Proliferation Treatment, Prolotherapy and PRP Injections

With surgery, the entire arm may be affected and you may want to inquire about the success rates with surgery. Your arm may be immobilized for quite some time and it can be a long recovery to get back to normal if you are able to achieve this again.

With proliferation, you will only be attacking the affected area and the entire arm will not be affected. The recovery is a much shorter time frame and you may not require all of the follow up that surgery can require. Some folks are turning to PRP and Prolotherapy Injections and in particularly large sports figures are turning to Prolotherapy and PRP.

You may still need some rehabilitation if you use prolotherapy as the joint may not have been properly used for quite some time. You may have to relearn how to properly use this joint if you have been compensating for pain. This is something that you may want to explore and using the joint correctly may help to prevent problems in the future. It still shocks me to realize really how few doctors know about prolotherapy and Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy which is perhaps better known as PRP. As mentioned earlier though, a lot of sports stars are well aware of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and in fact are using it with good results.

You may also want to look at the many exercises you can use to keep the joint strong after prolotherapy. It can be very easy to overuse the joint and you may want to think about the long term and begin to use this joint with a little more TLC then you may have in the past.
