Runner's knee - Knee injury treatment

Dr. Ross Hauser, is the Medical Director of Caring Medical & Rehabilitation Services who specializes in Prolotherapy treatment for runner's knee and other sports injuries. In this video he discusses why Prolotherapy is the preferred treatment for runner's knee over knee surgery, such as arthroscopic surgery. Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair, whereas surgery typically involves the removal of tissue which leads to arthritis. Dr. Hauser treats patients from around the world who come to his Chicago Sports Medicine clinic for Prolotherapy.

I live in Phx Az. Is this treatment available there? What is the name of the injection treatment?

[caringmedical]

@vanillahunk Although you might find Prolotherapy doctors across the country, you will want to do your research as to 'how' they perform their treatments. Not all Prolotherapists perform Prolotherapy the way Dr. Hauser does, nor do they have his years of experience. So just be careful. If you want Prolotherapy done the way you see in our videos, then you should come to Caring Medical and see Dr. Hauser. He's the only doctor we can speak for. Call us to make an appointment. 708-848-7789

Injections.... like shots? OH NOES!

[caringmedical]

@KaitlynXBL Our patients would tell you that the injections are far better of a choice than going through a surgery (or two or three). We have a numbing solution we can put on the skin or some patients opt to take some premedications to relax them before the treatment. Typically the patient just feels stiff and sore afterwards. But that subsides after a day or so. If you have a knee problem, we hope you will look into this a bit further. Thanks!

We would suggest a consultation with Dr. Hauser so he can assess your injury and answer your questions. Each case is different, but on average our patients get 3 to 6 treatments, each about 4 to 6 weeks apart. Knee sprains, jumper's knee, and many other knee injuries do great with Prolotherapy. Check out the 'symptoms and conditions' page on the Caring Medical website for more information on your condition and how we would go about treating it. Thank you for commenting.

@pheonix11525 Thanks for your comment. Hackett-Hemwall Prolotherapy is absolutely not cortisone. We've actually written a lot of articles and research papers as to why we do not use cortisone for runner's knee, and many other conditions in which steroid injections are commonly used. Those are on our websites, if you are interested in reading more about the long term effects of cortisone. Sorry to hear about your knee pain. We'd be happy to see you for an appointment.

@xwishmasterx2 I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Can you be more specific?

[xwishmasterx2]

Whay kind of therapy?

[hausermab]

definitely not - we wrote an article about using PRP with Hackett-Hemwall Prolotherapy & why. It's definitely not a first line treatment. Prolotherapy works great for nearly all cases in our caringmedical office. We only use PRP for hard to heal issues.Check out our caringmedical website and google why you need Hackett Hemwall prolotherapy in addition to PRP.

Has PRP now replaced Prolotherapy as a better therapy?
