Neck (video here)</strong>\r\n<h4>Prolotherapy Neck Treatment for Pain and Headaches</h4>\r\nOur Prolotherapy neck treatment can help people like you with head and neck pain that can completely keep an athlete from participating in sports. If you are a cyclist, the riding position can be too painful to maintain for long distances. In cases of contact sport trauma, a hit to the head or neck can loosen the ligaments in the neck which hold the vertebrae together. This can lead to neck instability and chronic headaches.\r\n\r\nMost patients try to self-treat with NSAID medications (Ibuprofen, Naproxen). Those drugs eventually become ineffective and often a patient seeks even stronger prescription medications, nerve blocks or an MRI is taken and surgery is recommended. There is an alternative to cervical fusion for chronic neck pain and headaches by using comprehensive <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> neck treatment at OrthoRegen.\r\n<h4>Prolotherapy Neck Treatment by Peter A Fields, MD DC</h4>\r\nDr. Fields, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Our-Office/The-Athletic-Doc\">The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></a>, has treated athletes at all levels of sport, Olympic hopefuls to weekend warriors, Ironman competitors to student athletes.

You can get back to your training and competitions without surgery, without medications, and without extended time away from your sport.\r\n\r\nIn our experience, a comprehensive Prolotherapy next treatment and Natural Medicine program is the preferred way to treat neck pain and headaches for optimal long term results.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Some of the most common neck and head injuries we treat with comprehensive Prolotherapy neck treatment are:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Atypical facial pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Barre-Lieou Syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Cervical instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Jaw pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Migraine headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>Muscle contraction headache</li>\r\n 	<li>Neck arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>Neck pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Post cervical fusion pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Post-surgical neck pain</li>\r\n 	<li>TMJ syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Whiplash</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nDr. Fields and our staff at OrthoRegen offer traditional Dextrose Prolotherapy neck treatment, as well as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Cellular-Regeneration\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a>.

Headaches &amp; Shoulder</strong></div>\r\n<h4>Shoulder Injury Treatment</h4>\r\nAt OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, shoulder injury is one of the most common areas we treat with comprehensive <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Regenerative Orthopedics</a>. A shoulder injury is common in nearly every sport from swimming to football to martial arts. In our experience, comprehensive regenerative shoulder treatment can correct the root cause of your shoulder injury without surgery, pain medications, or extended time from your sport. We have treated all types of painful shoulder injuries. Whether you are an Olympic hopeful or a weekend warrior, we can help you!\r\n\r\nOur experience has shown that a comprehensive treatment program is a preferred way to treat shoulder pain for optimal long-term results. Peter A. Fields, MD, DC,  <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/the-athletic-doc/about-the-athletic-doc/ \">The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup></a>, as a Triathlete, marathoner, long-distance cyclist, and swimmer, understands your desire to return to full participation in your training and competition.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_4812\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4812\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Slide17-500x375.jpeg\" alt=\"Slide17\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /> <strong>               Stem Cell Therapy Effective for Rotator Cuff Injury</strong>[/caption]\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h3>Rotator Cuff Shoulder Injury Can Be Successfully Treated with Stem Cell Therapy</h3>\r\nEven if your shoulder injury involves the rotator cuff, Regenerative Orthopedics can help. Surgery is often the go-to treatment. But unfortunately, despite improved surgical techniques, the tendon-to-bone healing rate is unsatisfactory. However, treatments like Stem Cell Therapy have been shown in studies to be promising reparative treatments.1   Stem cell therapy is thus a potentially effective therapy to enhance rotator cuff healing.\r\n<h3><strong>Some of the most common shoulder injuries and shoulder pain we treat with comprehensive Prolotherapy shoulder treatments at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> are:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Acromioclavicular joint arthrosis</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Dislocation</li>\r\n 	<li>Frozen shoulder</li>\r\n 	<li>Glenoid labrum tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Labral tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Multi-directional instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder dislocation</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder separation</li>\r\n 	<li>SLAP lesion</li>\r\n 	<li>Subluxation</li>\r\n 	<li>Swimmers shoulder</li>\r\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Tendonosis</li>\r\n 	<li>Torn labrum</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics?</h4>\r\nPeter A. Fields, MD, DC and our staff at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> offer traditional Dextrose Prolotherapy shoulder treatment, as well as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a>.

They want to get back to doing the activities they love. And Regenerative Orthopedics is an effective repair and a great alternative to risky surgery! Also, since back injury is another common reason our patients say they have had to stop participation in sports, this non-surgical option is a clear solution to return them quickly to their sport.\r\n<div class=\"youtube-click-div video_left\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"Hp4lUuSalOE\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Wilbur-Shoulder.jpg\" alt=\"Wilbur – Low Back\"]\r\n<strong>Wilbur - Low Back</strong></div>\r\n<h3>What Is Behind Back Pain</h3>\r\nBack pain is one of the leading causes of disability. But what is the reason for back pain? Very often, the culprit behind back pain is spinal instability. Many of the traditional treatments for back pain are not able to repair this root cause behind the pain. For example, back pain sufferers often try NSAID medications (like Ibuprofen or Naproxen), or even nerve blocks to get rid of their pain. But they don\'t find lasting relief. That\'s because these medications only cover up the pain. They don\'t really repair anything.\r\n\r\nCortisone injections, prescribed pain pills, and muscle relaxers only cover up the pain. Meanwhile,  the degeneration continues, and patients end up getting stuck in a cycle of managing their pain. This is because they are only treating the symptoms versus correcting the underlying spinal instability. Comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedics can stop this cycle by regenerating the weakened and overstretched soft tissue structures along the spine. The result? The treatments alleviate the pain and instability once and for all.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics treats back pain quickly and safely and gives a more desirable pain-relief outcome. Do you want to get off the back pain merry-go-round? Then give us a call and we\'ll schedule an appointment with our specialist.\r\n\r\nRemember, Regenerative Orthopedics is reparative. It helps your body to heal by repairing the injured soft tissue causing spinal instability. Join our growing patient list of people who have benefited from comprehensive treatment.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h3><strong>Get rid of back pain from these common conditions with Regenerative Orthopedics:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/relieve-arthritis-pain/\">Arthritis</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/stop-back-pain/\">Back pain</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Bulging discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Buttock pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Coccyx pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Degenerated discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Herniated discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Ischial tuberosity pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Failed back fusion pain</li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/failed-back-surgery-syndrome/\">Failed back surgery syndrome</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/low-back-pain-treatments-and-the-challenges-at-finding-relief/\">Lower back pain</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Muscle spasms</li>\r\n 	<li>Pelvic floor dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Pelvic pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Retrolisthesis</li>\r\n 	<li>Sacroiliac injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Stiffness</li>\r\n 	<li>Tailbone pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Thoracic spine pain</li>\r\n 	<li>SI instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Subluxation</li>\r\n 	<li>Yoga injury</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics?</h4>\r\nPeter A.

Just recently, the George Mason University baseball team lost a 20-year-old student-athlete. The freshman died unexpectedly from complications after a <a href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/baseball/2021/06/19/george-mason-pitcher-sang-ho-baek-dies-after-tommy-john-surgery/7753020002/\">Tommy John elbow surgery.1 </a>\r\n\r\nTommy John surgery is a common procedure for baseball pitchers. The surgery is used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) inside the elbow. And the procedure is becoming more common among young pitchers due to the stress pitching puts on the elbow.\r\n<h3><strong>Non-Surgical Alternatives to Tommy John Surgery </strong></h3>\r\nThe good news is that there is a non-surgical alternative to repair the UCL. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, we offer regenerative medicine techniques that include Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, and Stem Cell Therapy. Our clinicians will recommend the best treatment for your individual case and situation.\r\n<h3>Regenerative Orthopedics for An Injured UCL</h3>\r\nProlotherapy is one type of regenerative therapy utilized at our clinic. It is the use of simple dextrose to heal a partially torn ligament. How does it work? If you are a pitcher with a UCL that is injured, you have most likely lost velocity in your fastball. Plus, the wear-and-tear transpiring in the elbow is probably causing pain on the inside of your arm.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is not a new treatment. It has been used in clinical practice for more than 80 years to treat various chronic musculoskeletal conditions. And it is a safe and practical option to treat ligament damage. How does it repair an injured ligament? By \"<strong>stimulating the regenerative processes in the joint that will facilitate the restoration of joint stability by augmenting the tensile strength of joint stabilizing structures, such as ligaments.\"2</strong>\r\n<h3>PRP As a Tommy John Surgery Alternative For UCL Injury Repair</h3>\r\nPRP treatment utilizes your own concentrated blood platelets, which are then injected into the injured areas of your elbow. Blood platelets are helpful at repair because they contain growth and healing factors.  PRP can play a great role in injury healing and may be part of the recommendation for repairing the UCL injury.\r\n<h3><strong>Is Regenerative Orthopedics As A Tommy John Surgery Alternative Always An Option?</strong></h3>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics are great solutions to avoid surgery for the majority of musculoskeletal injuries involving soft tissue, including UCL injuries. Many injuries involve degeneration of the ligament, or even partial tears, and the UCL can be repaired and regenerated with Regenerative Orthopedics. There are times, such as when the ligament is completely torn, that surgery may be the only option. An experienced regenerative medicine clinician will give you a recommendation for the best treatment options after an evaluation.\r\n<h3>OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> and Peter A. Fields, MD, DC: Experienced Regenerative Orthopedics Clinic and Physician</h3>\r\nIf an ulnar collateral ligament injury has stopped you, get back in the game with Regenerative Orthopedics at OrthoRegen and Peter A. Fields, MD, DC. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> , we offer innovative, non-surgical treatments for many sports injuries and chronic pain problems, including UCL injuries.

injuries stopped you? Get back in the game with Prolotherapy and Dr. Peter A. Fields, The Athletic Doc®. At OrthoRegen we offer innovative, non-surgical treatments for your sports injury or chronic pain problems. Without unnecessary medication, prescriptions, cortisone shots or surgery, Prolotherapy can regenerate damaged or worn ligaments and strengthen weakened tendons. The most beneficial aspect of our non-surgical sports injuries treatment is that you can continue to train while you receive Prolotherapy treatments. We treat athletes of all skill and age levels: high school to college; amateur to professional athletes.\r\n\r\n<h4>How Can Prolotherapy Help Your Sports Injury?</h4>\r\nProlotherapy is an innovative treatment that stimulates the immune system to repair damaged tissue.”Prolo” comes from the word proliferate. Prolotherapy then, describes the therapy which utilizes proliferation of fibroblastic cells that grow the ligaments and tendons. By proliferation of the fibroblasts, new, strong, collagen tissue is formed. This new tissue is what is needed to repair ligament and tendon sprains and other sports injuries. Receive treatment for your sports injuries with comprehensive Prolotherapy at OrthoRegen.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You Suffering from a Sports Injury?</h4>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Sports-Injuries/Knee-Injury-Treatment\">K</a><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Sports-Injuries/Knee-Injury-Treatment\">nee Pain</a></li>\r\n 	<li> ACL Tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Torn Meniscus</li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Neck-Pain\">Neck pain</a></li>\r\n 	<li>Back Pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Shin Splints</li>\r\n 	<li>Plantar Fasciitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hamstring Strain</li>\r\n 	<li>IT Band Injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Turf Toe</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><em> Prolotherapy Sports Injuries Treatment can help you get back in the game – and get back quickly!</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>Prolotherapy Doctor Treats Sports Injuries Without Surgery</h4>\r\nReceive treatment for your sports injuries by Ironman Triathlete Dr. Peter A. Fields. For over 25 years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon. It is his experience as an athlete that allows him to understand the potential for injury and the demands of sports on the physical body. He also understands the passion athletes have to get back to training and competition, and their need to recover quickly from injury, because he has been there. In November 2012, Dr. Fields completed his second Ironman Triathlon, beating his 2011 time by better than 14 minutes. Dr. Fields is known as The Athletic Doc®. Wouldn’t you want to be treated by a sports doctor who is also an athlete?\r\n\r\nOur medical team finds that treating athletes is very rewarding. We can utilize a comprehensive health approach to help you reach your peak physical performance. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy</a> allows you to get back to training within a couple of days and does not involve periods of long recovery. Prolotherapy involves the injection of natural substances at the exact site of an injury. This stimulates the immune system to repair the sports injury. Areas often injured through sports related activities—ligaments, tendons, menisci, muscles, growth plates, joint capsules and cartilage are stimulated to heal. Anesthetics are also used to minimize any unpleasant pain.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Non- Surgical Sports Injuries Treatment?</h4>\r\nDr. Fields and our staff at OrthoRegen offer traditional Dextrose Prolotherapy knee treatment, as well as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Cellular-Regeneration\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a>.

With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.  <strong>IMAGE HERE</strong>\r\n\r\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"#\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\r\n\r\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall, but the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells, which strengthen lax or torn tendons and ligaments (ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly.

With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.  <strong>IMAGE HERE</strong>\r\n\r\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"#\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\r\n\r\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall, but the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells, which strengthen lax or torn tendons and ligaments (ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly. These weakened areas may have <strong>little or no blood flow</strong>, but they have lots of nerves. That’s why you may feel a significant amount of pain.\r\n\r\nRelaxed and weak ligaments lead to increased cartilage degeneration and finally bone-on-bone friction, which may result in arthritis type pain. Additionally, nerves around the soft tissues become stretched and irritated, also producing pain.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple1\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-644\" />\r\n<h4>What is Prolotherapy Treatment Like?</h4>\r\n\r\nThe Prolotherapy technique involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.) that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. A local anesthetic is used so there is <strong>minimal discomfort</strong> with the injections. This results in a stronger or larger tendon or ligament that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the <strong>patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated</strong>. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"#\">cortisone injections</a>, which long-term studies have shown can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\nMost patients require about 4 to 6 Prolotherapy treatments to restore function and relieve pain, but many find improvement after only one session. The treatments are usually given at two to four week intervals.\r\n\r\nIn addition to chronic (and in some cases acute) back and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-neck-pain/\">neck pain</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">shoulder</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-knee-pain/\">knee</a> and other joint pain, tendonitis and bursitis, prolotherapy has been shown to be effective at eliminating the pain of such conditions as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, some headaches, degenerated joints, fibromyalgia, and more.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is a non-surgical treatment heartily endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General C.

With Prolotherapy (also called Dextrose Prolotherapy), the weakened areas are injected with a solution that stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues. As the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and vibrant, the pain is alleviated and motion is restored.  <strong>IMAGE HERE</strong>\r\n\r\nWhether a joint, ligament or tendon is causing you pain or limited movement, Prolotherapy might be the right choice for you. Prolotherapy can help with arthritis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/knee-injury-treatment/\">knee injuries</a>, tendinitis (tennis elbow), hip dysfunction, bulging discs, lumbar or cervical spine instability, bursitis, ACL Tears, <a href=\"#\">rotator cuff injuries</a> and more.\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Treatment Repairs Joints and Relieves Pain</h4>\r\nProlotherapy\'s modern model was founded in the 1950s by Drs. George Hackett and Gustav Hemwall, but the notion of irritating an injured area to stimulate the body to heal itself goes back to ancient Greece. Prolotherapy helps your body make new cells, which strengthen lax or torn tendons and ligaments (ligaments are the tough tissues which connect bones to bones and tendons are the same kind of tissue which connect muscles to bones).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nYou might wonder why you still have pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after a healing period of weeks, months or years. The answer lies in the fact that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation and it is this lack of blood supply which deprives them of the nutrients they need to heal properly. These weakened areas may have <strong>little or no blood flow</strong>, but they have lots of nerves. That’s why you may feel a significant amount of pain.\r\n\r\nRelaxed and weak ligaments lead to increased cartilage degeneration and finally bone-on-bone friction, which may result in arthritis type pain. Additionally, nerves around the soft tissues become stretched and irritated, also producing pain.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-644\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"Couple1\" width=\"200\" height=\"298\" />\r\n<h4>What is Prolotherapy Treatment Like?</h4>\r\nThe Prolotherapy technique involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.) that causes an inflammatory response which stimulates the healing process. A local anesthetic is used so there is <strong>minimal discomfort</strong> with the injections. This results in a stronger or larger tendon or ligament that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the <strong>patient\'s pain is reduced or eliminated</strong>. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"#\">cortisone injections</a>, which long-term studies have shown can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\nMost patients require about 4 to 6 Prolotherapy treatments to restore function and relieve pain, but many find improvement after only one session. The treatments are usually given at two to four week intervals.\r\n\r\nIn addition to chronic (and in some cases acute) back and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-neck-pain/\">neck pain</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">shoulder</a>, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-knee-pain/\">knee</a> and other joint pain, tendonitis and bursitis, prolotherapy has been shown to be effective at eliminating the pain of such conditions as <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, tendonitis, arthritis, sciatica, some headaches, degenerated joints, fibromyalgia, and more.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is a non-surgical treatment heartily endorsed by former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who himself was a prolotherapist. The late diet guru Robert Atkins, M.D., also used \"prolo\" at his New York clinic and called it a miraculous treatment.\r\n<h4>Video: What is Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\n<strong>video here</strong>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">View More Videos on Prolotherapy</a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\nCall <a href=\"tel:1-424-325-6695\">424-325-6695</a> today for a free phone consultation with Dr. Peter Fields to see if Prolotherapy treatment can get you pain free and ‘back in the game’ or help you resume your normal lifestyle.

There is a very complex yet intricate interplay between the different structures of the knee, such as the tendons, ligaments, meniscus and muscles, and when any of these are injured, the whole knee becomes out of sorts. Ligament injuries are one of the common disruptions to this balance. The four major ligaments of the knee are the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Injuries that damage the meniscus and cartilage can also injure these ligaments.  Once injury to ligaments occurs, whether by trauma or by wear and tear, the other structures will be affected, and over time, the injury will lead to degeneration of the knee joint and arthritis. The ligaments become lose with injury, and similar to a stretched out rubber band, they lose their tautness. When injury to one ligament occurs, as in the case of a torn ACL, it is not uncommon that some of the other ligaments are injured as well.\r\n\r\n<h6>Stabilize the Knee by Treating the Injured Ligaments with Regenerative Orthopedics</h6>\r\nSurgery is often resorted to for ligament injuries. However, surgical cutting and removal of important knee structures actually adds to the instability, which boosts the degenerative process. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical option capable of repairing torn and injured ligaments. The treatment strengthens the loose ligaments and restores the normal motion back to the knee, and resolves the pain too.  Remember that it is very likely that more than just one ligament or joint structure is affected. Therefore, all of the affected structures need to be treated, or otherwise the knee will remain unstable, and the cycle will continue. A comprehensive treatment will address all of the ligament attachments to ensure that the knee will be strong and stable. Surgery is necessary when the ligament is completely torn, but the majority of cases are partial tears, and Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at repairing these ligaments, and stabilizing the knee once the ligaments are repaired.\r\n\r\n<h6>The Cruciate Ligaments and ACL Repair</h6>\r\nThe anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments help stabilize the knee, and prevent excessive forward and backward movement. When these ligaments are injured, the knee may feel like it is loose, because these ligaments are powerhouses at keeping the knee stable. Pain with injury to these ligaments is often felt at the back of the knee. Even after the ACL ligament is repaired surgically, knee instability can occur, and there may be a feeling of looseness or a sensation that the knee can still give way. ACL reconstructive surgery works for many patients, but others experience continued symptoms.\r\n\r\nWe see patients in our clinic who have had ACL surgery, and are concerned because their symptoms are keeping them from doing the sports and activities they want to do. They thought for sure once they had the ACL surgery that they would be back to doing what they were doing before the surgery, but they can’t. Other patients suffer from post-surgical complications and are looking for answers and a solution to their ongoing pain.\r\n\r\nAthletes want to get their knee repaired as quickly as possible, and often resort to surgery with this in mind. But research suggests there are high levels of failure rates to restore stability in ACL repairs, and many of the patients are unable to return to their previous level of sport. Surgical ACL reconstruction also accelerates the degeneration of the knee. Researchers have found that those who have had ACL reconstruction have an advanced risk for arthritis, as well as higher long-term risk of requiring a knee replacement. But how many people does this really affect? Unfortunately, it’s not just a few. Researchers show that the failure rate is 10-25%. The problems of knee instability following an ACL reconstruction surgery can be severe enough to require repeat surgery.\r\n\r\nFortunately, there are other options besides ACL surgery or even repeat surgery. In our opinion, a better solution to repair a stretched out, loose, torn, or injured ligament, is Regenerative Orthopedics. This treatment approach strengthens and heals the injured ligament in a non-surgical fashion, restoring the stability of the knee. Avoid the unsatisfactory outcome of incomplete healing and repair, and seek a consult with a clinician familiar with Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, with the goal of restoring normal ligament function and getting you back quickly to performing the sport and activity you love.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','ACL Tears and Knee Ligament Injuries','','publish','closed','closed','','acl-tears-and-knee-ligament-injuries','','','2019-06-08 10:01:29','2019-06-08 10:01:29','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?page_id=680',0,'page','',0),(681,8,'2019-06-08 10:00:14','2019-06-08 10:00:14','<strong> <a href=\"#1\">1) What does it treat</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:#2\">2) How many treatments will I need?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#3\">3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#4\">4) Is this the same thing as cortisone shots?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#5\">5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#6\">6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#7\">7) Will my insurance cover this and what are the fees?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#8\">8) Is it advisable to drive or work after Prolotherapy?</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a id=\"1\" name=\"1\"></a>1) What does it treat</strong>\r\nJoint Pain and Injury:\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>knee</li>\r\n 	<li>ankle</li>\r\n 	<li>low back</li>\r\n 	<li>neck</li>\r\n 	<li>shoulder</li>\r\n 	<li>hip</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"top\">\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>foot</li>\r\n 	<li>wrist</li>\r\n 	<li>hand</li>\r\n 	<li>elbow</li>\r\n 	<li>sacro-iliac</li>\r\n 	<li>ribs</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nOther Areas Where Prolotherapy Can Help:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Athletic injuries, new and old</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Sciatica and Pinched Nerves</li>\r\n 	<li>Herniated and Degenerative Discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Whiplash injuries</li>\r\n 	<li>Tension and Migraine Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>TMJ syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Weak, loose and unstable joints</li>\r\n 	<li>Fibromyalgia and Myofascial pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Muscle tightness, strain and spasm</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"2\" name=\"2\"></a>2)</strong> <strong>How many treatments will I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe average person requires 6 treatment sessions given at 2 to 4 week intervals, but the number of treatments varies with each patient. Difficult (post surgical, long standing, etc) or other complicated cases may require 8, 10 or 12 treatments. Many patients feel relief of pain after the 3rd or 4th treatment.

On the other hand, Prolotherapy uses proliferants, which cause the ligaments and tendons to be strengthened. Cortisone is one injection; Prolotherapy is multiple injections to an area so as to induce healing in the biggest area possible.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"></a>5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</strong>\r\nAs with any procedure, there are risks and side effects which will vary depending on the area being treated. The doctor will discuss these possibilities fully with patients during the pre-treatment consultation. On the other hand, Prolotherapy is an extremely safe procedure. The risks are far less than taking aspirin or Motrin for a lifetime to temporarily alleviate chronic pain.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"6\" name=\"6\"></a>6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</strong>\r\n\r\nAs many of my patients have said, \"the pain from the injections was nothing compared to the pain that I was experiencing prior to Prolotherapy\". Most say after the Prolotherapy treatment, \"It wasn\'t that bad.\" There are a few people, however, who may need help in receiving Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\nFor those patients that find Prolotherapy uncomfortable, Dr. Fields can also apply a cold spray (ethyl Chloride) or a gel of Lidocaine to numb the skin prior to the treatment. If additional help is needed, a prescription can be given for Ultram, Tylenol with codeine or Vicodin. This can be taken one hour prior to your Prolotherapy treatment. Additionally, we have calming music to listen to, stress balls, and hot packs to help ease one\'s mind during the treatment. <strong>Ninety-nine percent of our patients receive the treatments without pain killers and do just fine. </strong>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"7\" name=\"7\"></a>7) Will my insurance cover this and what are the fees?</strong>\r\nFor information regarding insurence and fees <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Our-Office/Common-Questions\">Click Here</a> to visit out common questions section.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"8\" name=\"8\"></a>8) Is it advisable to drive or work after Prolotherapy?</strong>\r\nYou can drive after you receive Prolotherapy.

But research suggests there are high levels of failure rates to restore stability in ACL repairs, and many of the patients are unable to return to their previous level of sport. Surgical ACL reconstruction also accelerates the degeneration of the knee. Researchers have found that those who have had ACL reconstruction have an advanced risk for arthritis, as well as higher long-term risk of requiring a knee replacement. But how many people does this really affect? Unfortunately, it’s not just a few. Researchers show that the failure rate is 10-25%. The problems of knee instability following an ACL reconstruction surgery can be severe enough to require repeat surgery.\r\n\r\nFortunately, there are other options besides ACL surgery or even repeat surgery. In our opinion, a better solution to repair a stretched out, loose, torn, or injured ligament, is Regenerative Orthopedics. This treatment approach strengthens and heals the injured ligament in a non-surgical fashion, restoring the stability of the knee. Avoid the unsatisfactory outcome of incomplete healing and repair, and seek a consult with a clinician familiar with Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, with the goal of restoring normal ligament function and getting you back quickly to performing the sport and activity you love.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','ACL Tears and Knee Ligament Injuries','','inherit','closed','closed','','680-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 10:00:27','2019-06-08 10:00:27','',680,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/680-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(683,8,'2019-06-08 10:00:42','2019-06-08 10:00:42','<strong> <a href=\"#1\">1) What does it treat</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#2\">2) How many treatments will I need?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#3\">3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#4\">4) Is this the same thing as cortisone shots?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#5\">5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#6\">6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#7\">7) Will my insurance cover this and what are the fees?</a></strong>\r\n<strong><a href=\"#8\">8) Is it advisable to drive or work after Prolotherapy?</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong><a id=\"1\" name=\"1\"></a>1) What does it treat</strong>\r\nJoint Pain and Injury:\r\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>knee</li>\r\n 	<li>ankle</li>\r\n 	<li>low back</li>\r\n 	<li>neck</li>\r\n 	<li>shoulder</li>\r\n 	<li>hip</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n<td valign=\"top\">\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>foot</li>\r\n 	<li>wrist</li>\r\n 	<li>hand</li>\r\n 	<li>elbow</li>\r\n 	<li>sacro-iliac</li>\r\n 	<li>ribs</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nOther Areas Where Prolotherapy Can Help:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Athletic injuries, new and old</li>\r\n 	<li>Arthritis pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Sciatica and Pinched Nerves</li>\r\n 	<li>Herniated and Degenerative Discs</li>\r\n 	<li>Whiplash injuries</li>\r\n 	<li>Tension and Migraine Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>TMJ syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Weak, loose and unstable joints</li>\r\n 	<li>Fibromyalgia and Myofascial pain</li>\r\n 	<li>Muscle tightness, strain and spasm</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/Dextrose-Prolotherapy/Prolotherapy-FAQ#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"2\" name=\"2\"></a>2)</strong> <strong>How many treatments will I need?</strong>\r\n\r\nThe average person requires 6 treatment sessions given at 2 to 4 week intervals, but the number of treatments varies with each patient.

There is a very complex yet intricate interplay between the different structures of the knee, such as the tendons, ligaments, meniscus and muscles, and when any of these are injured, the whole knee becomes out of sorts. Ligament injuries are one of the common disruptions to this balance. The four major ligaments of the knee are the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Injuries that damage the meniscus and cartilage can also injure these ligaments.  Once injury to ligaments occurs, whether by trauma or by wear and tear, the other structures will be affected, and over time, the injury will lead to degeneration of the knee joint and arthritis. The ligaments become lose with injury, and similar to a stretched out rubber band, they lose their tautness. When injury to one ligament occurs, as in the case of a torn ACL, it is not uncommon that some of the other ligaments are injured as well.\r\n\r\n<h6>Stabilize the Knee by Treating the Injured Ligaments with Regenerative Orthopedics</h6>\r\nSurgery is often resorted to for ligament injuries. However, surgical cutting and removal of important knee structures actually adds to the instability, which boosts the degenerative process. Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical option capable of repairing torn and injured ligaments. The treatment strengthens the loose ligaments and restores the normal motion back to the knee, and resolves the pain too.  Remember that it is very likely that more than just one ligament or joint structure is affected. Therefore, all of the affected structures need to be treated, or otherwise the knee will remain unstable, and the cycle will continue. A comprehensive treatment will address all of the ligament attachments to ensure that the knee will be strong and stable. Surgery is necessary when the ligament is completely torn, but the majority of cases are partial tears, and Regenerative Orthopedics is effective at repairing these ligaments, and stabilizing the knee once the ligaments are repaired.\r\n\r\n<h6>The Cruciate Ligaments and ACL Repair</h6>\r\nThe anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments help stabilize the knee, and prevent excessive forward and backward movement. When these ligaments are injured, the knee may feel like it is loose, because these ligaments are powerhouses at keeping the knee stable. Pain with injury to these ligaments is often felt at the back of the knee. Even after the ACL ligament is repaired surgically, knee instability can occur, and there may be a feeling of looseness or a sensation that the knee can still give way. ACL reconstructive surgery works for many patients, but others experience continued symptoms.\r\n\r\nWe see patients in our clinic who have had ACL surgery, and are concerned because their symptoms are keeping them from doing the sports and activities they want to do. They thought for sure once they had the ACL surgery that they would be back to doing what they were doing before the surgery, but they can’t. Other patients suffer from post-surgical complications and are looking for answers and a solution to their ongoing pain.\r\n\r\nAthletes want to get their knee repaired as quickly as possible, and often resort to surgery with this in mind. But research suggests there are high levels of failure rates to restore stability in ACL repairs, and many of the patients are unable to return to their previous level of sport. Surgical ACL reconstruction also accelerates the degeneration of the knee. Researchers have found that those who have had ACL reconstruction have an advanced risk for arthritis, as well as higher long-term risk of requiring a knee replacement. But how many people does this really affect? Unfortunately, it’s not just a few. Researchers show that the failure rate is 10-25%.

That’s how common low back pain is, and because of the prevalence, low back pain often leads to surgery. The surgery may give the back pain sufferer some relief, but many continue to experience a significant amount of pain. You may wonder, if surgery was done to stop the pain, then why would there still be pain after the surgery to relieve it? Back surgery requires the removal of some of the structures of the spine that help to stabilize the spine. So when they are removed, the spine will be weakened. Also, in surgeries that involve fusion of the spinal vertebrae, the areas above and below the fusion often degenerate, since movement needs to occur somewhere. The various back surgeries alter the spinal dynamic and make the patient more susceptible to new pain. Unfortunately, ten to forty percent of lower back surgeries for disabling pain end up in the person needing repeat surgery due to ongoing pain. New or persistent back or leg pain after back surgery is a condition known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The numbers are so overwhelming that this condition has its own diagnosis.\r\n\r\n<h6>A Little Background on Low Back Pain</h6>\r\nThe lumbar spine is composed of five vertebrae separated by discs and supported by strong muscles and ligaments. Cumulative trauma through years of certain activities or sports can result in small tears of the ligaments. If a major trauma transpires, the injury to the ligament can be of such severity that ligament healing never occurs, leaving the vertebrae unstable and without the support they need. The instability and ligament laxity cause ongoing low back pain. This pain is what sends people by the droves to orthopedic surgeons. If the back pain leads to back surgery, important muscles and ligaments are cut, adding to an already unstable lumbar structure.\r\n\r\n<h6>Explain What Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Involves?</h6>\r\nA back surgery may be considered “successful” by the surgeon just because the anatomic area was surgically “fixed correctly.” However, the patient may still suffer from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and continue to experience the defining symptoms which include persistent back and/or leg pain. Pain that occurs right after surgery is often due to sensitized nerves. Many nerves have to be cut by the surgeon in order to get to the area of the vertebrae being repaired, and sometimes those nerves become inflamed and/or compressed. In cases where the post-surgical pain becomes chronic and ongoing, the pain is often from spinal instability from causes which may include the removal of too much bone or due to damage to the spinal ligaments. Any time surgery is performed on the spine, it will alter the mechanics of the spine, and this will result in more force being generated at and around the areas where the surgery is done.\r\n\r\nThe pain and discomfort of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) cause a major negative impact on the ability of those with the syndrome to manage everyday life activities such as standing, lifting and traveling. Physicians see many patients who have had back surgery or multiple surgeries who continue to have pain. Sometimes the surgery fixes the pain for a year or so, but then the pain returns. The individual who had the surgery is both terrified about going through another surgery, and is also afraid of the prospects of living in pain and on pain medication.\r\n<h6>With so much progress technologically, how does FBSS still happen?</h6>\r\nSometimes surgery is done when it was never indicated. Surgery may be recommended based on MRI findings primarily and not after a thorough history and review of symptoms to match up to the MRI. This results in performing surgery on a structure that looked bad on MRI, but which was actually not the true cause of pain.\r\n\r\nWhile operating on one condition, another condition may be overlooked. A disc may be removed, for example, but the underlying instability, causing disc degeneration and stenosis were not addressed. If the issue causing the problem in the first place is never addressed, disappointing results and pain will result. Wrong spinal levels may even be operated on. Failed Back Surgery Syndrome may be the result of outright inappropriate surgeries, inadequate surgeries where the underlying pathology is not addressed, or even unnecessary surgeries.\r\n\r\n<h6>Fusion Surgery</h6>\r\nFailed Back Surgery Syndrome may result after fusion surgery. Once the joints are fused together, motion in the spine has to come from somewhere else, creating added stress on the sections above and below the spine. It is then only a matter of time before arthritis and pain develop in the adjacent segments.\r\n\r\nFusion surgery is recommended because there is too much movement or instability in the spine. The surgeon is looking to place artificial material to permanently fuse the area together, to keep it from moving. But this doesn’t always resolve the pain, and will eventually cause degeneration at the levels below and above the fusion, frequently leaving the back pain sufferer with more back pain and arthritis because of the surgery.\r\n\r\n<h6>How Is Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Treated</h6>\r\nPatients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome experience prolonged pain and because of that treatment often includes narcotics, steroids and even anti-depressants, since the prolonged pain often results in depression. All of these medications come with their own set of problems. Spinal cord stimulation is also utilized and allows for some relief in a subset of FBSS patients with radicular leg pain. These patients, however, continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\r\n\r\n<h6>Regenerative Orthopedics Help with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome</h6>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics refers to therapies that stimulate the body to heal itself, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy.  These regenerative injection therapies stimulate the body to repair, without the need for surgery. Our bodies have amazing regenerative capabilities. This is a novel approach because we are triggering the body to strengthen the tissue on its own, without the use of artificial hardware.\r\n\r\nFor those patients who are taking narcotics, or for those with spinal cord stimulators, an initial consultation to discuss these treatments would be recommended. Regenerative Orthopedics therapies resolve the problems that damaged the spine, and for optimal healing, other therapies that are suppressing the ability of the body to heal need to be limited or stopped. Regenerative Orthopedic therapies are reparative treatments and are alternatives to surgery. They can also help when surgery has already been done, but failed to address the root issue.\r\n\r\nFor those with back pain who have not had surgery yet, we strongly recommend looking into regenerative therapies first. One of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is, the individual can maintain activity and get back to the activities they enjoy, without the need for extensive downtime. Treatments and exercise programs are individually tailored to promote healing and return people to their active lives. It’s really an amazing transformation to see people regain their mobility and independence!\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is helpful for almost all types of back pain: herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, chronic subluxation of the sacroiliac joints, and more.

That’s how common low back pain is, and because of the prevalence, low back pain often leads to surgery. The surgery may give the back pain sufferer some relief, but many continue to experience a significant amount of pain. You may wonder, if surgery was done to stop the pain, then why would there still be pain after the surgery to relieve it? Back surgery requires the removal of some of the structures of the spine that help to stabilize the spine. So when they are removed, the spine will be weakened. Also, in surgeries that involve fusion of the spinal vertebrae, the areas above and below the fusion often degenerate, since movement needs to occur somewhere. The various back surgeries alter the spinal dynamic and make the patient more susceptible to new pain. Unfortunately, ten to forty percent of lower back surgeries for disabling pain end up in the person needing repeat surgery due to ongoing pain. New or persistent back or leg pain after back surgery is a condition known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome. The numbers are so overwhelming that this condition has its own diagnosis.\r\n\r\n<h6>A Little Background on Low Back Pain</h6>\r\nThe lumbar spine is composed of five vertebrae separated by discs and supported by strong muscles and ligaments. Cumulative trauma through years of certain activities or sports can result in small tears of the ligaments. If a major trauma transpires, the injury to the ligament can be of such severity that ligament healing never occurs, leaving the vertebrae unstable and without the support they need. The instability and ligament laxity cause ongoing low back pain. This pain is what sends people by the droves to orthopedic surgeons. If the back pain leads to back surgery, important muscles and ligaments are cut, adding to an already unstable lumbar structure.\r\n\r\n<h6>Explain What Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Involves?</h6>\r\nA back surgery may be considered “successful” by the surgeon just because the anatomic area was surgically “fixed correctly.” However, the patient may still suffer from Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and continue to experience the defining symptoms which include persistent back and/or leg pain. Pain that occurs right after surgery is often due to sensitized nerves. Many nerves have to be cut by the surgeon in order to get to the area of the vertebrae being repaired, and sometimes those nerves become inflamed and/or compressed. In cases where the post-surgical pain becomes chronic and ongoing, the pain is often from spinal instability from causes which may include the removal of too much bone or due to damage to the spinal ligaments. Any time surgery is performed on the spine, it will alter the mechanics of the spine, and this will result in more force being generated at and around the areas where the surgery is done.\r\n\r\nThe pain and discomfort of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome (FBSS) cause a major negative impact on the ability of those with the syndrome to manage everyday life activities such as standing, lifting and traveling. Physicians see many patients who have had back surgery or multiple surgeries who continue to have pain. Sometimes the surgery fixes the pain for a year or so, but then the pain returns. The individual who had the surgery is both terrified about going through another surgery, and is also afraid of the prospects of living in pain and on pain medication.\r\n<h6>With so much progress technologically, how does FBSS still happen?</h6>\r\nSometimes surgery is done when it was never indicated. Surgery may be recommended based on MRI findings primarily and not after a thorough history and review of symptoms to match up to the MRI. This results in performing surgery on a structure that looked bad on MRI, but which was actually not the true cause of pain.\r\n\r\nWhile operating on one condition, another condition may be overlooked. A disc may be removed, for example, but the underlying instability, causing disc degeneration and stenosis were not addressed. If the issue causing the problem in the first place is never addressed, disappointing results and pain will result. Wrong spinal levels may even be operated on. Failed Back Surgery Syndrome may be the result of outright inappropriate surgeries, inadequate surgeries where the underlying pathology is not addressed, or even unnecessary surgeries.\r\n\r\n<h6>Fusion Surgery</h6>\r\nFailed Back Surgery Syndrome may result after fusion surgery. Once the joints are fused together, motion in the spine has to come from somewhere else, creating added stress on the sections above and below the spine. It is then only a matter of time before arthritis and pain develop in the adjacent segments.\r\n\r\nFusion surgery is recommended because there is too much movement or instability in the spine. The surgeon is looking to place artificial material to permanently fuse the area together, to keep it from moving. But this doesn’t always resolve the pain, and will eventually cause degeneration at the levels below and above the fusion, frequently leaving the back pain sufferer with more back pain and arthritis because of the surgery.\r\n\r\n<h6>How Is Failed Back Surgery Syndrome Treated</h6>\r\nPatients with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome experience prolonged pain and because of that treatment often includes narcotics, steroids and even anti-depressants, since the prolonged pain often results in depression. All of these medications come with their own set of problems. Spinal cord stimulation is also utilized and allows for some relief in a subset of FBSS patients with radicular leg pain. These patients, however, continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\r\n\r\n<h6>Regenerative Orthopedics Help with Failed Back Surgery Syndrome</h6>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics refers to therapies that stimulate the body to heal itself, such as Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy.  These regenerative injection therapies stimulate the body to repair, without the need for surgery. Our bodies have amazing regenerative capabilities. This is a novel approach because we are triggering the body to strengthen the tissue on its own, without the use of artificial hardware.\r\n\r\nFor those patients who are taking narcotics, or for those with spinal cord stimulators, an initial consultation to discuss these treatments would be recommended. Regenerative Orthopedics therapies resolve the problems that damaged the spine, and for optimal healing, other therapies that are suppressing the ability of the body to heal need to be limited or stopped. Regenerative Orthopedic therapies are reparative treatments and are alternatives to surgery. They can also help when surgery has already been done, but failed to address the root issue.\r\n\r\nFor those with back pain who have not had surgery yet, we strongly recommend looking into regenerative therapies first. One of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is, the individual can maintain activity and get back to the activities they enjoy, without the need for extensive downtime. Treatments and exercise programs are individually tailored to promote healing and return people to their active lives. It’s really an amazing transformation to see people regain their mobility and independence!\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics is helpful for almost all types of back pain: herniated discs, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, chronic subluxation of the sacroiliac joints, and more. Regenerative Orthopedics may save you from an unnecessary surgery, because the treatments address the problems causing the instability, and offer a way of repair when other treatments often fail.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics treatments correct the underlying problem of spinal instability. Without this correction, the patient is more likely to continue on the course of pain and symptom chasing pain management therapies that only temporarily calm the pain. Remember, spinal instability is a progressive disorder, meaning that the area will continue to degenerate until regenerative treatments are used to restore them.','Failed Back Surgery Syndrome','','inherit','closed','closed','','689-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 10:06:03','2019-06-08 10:06:03','',689,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/689-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(696,8,'2019-06-08 10:06:53','2019-06-08 10:06:53','<strong>WHAT TO EXPECT POST TREATMENT</strong>\n\n<strong>Stiffness and Soreness:</strong> You can expect to be stiff and sore post treatment.

That’s great news because there is an answer for those suffering with these ailments and a way to find permanent pain relief.\r\n\r\n<h4>Neck Ligaments and Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhen the ligaments of the neck are weakened, the instability that transpires in the neck is called cervical instability. Sufferers with this malady often experience a bunch of bizarre symptoms in addition to neck pain which can include dizziness, visual disturbances, eye pressure, mouth pain, sinus congestion, tinnitus, and many others. Instability of the ligaments of the neck is implicated in conditions like disc herniation, whiplash, cervicocranial syndrome and spondylosis. When these ligaments are injured, they elongate and become weak, which allows for excessive movement in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nInstability that arises in the upper part of the neck or cervical spine (C0-C2) can manifest symtoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, dizziness, facial pain, arm pain, and migraine headaches. A condition called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) with its associated symptoms of neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, vertigo, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and auditory and visual disturbances can also develop in instances of upper cervical spine instability, because the excessive movement in the neck can alter the flow of vertebral arterial blood.\r\nWhen the instability is located in the lower neck or cervical spine (C3-C7), the resultant symptoms include muscle spasms, crepitation, and feelings of pins and needles along with neck pain. As the instability worsens, so do the symptoms. Surgery to fuse the vertebrae of the neck is often recommended in cases of cervical instability, but a consultation from an expert in Regenerative Orthopedics should be sought, since this therapy can often prevent the need for the fusion, as well as strengthen the involved ligaments and restore proper motion to the neck.\r\n\r\n<h4>The Neck Is Unique</h4>\r\nThe neck is unique, because the vertebrae in the neck are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck vertebrae is required to move the head through its varied range of motion. These anatomic features are necessary for optimal functioning, but also make the area vulnerable to injury due to the demands placed upon the neck. The ligaments of the neck, which are the stabilizing structures primarily responsible for connecting adjacent bones, are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally, while remaining in proper alignment and protecting the blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord. Injury to the ligaments changes this dynamic, and leads to instability of the cervical spine. Add to that all of the stresses and loads placed upon the neck and a cycle of imbalance is set in motion generating even more abnormal changes in the vertebral alignment. Remember that cervical instability involves excessive motion between adjacent vertebrae which causes excessive stress on the supporting ligaments and the nerve endings within them. The result is a cycle of pain and the associated variety of aforementioned symptoms.\r\n\r\n<h4>Whiplash: A Type of Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common source of cervical instability. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear end collisions causes the head to severely whip backwards and forwards. The backward “whip,” or hyperextension, is often associated with more injury to the soft tissue of the neck, because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meeting the chest in the forward “whip.” The excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments, and adjoining neck joints.\r\n\r\nThe ligaments of the neck are particularly vulnerable to injury during a whiplash event and more notably when the head is rotated at the time of collision, such as when looking in the rear-view mirror. The ligaments that function to limit side-to-side head movement become susceptible to failure in this turned position, which then compromises their ability to limit motion. The lack of a stabilizing structure can lead to further injury of the soft tissue and joint structures and the possibility of nerve injury as well as irritation of the sympathetic nervous system. Provocation of these nerve endings alters firing patterns and increases activation of the sympathetic nervous system resulting in a myriad of symptoms, as those that occur in the condition called Barré-Liéou Syndrome or cervicocranial syndrome.\r\n\r\nResolve the Underlying Ligament Injury and the Symptoms with Regenerative Orthopedics\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics strengthens weakened ligaments. It is effective in repairing and regenerating the ligaments and structures involved in cervical instability, eliminating the instability and abnormal movement, which then resolves the neck pain and associated symptoms. Cervical instability can be a frustrating and life-altering condition, but Regenerative Orthopedics, a safe non-surgical option, can stabilize the neck and increase functionality in the person suffering it, and essentially help the patient get their life back.\r\n','Neck Pain Treatment and Relief','','publish','closed','closed','','neck-pain-treatment-and-relief','','','2019-06-18 05:56:33','2019-06-18 05:56:33','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?page_id=703',0,'page','',0),(705,8,'2019-06-08 10:10:41','2019-06-08 10:10:41','Joint pain in the various joints of the body is usually caused by some sort of weakness in the soft tissue.

PRP is injected into the affected region to stimulate and enhance healing. PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\r\n<h3><strong>What does PRP mean?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood which contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Harvest method that Dr Fields uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n<h3><strong>What conditions are treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures that are treated. PRP has also been effective in treating arthritis. <img title=\"Full Body Joints\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/fully_body_joints.jpg\" alt=\"Full Body Joints\" />\r\n<h3><strong>What are some common diagnoses treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Knees: meniscus, ACL, MCL LCL, arthritis, knee cap instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tears, labrum tears, tenositis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip: labrum, tenositis, Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Low Back: Facet joints, arthritis, Sacro-Iliac dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Ankle/Foot: Achilles dysfunction, tendonitis, arthritis, ankle sprains</li>\r\n 	<li>Wrist/Hand finger/joint tendinitis, ligament tears, arthritis, carpel tunnel</li>\r\n 	<li>Elbow: Tennis elbow (later epicondylitis, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>How is PRP treatment administered?</strong></h3>\r\nThe patient’s blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge specifically designed to concentrate platelets. Second a local anesthetic is provided to the affected region. The PRP is then injected into the affected area.\r\n<h3><strong>Is PRP curative?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP actually heals the injured region. Unlike pharmaceutical medications like ibuprofen or cortisone which just take the pain away but do not heal the injury.\r\n<h3><strong>How does PRP work to heal?</strong></h3>\r\nGrowth Factors are released from large quantities of activated platelets at the site of injury. This leads to a reaction that initiates a healing cascade. Growth factors stimulate promote stimulate healing of weakened, torn or damaged soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, meniscus or labrum.\r\n<h3><strong>Is PRP painful?</strong></h3>\r\nPatients typically tolerate the procedure well although post-injection soreness is sometime experienced.\r\n<h3><strong>How many PRP treatments do you need?</strong></h3>\r\nTwo to four treatments depending on the degree of injury and how long the injury has been there.\r\n<h3><strong>How far apart are PRP treatments spaced?</strong></h3>\r\nTypically about every 6 weeks if indicated.<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"PRP Treatment Questions\" />\r\n<h3><strong>What can you expect after getting PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nFor the first 48 hours, swelling and mild discomfort are typical in the injected area. Therefore, all patients are provided with pain medicine after PRP. By day 3, these symptoms will begin to substantially resolve.\r\n<h3><strong>Are there side effects/complications of PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nMinimal side effects have been observed with treatment. Any stiffness or discomfort reported after PRP should resolve with time.\r\n<h3><strong>How long does it take the PRP to “work”?</strong></h3>\r\nMost patients notice some element of improvement by 2-6 weeks after PRP treatment. Symptom improvement is slow and subtle as days and weeks pass, with usual report of original pain being lessened over time. Increased endurance and strength are typically reported.\r\n<h3><strong>Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy in the News:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Health/PainNews/story?id=6895441&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Idea: Healing Injuries, Arthritis with Blood (Good Morning America)</a>\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/06/05/eveningnews/main2889125.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Body, Heal Thyself (CBS News)</a>\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong><a href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/plasma-helps-hines-ward-super-article-1.392694\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Plasma Helps Athlete be Super (New York Daily News)</a></strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>','PRP Treatment','','inherit','closed','closed','','414-revision-v1','','','2019-06-08 10:14:41','2019-06-08 10:14:41','',414,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/414-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(709,8,'2019-06-08 10:16:02','2019-06-08 10:16:02','&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<h4>>PRP Platelet Rich Plasma</h4>\r\n\r\nHave you been told you need joint surgery?

PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\r\n<h3><strong>What does PRP mean?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood which contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Harvest method that Dr Fields uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n<h3><strong>What conditions are treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures that are treated. PRP has also been effective in treating arthritis. <img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/fully_body_joints.jpg\" alt=\"Fully Body Joints\" width=\"200\" height=\"376\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-712\" />\r\n<h3><strong>What are some common diagnoses treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Knees: meniscus, ACL, MCL LCL, arthritis, knee cap instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tears, labrum tears, tenositis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip: labrum, tenositis, Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Low Back: Facet joints, arthritis, Sacro-Iliac dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Ankle/Foot: Achilles dysfunction, tendonitis, arthritis, ankle sprains</li>\r\n 	<li>Wrist/Hand finger/joint tendinitis, ligament tears, arthritis, carpel tunnel</li>\r\n 	<li>Elbow: Tennis elbow (later epicondylitis, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>How is PRP treatment administered?</strong></h3>\r\nThe patient’s blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge specifically designed to concentrate platelets.

At OrthoRegen, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgLeft alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cell\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell treatment for joints\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/PRP-Prolotherapy\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgRight alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cells\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cells\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

At OrthoRegen, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Regenerative-Techniques/PRP-Treatment\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"#\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgLeft alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cell\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell treatment for joints\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/PRP-Prolotherapy\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"imgRight alignleft\" title=\"Stem Cells\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/stem/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cells\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement.

Last year in the US, there were 3.5 million total joint replacements and another 35 million joint surgeries. Surgery can always be done but never un-done, which is why people in increasing numbers are seeking non-surgical alternatives to joint and spine surgery. Cutting out a part of a joint or injecting it with steroids is not the answer. Stem Cell Treatment for Joints is the answer. </i>\r\n\r\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"#\">Testimonials Page</a>.\r\n\r\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment?</h4>\r\nStem Cell Treatment for Joints and Spine is a great alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery. At OrthoRegen, we utilize the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Treatments, which is an effective non-surgical alternative, and one that very well may help you<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <em>Avoid Joint Replacement Surgery</em></span>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\r\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\r\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\r\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\r\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n...you now have another option.\r\n\r\nThat\'s because your Stem Cells have the potential to regenerate into any type of body tissue. Their use in regenerative medicine is growing in popularity in the medical world as an <em>alternative to invasive orthopedic surgeries including total joint replacement</em>. The remarkable thing about Stem Cells is the fact that when you inject them into a specific area of the body, they know what kinds of cells your body needs – for example, meniscus cells or cartilage cells.\r\n\r\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\r\nOur Stem Cell technique we use for joints and spine is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration. We use all four kinds of regenerative Orthopedics for this procedure to help you avoid invasive surgery. Many other clinics only use one or two of these procedures, but not all four.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\r\n 	<li>Both solutions are then centrifuged and concentrated to get a solution with the highest amount of stem cells. We inject both of these sources of stem cells into the joint.</li>\r\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\r\n 	<li>In addition, we use <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> on the outside of the joint to help stabilize the ligaments and tendons that hold the joint in place.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUsing two sources of stem cells (bone and fat) as well as PRP Prolotherapy and Dextrose Prolotherapy is <strong><em>The Gold Standard</em></strong> for stem cell regeneration.\r\n\r\nAgain, this procedure is usually used for cases where you have been told to have their joint replaced, have bone-on-bone, advanced arthritis, severe meniscus or labral tear or other aggressive injuries. This is only recommended after a very thorough history and physical exam. It is important to have an x-ray to confirm what is known from the above exams. Not everyone is a candidate for this procedure, but many are.\r\n\r\nWhy is it so important that you know about this alternative to joint replacement surgery? Because <strong><em>once surgery is done, it cannot be un-done!</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\r\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\r\nStem cells are contained within bone marrow. This has been shown in studies for many years now. Harvesting them from one’s own body eliminates the possibility of cross reaction or rejection since it is your own body supplying the stem cells.  This autologous (meaning \"obtained from oneself\") bone marrow aspirate contains not only mesenchymal stem cells (cells that are able to develop into the tissues such as bone and cartilage) but also progenitor cells, which are a different type of stem-like cell.\r\n\r\nBone marrow also contains other cells that produce growth factors and cytokines (cells that affect the behavior of other cells). These cytokines aid in fibroblastic proliferation. Fibroblasts are cells that synthesize the structural framework.  Stem cells have the ability to form tissues like bone, cartilage, labrum, meniscus, ligaments and more.  All this allows for repair and remodeling of cartilage, bone and other soft tissue structures such as meniscus, labrums, ligaments and tendons.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\r\nOn the other hand adipose tissue is also a rich source of adult stem cells. These cells, harvested from one’s own fat, have an extensive proliferative capacity and can differentiate into multiple cell lines. Stem cells derived from adipose tissue can differentiate ligaments, bone, cartilage, muscle or ligaments. This type of stem cell is now being used in musculoskeletal medicine to regenerate not only the above tissues but to provide a scaffolding to hold the stem cells in place and allow them to grow. Adipose-derived stem cells are similar to, but not identical to bone marrow cells.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell1\"  class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-732\" />Not all injuries require stem cells to heal. The success rate with traditional Prolotherapy (both Dextrose and PRP) is in the 90%+ range for all patients. However, for those cases of advanced arthritis, severe meniscus tears or labral tears, bone-on-bone, aggressive injuries or where one has been told to have their joint replaced, some may need to use Stem Cell Prolotherapy to regenerate the defective joint. I use this in combination with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> (to accelerate the stem cell healing) and with <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> (to strengthen and stabilize the surrounding support structures).\r\n\r\nAs more and more research comes out, what is known by a few physicians is being proven. A recent research study was conducted and titled, “Transplanted bone marrow and fat mesenchymal stem cells with platelet-rich fibrin glue scaffold stimulates full-thickness cartilage defects to heal.”\r\n\r\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\r\nSeveral human studies using bone marrow and fat stem cells for articular cartilage lesions have been done. Articular cartilage is a type of cartilage that covers joint surfaces and is most susceptible to injury compared to other types of cartilage. Researchers at Cairo University School of Medicine and the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine reported on the use of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and a platelet-rich fibrin scaffold to heal full-thickness cartilage defects in five patients. The researchers studied the treatment results from the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells with success.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-735\" />Articular Cartilage has limited repair capacity and marrow-stimulation procedures such as micro fracture, osteochondral grafts and autologous cartilage implantations have had limited success in articular cartilage defects. The researchers from this study chose mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow because these have the ability to differentiate into cartilage cells. In the case of these five patients the bone marrow was harvested from the iliac crest (hip bone).\r\n\r\nPlatelets were used as a scaffold because platelets contain various growth factors that stimulate cartilage regeneration. The researchers expected that the biological effect of multiple growth factors on tissue regeneration is greater than that of a single growth factor.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong>\r\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage. Three postoperative MRIs revealed complete healing and congruent cartilage tissue, whereas two patient MRIs showed incomplete (it was partial and not 100% complete) congruity in the cartilage tissue.\r\n\r\nThe researchers concluded that the transplantation of autologous culture-expanded bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells in platelet rich-fibrin glue shows great promise in the treatment of full-thickness articular cartilage defects, particularly large-sized defects (&gt;4 cm).  The positive 1 year clinical outcomes support further randomized controlled clinical trials of this treatment modality with larger numbers of patients and longer follow-up periods.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>How Can Stem Cell Therapy Help Your Joints or Spine</h4>\r\nIf you\'ve been told that you need to have joint replacement surgery -- whether that\'s knee replacement surgery, hip replacement surgery, shoulder replacement surgery (or any other joint), or if you\'ve been told that you need to have spine surgery due to arthritis, bone-on-bone, or other conditions, you owe it to yourself to examine all other alternatives to surgery before going under the knife.\r\n\r\nJoint Replacement Surgery and Spine Surgery are very invasive procedures, and each comes with its own long list of reasons to avoid it at all costs: hospital stays, potential (dangerous) complications, long recovery times, and the need to have the procedure redone at some point.

Is your Chronic Pain changing your lifestyle and preventing you from doing the things you want to do? If it has, then a doctor might have told you that you need to have surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone injections or take dangerous NSAIDS to treat your chronic pain. In many cases, those may not be the best treatments. Depending on the nature of your injury, you may be able to <strong>treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy</strong>.\r\n\r\n<h4>What is Pain?</h4>\r\nPain can be defined as a feeling of distress, suffering, or agony, caused by stimulation of specialized nerve endings in the body, resulting from injury or disease. Pain receptors, found in the skin and other tissues are nerve fibers that react to stimuli. Pain impulses enter the spinal cord and are transmitted to your brain, where they are interpreted as pain. The purpose of pain in a person’s body is chiefly protective; pain acts as a warning that tissues are being damaged. This tissue damage can be actual or potential.\r\n\r\n<h4>Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain</h4>\r\nThere are two general categories of pain: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is intense and can last from a few seconds to hours or days. This severe pain should wane as healing of the injury or disease occurs. Chronic pain however, can range from mild to severe and can last weeks, months or longer. Chronic pain is pain that continues or recurs over a prolonged period. Under certain conditions the pain receptors in the body become more sensitive over a period of time. This means that as long as a traumatic stimulus persists, you will continue to be aware that damage to the tissues may still be occurring.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Am I Still In Pain?</h4>\r\nYou might wonder why there is still pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after healing for weeks, months or years. The answer is that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. This lack of blood supply deprives these tissues of nutrients they need to heal properly.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/\">Prolotherapy</a> builds stronger or larger tendons or ligaments that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the patient’s pain is reduced or eliminated. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to cortisone injections, which long-term studies show, can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\n<h4>Who Uses Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not deal with the cause of the pain. Most of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Athletes with sports injuries are especially interested in the use of Prolotherapy for treatment because it is an alternative to surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone shots, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatories, and chronic use of narcotic pain medications. These measures may not help, and often hinder or even prevent the healing process.\r\n\r\nDo you suffer from <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Knee-Pain\">chronic knee pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Shoulder-Pain\">Chronic shoulder pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Neck-Pain\">Chronic neck pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Conditions/Chronic-Pain/Chronic-Elbow-Pain\">Chronic elbow pain</a>? Or is your chronic pain somewhere else in your body, such as your back, hips, or ankles? Wherever it is, Dr. Fields may be able to treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Prolotherapy Works</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\nThe potential for Prolotherapy to eliminate chronic pain is very high, especially in sports injuries that are a result of ligament and tendon weakness. Prolotherapy can regenerate damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain. Our goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working and training during the recovery process. It is one treatment that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate For Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nWhether your chronic pain is from a back injury, a work-related injury, or a sports injury, you can treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Contact-Us\">Contact us for a consultation</a> to see if you are a candidate or get a second opinion for a recommended surgery.

Is your Chronic Pain changing your lifestyle and preventing you from doing the things you want to do? If it has, then a doctor might have told you that you need to have surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone injections or take dangerous NSAIDS to treat your chronic pain. In many cases, those may not be the best treatments. Depending on the nature of your injury, you may be able to <strong>treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy</strong>.\r\n\r\n<h4>What is Pain?</h4>\r\nPain can be defined as a feeling of distress, suffering, or agony, caused by stimulation of specialized nerve endings in the body, resulting from injury or disease. Pain receptors, found in the skin and other tissues are nerve fibers that react to stimuli. Pain impulses enter the spinal cord and are transmitted to your brain, where they are interpreted as pain. The purpose of pain in a person’s body is chiefly protective; pain acts as a warning that tissues are being damaged. This tissue damage can be actual or potential.\r\n\r\n<h4>Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain</h4>\r\nThere are two general categories of pain: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is intense and can last from a few seconds to hours or days. This severe pain should wane as healing of the injury or disease occurs. Chronic pain however, can range from mild to severe and can last weeks, months or longer. Chronic pain is pain that continues or recurs over a prolonged period. Under certain conditions the pain receptors in the body become more sensitive over a period of time. This means that as long as a traumatic stimulus persists, you will continue to be aware that damage to the tissues may still be occurring.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Am I Still In Pain?</h4>\r\nYou might wonder why there is still pain in an injured area or why that area remains weak, even after healing for weeks, months or years. The answer is that both ligaments and tendons have very poor circulation. This lack of blood supply deprives these tissues of nutrients they need to heal properly.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> builds stronger or larger tendons or ligaments that can hold body structures in place more effectively. The weakened area heals, and the patient’s pain is reduced or eliminated. Prolotherapy is an excellent alternative to cortisone injections, which long-term studies show, can actually weaken tissue.\r\n\r\n<h4>Who Uses Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not deal with the cause of the pain. Most of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Athletes with sports injuries are especially interested in the use of Prolotherapy for treatment because it is an alternative to surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone shots, non-steroidal and anti-inflammatories, and chronic use of narcotic pain medications. These measures may not help, and often hinder or even prevent the healing process.\r\n\r\nDo you suffer from <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-knee-pain/\">chronic knee pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-shoulder-pain/\">Chronic shoulder pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-neck-pain/\">Chronic neck pain</a>? <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-elbow-pain/\">Chronic elbow pain</a>? Or is your chronic pain somewhere else in your body, such as your back, hips, or ankles? Wherever it is, Dr. Fields may be able to treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Why Prolotherapy Works</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\nThe potential for Prolotherapy to eliminate chronic pain is very high, especially in sports injuries that are a result of ligament and tendon weakness. Prolotherapy can regenerate damaged tissues and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain. Our goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working and training during the recovery process. It is one treatment that encourages movement post-treatment. Movement actually aids the healing process after Prolotherapy.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate For Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nWhether your chronic pain is from a back injury, a work-related injury, or a sports injury, you can treat your chronic pain with Prolotherapy. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Contact-Us\">Contact us for a consultation</a> to see if you are a candidate or get a second opinion for a recommended surgery.

To be engaged in everyday activities -- standing, walking, running, and even lying down -- you need to have normal knee function. But if you have chronic pain in your knee, you\'re prevented from doing all of that and more. Many conventional treatments include surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone and NSAIDS, but sometimes those treatments can hurt more than they help. That is why so many people turn to Prolotherapy for Chronic Knee Pain treatment.\n\n<h4>What Causes Knee Pain?</h4>\nThe knee begins at the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin (tibia). The knee cap (patellae), slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach the femur to the tibia, providing stability to the leg.\n\nCommon causes of knee pain are arthritis. If you are experiencing minor knee pain, clicking, giving way or ‘trick knee’, you may be feeling the first symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin in people as early as thirty years of age, and this may progress for years before symptoms appear. Acute knee pain, sudden and intense, is usually the result of an injury. Acute knee pain accompanied by significant inflammation and swelling, can be caused by gout or even infection. Chronic osteoarthritis can also be the cause of occasional acute knee pain.\n\nThe most common cause of long-lasting or chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty, can also cause chronic pain in the knee joint. Pseudo gout, bursitis, tendonitis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, degenerative joint disease and chondromalacia patellae can be other causes of knee pain. As we age the smooth and resilient cartilage on the ends of our long bones, wears down, but this cartilage is needed for normal joint function.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Knee Pain</h4>\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises.

The neck enables the head to move and to rotate, but if you can\'t move your neck normally, your life can be severely disrupted and your activities can be limited. Depending on the cause and type of your neck injury or condition, your best choice may be prolotherapy for chronic neck pain.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Causes Neck Pain?</h4>\r\nYour neck is composed of seven cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae support your head, serve as an attachment point for the muscles that move your head, and protect the spinal cord between the brain and thoracic vertebrae.\r\n\r\nSymptoms of <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">neck pain</a> can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain in the shoulder, arm or hand</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduced range of motion in the neck</li>\r\n 	<li>Numbness, weakness, and slower reflexes in the arms, legs, hands and feet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nIf you are experiencing minor neck pain, you may be experiencing early symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin as young as thirty and symptoms may begin to appear years after the disease begins.\r\n\r\nA strain or spasm of the muscles in the neck or inflammation of the neck can be the causes of the neck pain you feel. Pain in the neck can also be caused by injury such as whiplash or a blow to the head or neck while playing sports. Cervical disk degeneration, a pinched nerve, meningitis, influenza, a heart attack or torticollis, can also be causes of neck pain. Anything that causes stress on the muscles in the upper body and arms, including poor posture, and sleeping on a pillow that is too high, can be causes of localized neck pain.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Neck Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises.

But when a part of your body, such as your shoulder, begins to hurt or hurts for an extended period of time, you quickly realize how much you depend on your shoulders for reaching, raising your arm, lifting yourself up or even just opening a cupboard. That\'s why so many people with shoulder pain or injuries look to <strong>Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain</strong> treatment.\n\n<h4>Causes of Shoulder Pain</h4>\nThe muscles and joints of the shoulder allow it to move through a remarkable range of motion, making it one of the most mobile joints in the human body. The shoulder can rotate, be raised in front of and behind the torso and allow the arm to move a full 360°. This tremendous range of motion also makes the shoulder extremely unstable, and far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints.\n\nBecause the rounded head or ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket of the shoulder bone (scapula), this area is especially susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint consists of bones, muscles and ligaments that are all subject to stress and overuse.\n\nCommon causes of shoulder pain can be:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\n 	<li>Dislocation and attendant injury</li>\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\n 	<li>Adhesive capsulated (frozen shoulder)</li>\n 	<li>Fracture</li>\n 	<li>Poor posture.</li>\n</ul>\nBut the <strong>most common cause of chronic pain in the shoulder is arthritis</strong>.

But when a part of your body, such as your shoulder, begins to hurt or hurts for an extended period of time, you quickly realize how much you depend on your shoulders for reaching, raising your arm, lifting yourself up or even just opening a cupboard. That\'s why so many people with shoulder pain or injuries look to <strong>Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain</strong> treatment.\r\n\r\n<h4>Causes of Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nThe muscles and joints of the shoulder allow it to move through a remarkable range of motion, making it one of the most mobile joints in the human body. The shoulder can rotate, be raised in front of and behind the torso and allow the arm to move a full 360°. This tremendous range of motion also makes the shoulder extremely unstable, and far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints.\r\n\r\nBecause the rounded head or ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket of the shoulder bone (scapula), this area is especially susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint consists of bones, muscles and ligaments that are all subject to stress and overuse.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of shoulder pain can be:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Dislocation and attendant injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Adhesive capsulated (frozen shoulder)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fracture</li>\r\n 	<li>Poor posture.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBut the <strong>most common cause of chronic pain in the shoulder is arthritis</strong>.

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. It is usually the ligaments and tendons that are injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\n\n<strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\n\nThese injuries may involve a tear in the <strong>annular ligament</strong>, which wraps around the radius bone to the humerus bone. These ligaments take all the strain when the lower arm turns. Twisting a screwdriver, turning a key or hitting a baseball are all activities that use the annular ligament.\n\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">Elbow pain</a> can also involve tendon injury, as in the cases of tennis or golfer’s elbow. In tennis elbow it is the <strong>extensor tendons</strong> which move the wrist up, that can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong>, that move the wrist down, that get injured. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\n\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\nCommon symptoms of elbow injury are: pain, swelling, numbness, tingling in the arm, weakness, and changes in temperature or colour of the skin. A patient may not remember having a specific injury, especially if symptoms began gradually or during usual activities.\n\n<strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong>\n\n<strong>But eighty percent of chronic elbow pain is caused by spraining the annular ligament</strong>, which attaches the radius bone to the ulnar bone. Because of the heavy demands placed on the fingers and hands by performing repetitive tasks, the annular ligament is stressed daily and could become a source of chronic pain. Another source of chronic elbow pain is strain of the ulnar collateral ligament. This ligament supports the inside of the elbow and holds the ulnar bone to the humerus.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem.

Since the future of health care is changing, you should be involved with this investment. Some of the treatments out there promoted by conventional medicine are doing their job- that is getting people better. But some can actually make you worse, or affect different parts of the body in a negative way. What good is it if it cures your specific ailment only to give you a different one.\n\nWhen you make a financial investment, you measure it by how much it grows each year. Investing in your health pays off in many different ways: wellness, health stability, quality of life, energy, happiness and more. There is an underlying cause for each of your symptoms and that will take time and effort on our part and yours to find out what that may be. For this reason, more and more people are starting to get concerned about and involved in, their own health care. Just treating the symptoms will not make the problem go away; one must get to the cause of the problem and fix that. This approach is what Integrative/Holistic medicine is all about.\n\nThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the key factors influencing an individual\'s state of health have not changed significantly over the past 20 years. Heredity accounts for 18% and the environment is 19%. Everyday lifestyle choices are 53%. The decisions people make about their life and habits are therefore by far the largest factor in determining their state of wellness.\n\nPeter A.
