getting the Prolo injections much better than they thought. One plus is that Dr. Hauser is very fast, so the treatment is over before too long. We are happy to discuss more options with you when you're here for your appointment.
@zjaz10 Thanks for your questions, and yes, Prolotherapy can be done on any joint including the toes. We often treat big toe/bunion pain- works great. As far as the knee, the reason cartilage becomes degenerated starts with ligament instability. Correct the ligament issue, and the cartilage can regenerate. We use Prolo because it actually corrects the genesis of the problem.

Oh this is only for ligaments? What about cartilage in between joints? and how often do you need to do this?
