Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. But the ligaments or tendons are usually injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\r\n<h3><strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong></h3>\r\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.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tendon Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\r\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. The <strong>extensor tendons</strong> move the wrist up, and in tennis elbow, these can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow, it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong> that get injured, as they move the wrist down. 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.\r\n\r\nOther causes of elbow pain include tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis, elbow strains and infections.\r\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.\r\n<h3><strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong></h3>\r\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.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Elbow Pain</h4>\r\nConventional medical treatments may relieve the symptoms of elbow pain, but they do not remedy the underlying cause of the problem. That\'s why many 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 remove the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields may be able to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat your chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular pain.\r\n\r\nMost of the time, musculoskeletal pain is due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and possibly cartilage. Prolotherapy can <strong>regenerate these damaged tissues</strong> and ultimately alleviate the problem causing the pain.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy works because it stimulates an inflammatory reaction in the body. Solutions are injected into the affected shoulder ligaments, tendons, or joints. And this leads to gentle, local inflammation in that specific area that boosts healing. Also, the localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. And new collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligaments that were injected, making them stronger.\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Elbow Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> 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, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. And Prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment. Because movement actually aids the healing process after <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a>. By contrast, elbow surgery requires you reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nWould you like a <strong>second opinion before you have irreversible elbow surgery</strong>? And are you a candidate for Prolotherapy for your chronic elbow pain? The only way to know for sure is to get a consultation. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact Us today</a> for a consultation or call Dr. Fields at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a>.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Prolotherapy for Elbow Pain','','inherit','closed','closed','','524-revision-v1','','','2021-01-26 23:30:07','2021-01-26 23:30:07','',524,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/524-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4440,8,'2021-01-26 23:30:53','2021-01-26 23:30:53','<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics for Chronic, Persistent Hip Pain</h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason patients with hip pain come to OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is to avoid hip replacement surgery. And the pain is usually due to damage caused by hip arthritis. The majority of these folks have received years of different types of treatments such as multiple cortisone injections, prescriptions for NSAIDs (which actually degenerate articular cartilage further), and other therapies that have failed to sufficiently relieve their pain. They have tried the different treatments offered by their doctor and orthopedic surgeons, only to find that they haven’t worked.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The degenerative arthritis in their hip hasn’t stopped, and their hips just aren’t functioning like they want or need them to. And now, their “ortho doc” is recommending hip replacement. But they don’t want that and are looking for a way to avoid the surgery! That\'s why they choose Regenerative Orthopedics. The treatment gives them a non-surgical option and an alternative to hip replacement surgery.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Hip Pain and Arthritis</b></h4>\r\n<b></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hip is a ball and socket joint that connects the leg to the pelvis. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has very large ligaments that work to stabilize the hip and prevent injuries. Also, the hip joint has a ring of cartilage that seals the ball and socket called the labrum. And the labrum helps to provide movement between the leg and pelvis. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overuse injuries or traumatic injuries to these various soft tissue structures damage them (ligaments, tendons, and/or hip labrum) and put into motion the arthritis cycle. As this cycle progresses, arthritis pain becomes a source of persistent and often unrelenting pain and disability, which puts a damper on </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">everyday activities. And the symptoms can make even the simplest of tasks difficult to accomplish. That is why so many people turn to Regenerative Orthopedics for Chronic Hip Pain treatment.</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4><b>What Causes Hip Pain?</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic hip pain. Symptoms may include pain while driving or pain with sitting for longer periods of time. And other symptoms include limited motion in the hip, with stiffness, pain, and soreness. Have you started to waddle? Waddling is definitely something we observe in those with hip arthritis.</span>\r\n<h4><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis, and the loss of cartilage that accompanies it, did not just happen overnight! </span></em></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At some point the hip joint becomes destabilized by injury. Most of our patients can recall some type of trauma to the hip. Or even a previous hip procedure. And traumas will injure the ligaments, tendons, and labrum, which set the hip joint up to be unstable. The ongoing instability causes abnormal motion in the hip joint which wears out and promotes degeneration of the hip structures. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when the abnormal motion is not repaired and stabilized, the arthritis cycle is encouraged. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abnormal motion leads to wear of the joint structures, which causes more abnormality in the hip motion. And that destroys the hip joint further.  </span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4><strong>How does surgery cause arthritis to worsen? </strong></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In surgeries, like hip arthroscopy, the surgeon reshapes, shaves, and/or removes structures in the hip. The cutting, shaving, and scraping of the hip joint structures worsens the instability. Surgery itself stretches out the ligaments and tendons of the hip.  Just by inserting the large arthroscope into the hip stretches and weakens the ligaments and tendons. In the end, this all adds to the abnormal motion and instability of the joint. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement, and hip dysplasia are a few other structural hip disorders that can cause chronic joint pain and promote ongoing joint instability. And later, the development of arthritis. Surgeons may recommend surgery for all of these conditions.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider non-surgical Regenerative Orthopedics prior to opting for surgery. </span>\r\n<h4><b>Regenerative Orthopedics Treats Chronic Hip Pain</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have other treatments failed to give you the relief from pain you seek, or the return to function you once enjoyed? Regenerative Orthopedics are very successful at changing many patients lives for the better by decreasing pain and stiffness levels, boosting exercise ability, and lowering or eliminating the need for pain medication. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with other joints, musculoskeletal pain is usually due to weakness in the ligaments, tendons and other soft tissue, like the labrum. Regenerative Orthopedics can strengthen the weak and injured soft tissue, repair the injury, and </span><b>regenerate damaged tissue, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which ultimately alleviates and resolves the pain.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The regenerative solutions are injected into the affected hip ligaments, tendons, labrum, and associated joint structures. This stimulates the body’s natural healing cascade to initiate repair to the area. New collagen is deposited. And since this is the material in which ligaments and tendons are made, the result is tightened and stronger soft tissue structures.</span>\r\n<h4><strong>Our goal at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. </strong></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedic solutions are very safe, affordable options that allow you to keep working, training, and living a normal life without the need for an extended recovery process. And in cases of severe degeneration, the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy may be recommended for optimal repair and return to function.  </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you receive Regenerative Orthopedic treatments for chronic hip pain, movement will be encouraged, rather than immobilization, because movement is important, and even essential to the healing process.</span>\r\n<h4><b>Are You A Candidate for Regenerative Orthopedics for Chronic Hip Pain?</b></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would you like a </span><b>second opinion before you have irreversible hip surgery for your unrelenting, chronic hip pain</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?  Schedule a consultation and find out if you are a good candidate for our Regenerative Orthopedic treatments. </span><a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact us today</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for a consultation, or call OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> at </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[phone]</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Hip Pain Solutions','','inherit','closed','closed','','2665-revision-v1','','','2021-01-26 23:30:53','2021-01-26 23:30:53','',2665,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2665-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4441,8,'2021-01-26 23:31:27','2021-01-26 23:31:27','<h4>Stop Back Pain and the Endless Cycle of Chasing Symptoms</h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So many people suffer with back pain, stuck in a cycle of pain medications, hours of therapy appointments, more prescription medications, over the counter medications, supplements, and more therapy. Only to continue to suffer from continued back pain. The cycle is an attempt to manage the pain. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might think, “Of course, I want to manage the pain!” But what if there is a better way, and one that actually corrects the back pain problem. Regenerative Orthopedics can stop back pain and the cycle because it repairs the underlying source of pain. Since it treats at the source, it ends up resolving the pain.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Chasing symptoms keeps the sufferer in the pain cycle. Correcting the problems with Regenerative Orthopedics can stop back pain and the endless cycle!</span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>What Is the Reason Behind Most Back Pain?</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since back pain is so common and a leading cause of disability, it is important to look at the reason for it. The underlying cause of most back pain issues is </span><b><i>spinal instability</i></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is spinal instability you might ask? When you bend and twist and tweak your back, you injure soft tissue, like muscle and ligaments. Muscles have a great blood supply, so they heal quickly. Ligaments have a poor blood supply, and take quite a while to heal. In fact, they heal quite poorly. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unhealed ligaments are weak and lax, similar to stretched out rubber bands. Ligaments connect bone to bone. So if the ligaments are weak, then the bone connection will be weak and wobbly. That bone connection or joint is then unstable. </span>\r\n<h3>The Vertebral Spine</h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The vertebral bones in the back make up the spine. So when the ligaments in the spine are weak or wobbly, that makes for spinal instability. When these ligaments remain unhealed, the problem gets worse and worse. The ligaments get more lax and the spine becomes more unstable. You can imagine that if the joints of the spine become wobbly, that the bony structures will have difficulty moving like they should. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When motion in the vertebral joint connections stops being smooth, the abnormal motion causes the joint structures to degenerate. Instability and abnormal joint motion is behind all types of painful back conditions. Painful problems like bulging discs, arthritis, sciatica, and degenerative joint disease can result from abnormal motion in the spine.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The underlying problem is ligament weakness, which creates the abnormal joint motion that will eventually damage the joint structures and elicit pain. Pain pills aren’t able to fix the weakened ligaments. And cortisone makes soft tissue weaker. So even if these things provide some short-term relief, they will eventually worsen the problem in the long run. Massage can’t strengthen weakened ligaments either.</span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4><em>Regenerative Orthopedics Can Stop Back Pain</em></h4>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What’s the solution? The degenerative condition needs a regenerative treatment. Regenerative Orthopedics, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy are all regenerative treatments that strengthen ligaments, restore normal joint motion, and regenerate joint structures. Good quality <a href=\"https://lyfebotanicals.com/health/turmeric-back-pain/\">supplements</a>, like turmeric, which can aid in the healing process, are also of benefit.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ligaments Are Structures that Provide Stability to the Joint</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, the most common cause of unresolved back pain is spinal instability, due to weakened and stretched out ligaments. Ligaments are very important for stability of the spine and for proper motion. In fact, they are some of the main stabilizing structure for the joint. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, those with back pain will definitely complain of muscle spasms and tightness, because muscles help with stability too. But muscles will spasm because they are overcompensating for the inability of the injured ligaments to keep the spine in place. Treatments that relieve muscle spasms will give temporary reprieve of the spasms. But they will not address the ligament weakness. Instability and pain will continue, because the ligaments are unable to hold the adjacent bones of the spine together properly.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>How Can You Stop Back Pain?</b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year, thousands and thousands of people are disabled due to some type of painful back condition. Back pain is actually one of the main reasons people come to see us at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>. By the time they come to see us, they have usually tried numerous types of pills, treatments, and even surgery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But they are in our office because the pain has not stopped!</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> That’s because these other treatments are only short-lived and because they only provide temporary relief. Even surgical treatments end up with poor rates of success. Surgery may emphasize treatment of the disc, for example, but it misses treating the ligament injury which is the originating source of the pain. So pain continues.</span>\r\n<h3>Ligaments Can Refer Pain Too</h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The places where the ligaments attach to the bones are full of nerves, which elicit pain when stretched out or injured. Injured ligaments can send out referral pain down the back of the leg and even to the foot. They can also refer pain into the groin and pelvic floor. If weak ligaments exist, the physician knowledgeable in examination techniques can diagnose instability during the physical examination with varied maneuvers and positioning. Even palpating, or pressing with the thumb at the ligament attachments will elicit pain indicating ligament laxity.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back pain is one of the easiest conditions to treat with Regenerative Orthopedics. Most often, the pain is located in the lower back, where the vertebrae of the lumbar spine meet the pelvis. Four structures adjoin there in a pretty small area, with all of it held together by ligaments, connecting the sacrum to the sides of the iliac crest and the ilium, while the lower part of the lumbar spine connects to the sacrum. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regenerative Orthopedics to the ligaments in this area strengthens the ligaments and their connecting attachments, making the whole area stronger, more stable, and alleviating the pain. Treatment to the back results in a high rate of improvement, with increased functional abilities, a return to desired activities and exercise, and a reduction and usually the elimination of the need for pain medication. </span>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>','Stop Back Pain with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','2760-revision-v1','','','2021-01-26 23:31:27','2021-01-26 23:31:27','',2760,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/2760-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4442,8,'2021-01-26 23:32:08','2021-01-26 23:32:08','<div class=\"youtube-click-div video_left\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"aXwHPE_WEd0\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Chris-Hip-injury.jpg\" alt=\"Prolotherapy Hip Injury\'\"]\r\n<strong>Chris - Hip</strong></div>\r\n<h4>Prolotherapy for Hip and Groin Injuries</h4>\r\nHip and groin injuries can quickly become debilitating and escalate into athletic career ending injuries.

The patella or kneecap sits to the front of these bones. The femur and tibia are connected by the four main ligaments at the knee, the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (ACL and PCL, found deep within the knee joint) and the Medial (MCL) and Lateral (LCL) Collateral Ligaments (on either side of the joint).\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\nThere are also two forms of cartilage in the knee, including articular cartilage, which protects the ends of both bones and the back of the patella allowing for smooth movement. The meniscus is another type of cartilage, which consists of two semicircular discs providing cushioning and support for the bones. Our knees are extremely vulnerable to injury in one or a combination of these elements. In the case of a knee injury, we recommend our <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Regenerative Orthopedic</a> knee treatments to strengthen and repair damaged tissue, ligaments, and tendons, to get you back quickly to the activities you love.\r\n<h4>How Regenerative Orthopedics Works to Treat the Knee</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics are innovative therapies that treat the knee by stimulating the immune system to repair damaged tissue. Prolotherapy is one type of regenerative treatment that is effective for knee injuries. \"Prolo\" comes from the word proliferate, and Prolotherapy then describes the therapy which boosts the proliferation of fibroblastic cells that stimulate the growth of the ligaments and tendons. The proliferation of the fibroblasts encourages new, strong, tissue to be formed. Why is this important? Because this new tissue is exactly what is needed to repair ligament, tendon, and meniscus injuries.\r\n\r\nIn some cases of knee injury, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) may be recommended. The blood platelets in Platelet Rich Plasma contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Certain injuries will require more potent means for healing and regeneration. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that have the potential to greatly accelerate the normal healing process, naturally.\r\n\r\nThe use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair, and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, and the menisci of the knee joint.\r\n\r\nReceive treatment for your knee injuries with comprehensive Regenerative Orthopedics at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\" style=\"display: block; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy?</h4>\r\nPeter A.

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\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\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.

Get back in the game with Prolotherapy and Dr. Peter A. Fields, The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup>. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> 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.

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<sup>®</sup>. 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/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">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<h4>Are You A Candidate for Non- Surgical Sports Injuries Treatment?</h4>\r\nDr. Fields and our staff at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup> 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/stem-cell-treatment/\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a>.

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>\n\nWatch the testimonials on this page, or see many more on our <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Testimonials/Cellular-Regeneration-Testimonials/\">Testimonials Page</a>.\n<div class=\"clear\"></div>\n<h4>Who Needs Stem Cell Treatment?</h4>\nStem Cell Treatment for Joints and Spine is a great alternative for people who have been told they need joint replacement surgery. At OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, 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>.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>If you have been told</strong> that you have any of these conditions...\n<ul>\n 	<li>Bone-on-bone</li>\n 	<li>Severe arthritis</li>\n 	<li>A degenerated joint</li>\n 	<li>Your cartilage has been worn away,</li>\n 	<li>The only option left is to have your joint replaced...</li>\n</ul>\n...you now have another option.\n\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.\n<h4>What is our Stem Cell Procedure for Joints and Spine?</h4>\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.\n<ul>\n 	<li>We use bone marrow stem cells as well as adipose (fat) stem cells.</li>\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>\n 	<li>We then use <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/prp-treatment/\">PRP Prolotherapy</a> to accelerate their healing.</li>\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>\n</ul>\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.\n\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.\n\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>\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\n<h4>Why Stem Cell Therapy Works: Types of Stem Cells</h4>\n<strong>Bone Marrow Stem Cells</strong>\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.\n\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.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n\n<strong>Adipose Stem Cells </strong>\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.\n\n<img class=\"alignleft wp-image-732 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell1\" width=\"215\" height=\"167\" />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).\n\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.”\n<h4>Research On Stem Cell Treatment for Joints</h4>\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.\n\n<img class=\"alignright wp-image-735 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" />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).\n\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.\n<h3><strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong></h3>\nThe patients showed significant functional improvement. Two of the patients underwent arthroscopy after the transplantation and showed near normal articular cartilage.

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.

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<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\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 class=\"alignleft wp-image-732 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell1.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell1\" width=\"215\" height=\"167\" />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<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=\"alignright wp-image-735 size-full\" title=\"stem cell treatment los angeles\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell2.jpg\" alt=\"Stem Cell2\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" />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<h3><strong>Stem Cell Treatment Results</strong></h3>\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.

Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy, or PRP Prolotherapy) are treatments for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury or pain that can help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\n<h4>Why Do Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments Work?</h4>\n[caption id=\"attachment_642\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<img class=\"wp-image-642 size-full\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/running.jpg\" alt=\"Running\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" /> <em>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments can help to keep you running</em>[/caption]\n\nYour blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that can greatly and naturally accelerate the normal healing process. The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n<h4>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments vs. Dextrose Prolotherapy Treatment</h4>\nThe main difference between PRP Prolotherapy treatment and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> treatment is the solution being used. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.), which causes an inflammatory response that stimulates the healing process.\n\nBy contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood. A small amount of your own blood is drawn, and after filtering out the rest of the cells and plasma, a small amount of platelets remain. This highly concentrated amount of platelets — from 7 to 10 times that of normal blood — can be injected into the damaged areas and catalyze new soft-tissue growth.\n\nThe use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\n<h4>Which Treatment is Right For Me?</h4>\nMost organizations and the physicians associated with them teach Prolotherapy, and PRP agree that <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> should be tried first.\n<ul>\n 	<li><strong>It is less painful.</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>Prolotherapy primes the area that is damaged, which PRP does not.\n</strong></li>\n 	<li><strong>It is less expensive.</strong></li>\n</ul>\nSince Prolotherapy can usually fix at least 80 - 85% of injuries, it is the first best choice. If healing is not attained with Prolotherapy, then PRP would be your next logical choice.\n\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\n<h4>PRP Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions</h4>\n<h4><em><strong>What is PRP Treatment?</strong></em></h4>\nPRP, as used in Regenerative Orthopedics, is a non-surgical healing treatment for healing soft tissue. The solution 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.\n<h4><em>What does PRP mean?</em></h4>\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood that contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The Harvest Method that OrthoRegen and Peter A.

Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy, or PRP Prolotherapy) are treatments for acute or chronic musculoskeletal injury or pain that can help you avoid the pain, complications, and recovery time associated with joint surgery.\r\n<h4>Why Do Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments Work?</h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_642\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"200\"]<img class=\"wp-image-642 size-full\" title=\"prp acl repair\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/running.jpg\" alt=\"Running\" width=\"200\" height=\"265\" /> <em>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments can help to keep you running</em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nYour blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site. Concentrated platelets contain large reservoirs of growth factors that can greatly and naturally accelerate the normal healing process. The use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\"> Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n<h4>Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments vs. Dextrose Prolotherapy Treatment</h4>\r\nThe main difference between PRP Prolotherapy treatment and <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Dextrose Prolotherapy</a> treatment is the solution being used. Dextrose Prolotherapy involves the injection of a proliferant (a mild irritant solution – dextrose, phenol, glycerin, etc.), which causes an inflammatory response that stimulates the healing process.\r\n\r\nBy contrast, the PRP treatment solution is derived from your own blood. A small amount of your own blood is drawn, and after filtering out the rest of the cells and plasma, a small amount of platelets remain. This highly concentrated amount of platelets — from 7 to 10 times that of normal blood — can be injected into the damaged areas and catalyze new soft-tissue growth.\r\n\r\nThe use of concentrated growth factors is considered by many to be an exciting and new cutting edge therapy that can stimulate tissue repair and regenerate weakened torn or damaged ligaments, ligaments, and joints.\r\n<h4>Which Treatment is Right For Me?</h4>\r\nMost organizations and the physicians associated with them teach Prolotherapy, and PRP agree that <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-treatment-overview/\">Prolotherapy</a> should be tried first.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>It is less painful.</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Prolotherapy primes the area that is damaged, which PRP does not.\r\n</strong></li>\r\n 	<li><strong>It is less expensive.</strong></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nSince Prolotherapy can usually fix at least 80 - 85% of injuries, it is the first best choice. If healing is not attained with Prolotherapy, then PRP would be your next logical choice.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4>PRP Treatment: Frequently Asked Questions</h4>\r\n<h4><em><strong>What is PRP Treatment?</strong></em></h4>\r\nPRP, as used in Regenerative Orthopedics, is a non-surgical healing treatment for healing soft tissue. The solution 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<h4><em>What does PRP mean?</em></h4>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood that contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The Harvest Method that OrthoRegen and Peter A. Fields, MD, DC uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in the blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n<h4><em>What conditions are treated with PRP?</em></h4>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci, or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures treated.

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.\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. And it strengthens 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 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>.\r\n\r\nProlotherapy is an excellent alternative to <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Cortisone-Is-it-Really-Good-for-You\">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\nProlotherapy 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. And it is effective at treating many causes of 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.\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<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<h4 class=\"text-center\">Video: What is Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\n<div style=\"display: table; margin: 0 auto;\">[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"scdadG1A2Vk\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Dextrose-Prolotherapy-Overview.jpg\" alt=\"Dextrose Prolotherapy Overview\"]</div>\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/regenerative-techniques/prolotherapy-videos/\">View More Videos on Prolotherapy</a>\r\n<h4>Are You A Candidate for Prolotherapy Treatment?</h4>\r\nCall <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</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.

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. Occasionally some of our patients have reported some relief of pain after only two sessions.\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"3\" name=\"3\"></a>3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</strong>\n\nOnce treated, the problem should be fixed. Healing will continue to take place for at least one year following treatment. Of course, if there is an injury or insult to the area treated, an additional treatment maybe needed\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"4\" name=\"4\"></a>4) Is this the same thing as cortisone shots</strong><strong>?</strong>\n\nLong term studies have shown that cortisone injections actually weaken tissue. 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.\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"></a>5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</strong>\n\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.\n\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"6\" name=\"6\"></a>6) Do the Treatments Hurt?</strong>\n\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.\n\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>\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"7\" name=\"7\"></a>7) Will my insurance cover this and what are the fees?</strong>\n\nFor information regarding insurence and fees <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/common-questions/\">Click Here</a> to visit out common questions section.\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\n<strong><a id=\"8\" name=\"8\"></a>8) Is it advisable to drive or work after Prolotherapy?</strong>\n\nYou can drive after you receive Prolotherapy.

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. Occasionally some of our patients have reported some relief of pain after only two sessions.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"3\" name=\"3\"></a>3) Will I need to continue care after treatment?</strong>\r\n\r\nOnce treated, the problem should be fixed. Healing will continue to take place for at least one year following treatment. Of course, if there is an injury or insult to the area treated, an additional treatment maybe needed\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"4\" name=\"4\"></a>4) Is this the same thing as cortisone shots</strong><strong>?</strong>\r\n\r\nLong term studies have shown that cortisone injections actually weaken tissue. 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=\"#\"><strong>Top</strong></a></div>\r\n<strong><a id=\"5\" name=\"5\"></a>5) Is Prolotherapy safe?</strong>\r\n\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\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><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=\"#\"><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\n\r\nFor information regarding insurence and fees <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/about/common-questions/\">Click Here</a> to visit out common questions section.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"#\"><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\n\r\nYou can drive after you receive Prolotherapy.

This could last from 2 to 7 days. If it lasts longer it is best to call back and keep us informed on how you are doing.\r\n\r\n<strong>Driving and working</strong>: You can drive after you receive Prolotherapy. You may feel a little stiff but will be able to continue with your activities of daily living. We do suggest walking for about five minutes before driving. You will also be capable of working.

Apply moist heat to the area every 20-30 minutes too. If that does not work, which it usually does in 90% of the cases, you can call the office for a prescription pain medicine.\r\n\r\n<strong>Numbness: </strong> You may notice some numbness post treatment. This is not unusual as we have nerves all over our bodies and a needle may have irritated one. If this happens, your nerve will heal itself over time. Contact us if burning pain is noted, as medication is important for that symptom.\r\n\r\n<strong>Bruising: </strong> Bruising is quite common; do not be alarmed by it. Bruising is good for us, as it has growth factors in it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Exercising:  </strong>Exercising is encouraged, but please do not over do it. Pay attention to what your body tells you. If it hurts, take a break! Do not push yourself just because you feel better. You may pay for it later. Use heat to help calm pain or spasms.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remember that the use of anti-inflammatory medicines and ice are contraindicated.</strong>\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.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%; margin: 0 auto;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a>','Post Treatment','','inherit','closed','closed','','408-revision-v1','','','2021-01-28 20:23:35','2021-01-28 20:23:35','',408,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/408-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4467,8,'2021-01-28 20:31:24','2021-01-28 20:31:24','<h2 class=\"text-center\">Contact Dr. Fields</h2>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To find out if you are a candidate for Stem Cell, PRP or Prolotherapy, call Dr. Fields office at <a href=\"tel:310-453-1234\">310-453-1234</a>, or fill out the Consultation form here.</strong></p>\r\n<div style=\"margin: 0 auto; max-width: 275px;\">\r\n<a href=\"https://www.carecredit.com/go/762HNB/bb3poscustacqbtnclk08132020/?dtc=Ds5X&promocode=CLT/\"><img width=\"275\" style=\"max-width:100%;\" src=\"https://www.carecredit.com/sites/pc/image/carecredit_button_applynow_280x100_a_v1.jpg\"/></a></div>\r\n<div class=\"contact-frm\">[gravityform id=\"1\" title=\"false\" description=\"false\"]</div>','Contact','','inherit','closed','closed','','29-revision-v1','','','2021-01-28 20:31:24','2021-01-28 20:31:24','',29,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/29-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4468,9,'2021-01-29 23:06:06','2021-01-29 23:06:06','<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">                Cortisone - Is it Really Good for You?</h1>\n[caption id=\"attachment_1084\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"380\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1084 \" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/older-man-pain.jpg\" alt=\"Cortisone Injections\" width=\"380\" height=\"571\" /> <em><strong>Cortisone-Is It Really Good for You?</strong></em>[/caption]\n\nMany people get cortisone injections to help with knee pain, hip pain, or pain in another joint. If it helps with pain, then it must be right for you. But is cortisone really good for you? Not really. Sure, cortisone may help to alleviate pain temporarily. But what is the trade-off?\n<h3>Cortisone Weakens the Ligament-bone Junction</h3>\nIf the goal is to weaken your ligament-bone junction eventually, then cortisone just may do that. And of course, that is not what anyone wants. But studies \"suggest that negative structural outcomes including accelerated osteoarthritis progression, subchondral insufficiency fracture, complications of pre-existing osteonecrosis, and rapid joint destruction (including bone loss) may be observed in patients who received intra-articular corticosteroid injections.\"1  Cortisone and other steroid injections, unfortunately, have detrimental effects on articular cartilage. And eventually, the result is a weakened joint and the development of a degenerated joint.\n<h3>How Do Cortisone Injections Adversely Affect the Joint?</h3>\nCortisone injections inhibit the synthesis of proteins, collagen, and proteoglycans in articular cartilage, by inhibiting chondrocyte production, the cells that comprise and produce the articular cartilage. The net catabolic (breakdown) effect of steroids is inhibition of fibroblast production of collagen, ground substance, and new blood vessel formation. The result is weakened synovial joints, supporting structures, articular cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. <em><strong>This weakness increases the pain...and the increased pain leads to more steroid injections.</strong></em>\n<h3>Cortisone Leads to Weakness of the Fibro-osseous Junction of the Joint</h3>\nSteroids also limit calcium absorption by the gastrointestinal tract, inactivate <a href=\"/Articles/Health-News/Vitamin-D-Its-Not-Just-For-Bones-Anymore\">vitamin D</a> and increase the urinary excretion of calcium. Bone also shows a decrease in calcium uptake with cortisone use, ultimately leading to weakness at the fibro-osseous junction. Corticosteroids also inhibit the release of growth hormone, which further decreases soft tissue and bone repair. Ultimately, corticosteroids lead to a decrease in bone, ligament, and tendon strength.\n\nAlthough anti-inflammatory medications and steroid injections reduce pain, they do so at the cost of destroying tissue. In one study, some joints were injected only one time. Even after one steroid injection, cartilage remained biochemically and metabolically impaired. Other studies have confirmed similar harmful effects of steroids on joint and cartilage tissue. A cortisone shot can permanently damage joints.\n<h3>If Cortisone Weakens My Joint, Then What Other Option Do I Have?</h3>\nCortisone does degenerate joints. But these injections are not your only option. Fortunately, there are other injections that are regenerative in nature. Regenerative Orthopedic options, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, actually encourage repair and regeneration of the joint. Regenerative injection alternative, like <a title=\"Prolotherapy\" href=\"/Prolotherapy/Dextrose-Prolotherapy\">Prolotherapy, </a>  have the opposite effect of cortisone. They actually strengthen the joints, ligaments, and tendons.\n<h3>What If I Need to Get Quick Relief?</h3>\nSome professional athletes and weekend warriors want quick relief. But the problem with choosing cortisone for quick relief, is that even though the athlete may get pain relief at the moment, it may be at the expense of a permanent inability to participate in athletics. Athletes often receive cortisone shots in order to play. They return to the playing field with an injury after getting a steroid injection to relieve the pain. Unfortunately, they cannot feel the pain anymore...so they play as if there was no injury. We know (see above) that the injury could not possibly be healed because of the tremendous anti-healing properties of cortisone. Thus, the athlete can further injure the joint while playing on an injury, plus can add to the problem by weakening the joint from the cortisone itself. The result of this choice is worsening of the already bad injury.\n\nBottom line- get a “quick fix” with steroid injections and set yourself up for further damage.

But it\'s always important to stay within our range of abilities when exercising. Why? Because going from little or no exercise to a vigorous regimen can set you up for injuries.\r\n\r\nOf course, injuries can happen to people from all levels of ability. Yes, even professional athletes and avid exercisers get injured. Exercise injuries can occur suddenly, like during a fall or after lifting weights that are too heavy. They can also be more subtle and transpire over weeks or months. An example of a more subtle injury would be an injury that occurs from using poor form over and over.\r\n\r\nThe risk of injury is genuine from overtraining, poor abdominal support, too lengthy runs, unfamiliarity with gym equipment or exercises, and the use of poor technique or posture. And typical injuries for those who are not used to working out include back pain, tendinitis, and pulled muscles.\r\n<h4>Tips to Prevent Exercise Injuries Before They Occur</h4>\r\nLet\'s review some tips that can be followed to try to avoid exercise injuries before they happen. When exercising, it\'s better to begin by staying closer to the intensity of activity we are accustomed to. For example, don\'t go immediately from low intensity to high intensity. Going from zero to 60 in a workout regimen can set you up for exercise injuries.\r\n\r\nSecondly, pick activities within your fitness and balance levels and those your body can handle. If the goal is to improve general health and not be sedentary, it\'s wise to progress slowly while listening to your body. There is no need to begin with throwing around heavy weights and doing intense workouts. Keep in mind that after periods of inactivity, running, and even vigorous walking can be damaging or cause an exercise injury. Start slowly and work up to longer times and distances.\r\n<h4>But I Was An Athlete in High School, So I Can Exercise Harder!</h4>\r\nSure, you may have been a distance runner in high school. But that doesn’t mean you can jump right into that level of running without proper training. To prevent exercise injuries, start by easing your way into new exercise routines and gradually build up to heavier weights, faster or longer bike rides, and a more vigorous walking or jogging routine.\r\n<h4>Be Aware of Putting Too Much Strain On Your Joints and Overuse Injuries</h4>\r\nPeople make a common mistake by working through the pain felt while exercising, thinking it will eventually go away. The repeated injury from the use of poor form, puts too much strain on the joints. These exercise injuries are referred to as overuse injuries and are typical injuries seen by physicians. Tendonitis is an example of an overuse injury from repetitive activity that aggravates the joint. <strong><em>I</em><em>t’s normal to experience muscle soreness after working out, but when that pain lasts more than a few days, that exercise injury has not healed, and it’s time to talk to your doctor.</em></strong>\r\n\r\nSeeking the advice of a physician before initiating an exercise program is always recommended. Use a trainer to educate and supervise for proper form, use of equipment, and variety and frequency of exercise. Even those who are accustomed to exercise may also become injured with overuse injuries. So always be aware of the repeated stress various exercises can place on joints, and use proper body mechanics and posturing.\r\n<h4>What Happens When Injuries Are Not Addressed?</h4>\r\nUnaddressed exercise injuries, overuse injuries, and cumulative traumas can damage the joint’s ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. Whether you are riding the waves, running on the beach, pounding the pavement, or climbing some new height, the repetitive low-grade impact can be enough to damage the soft tissues.\r\n\r\nWhen these injuries are not addressed and the soft tissue is not repaired, degeneration of the joint can occur. Unhealed soft tissue makes the joint unstable, which allows for extra and abnormal motion in the joint. These unhealed sports injuries can frequently lead to symptomatic arthritis in later years due to the injured ligaments that cause instability and abnormal joint motion.\r\n\r\nIn an attempt to stabilize the joint, painful muscle spasms may occur at first. Over time, the body will deposit calcium along the lines of stress, producing bone spurs. Bone spurs are typically a sign that the ligaments were no longer able to stabilize the joint. And the body has sent in reinforcement in the form of additional bone. Arthritis has taken place!\r\n<h4>Treating Exercise and Sports Injuries with Regenerative Orthopedics</h4>\r\nStandard treatments for musculoskeletal injuries resulting in joint pain usually involve symptom management utilizing NSAIDs, cortisone injections, physical therapy, and chiropractic to provide pain relief. These modalities can often provide relief for sports injuries, but for those who have already exhausted these methods and continue to experience pain, Regenerative Orthopedics should be sought. If cartilage damage has taken place, Stem Cell Therapy may be part of the treatment plan.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics, including Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, are great treatment options that are very effective for injuries that arise from overzealous exercising. Plus, these non-surgical treatments repair those injuries that occur during athletic events, regenerating the damaged ligaments and soft tissue and allowing the exerciser and athlete to continue with their desired activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>If you’ve injured yourself while trying a new exercise or sport or are a regular exerciser or athlete with a sports injury, Regenerative Orthopedics can get you back to the activity you love.</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/testimonials/video-testimonials/\">Click here to watch videos from patients who have received Regenerative Orthopedics.</a>','Injured While Exercising?','','inherit','closed','closed','','1414-revision-v1','','','2021-02-03 01:54:59','2021-02-03 01:54:59','',1414,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1414-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4473,9,'2021-02-03 01:56:40','2021-02-03 01:56:40','Exercising At Home (1) Copy','Exercising At Home (1) Copy','Exercising At Home (1) Copy','inherit','open','closed','','exercising-at-home-1-copy','','','2021-02-03 01:56:40','2021-02-03 01:56:40','',1414,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Exercising-at-home-1-copy.png',0,'attachment','image/png',0),(4474,9,'2021-02-03 02:08:45','2021-02-03 02:08:45','[caption id=\"attachment_4473\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"400\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4473\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Exercising-at-home-1-copy-400x500.png\" alt=\"Exercising At Home (1) Copy\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>                       Injured While Exercising?</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n<h3>Injured While Exercising?</h3>\r\n<strong><em>Many of us are love exercising.</em></strong> And that\'s good because exercise is so much better for us than inactivity.

Plus, these non-surgical treatments repair those injuries that occur during athletic events, regenerating the damaged ligaments and soft tissue and allowing the exerciser and athlete to continue with their desired activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>If you’ve injured yourself while trying a new exercise or sport or are a regular exerciser or athlete with a sports injury, Regenerative Orthopedics can get you back to the activity you love.</strong>\r\n\r\nFor more information about sports injuries and older athletes, read our article on <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/regenerative-orthopedics/how-arthritis-affects-older-athletes/\">\"How Arthritis Affects Older Athletes.\" </a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/testimonials/video-testimonials/\">Click here to watch videos from patients who have received Regenerative Orthopedics.</a>','Preventing Exercise Injuries','','inherit','closed','closed','','1414-revision-v1','','','2021-02-03 02:16:10','2021-02-03 02:16:10','',1414,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1414-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4479,9,'2021-02-16 21:48:00','2021-02-16 21:48:00','<div class=\"col-md-8\">\n<h3>Prolotherapy: Finally, A Permanent Way To Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery</h3>\nIf you are like most people who suffer from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, elbow pain, or any other joint pain, you have probably tried to eliminate your joint pain without surgery.

Let me tell you about it...</em></h4>\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter Fields</strong>, and I am the leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics. I am also uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that <strong>you do NOT need to have surgery</strong> to eliminate joint pain in many cases.\n\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery. And there’s an excellent chance that I can do the same for you.\n\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Prolotherapy. </strong> It is one type of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment that helps your body make new cells to repair your joint damage.\n<h4>Why Does My Knee/Hip/Back/Shoulder/Elbow/Neck STILL HURT After All This Time?</h4>\nLet\'s talk about what is behind a lot of the joint pain people experience. Most joint pain is caused by weakened, torn, or damaged tendons or ligaments. These types of soft tissues have very low blood flow. And that inhibits their ability to repair themselves on their own. Plus, to make things even worse, they also have a high number of nerves, causing you pain.\n\nYou may know that the job of tendons and ligaments is to keep your joints aligned and moving properly. But when they are injured, stretched out, and weak...\n<ul>\n 	<li>\n<h5>The cartilage can degenerate and <strong>cause bone-on-bone friction...</strong></h5>\n</li>\n 	<li>\n<h5>Which causes <strong>arthritis-like</strong> pain...</h5>\n</li>\n 	<li>\n<h5>Plus, the nerves surrounding soft tissues become stretched and irritated...</h5>\n</li>\n 	<li>\n<h5>Causing you <strong>even more </strong><strong>pain</strong>.</h5>\n</li>\n</ul>\nUnless you strengthen your tendons and ligaments and restore your joint to its proper, natural alignment and motion, <strong>you will continue to be in pain</strong>.\n\nAnd Regenerative therapies, like Prolotherapy, work to do just that! Prolotherapy is very effective at repairing and strengthening ligaments and tendons.\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Eliminate Chronic Joint Pain Without Surgery?</h4>\nProlotherapy works by increasing nutrient-rich blood cells to the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints. <strong>Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong, and vibrant tissue</strong>.\n\nAs the tissue grows and strengthens, your joint begins to operate properly. And your pain (and the causes of your pain) dissipate. Many of my patients enjoy a <strong>permanent recovery</strong> from their symptoms and go back to living a normal life without joint pain.\n\nThat means you eliminate your pain with <strong>NO surgery, NO hospital stay</strong>, and <strong>NO general anesthesia</strong>.

Most of us have heard about rotator cuff tears and even impingement syndromes. We have probably seen and heard about them in the news. We often hear about professional athletes taken out of the game and possibly facing surgery. But these injuries affect the general public too!\n\nRotator cuff injuries are so common that they affect about a quarter of the population over 50 years of age.1 Many people are opting for surgery to fix their injury. The numbers of surgical repairs are going up and up! In some locations, surgeries are doubling in number, and particular surgeries, like arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs, have increased by 353%. 2,3 But are all of these surgeries really necessary? Especially considering the economic costs, the time needed for rehabilitation, and other personal risks!\n<h3>Non-Surgical Options for Rotator Cuff Injuries</h3>\nIn so many rotator cuff injury cases, Regenerative Orthopedic techniques, like Stem Cell Therapy, PRP, and Prolotherapy, can be used to repair the shoulder. Plus, these treatments effectively repair the injury without the need for surgery. Regenerative Orthopedics has many advantages over surgery. First and foremost, it gets to the root cause of the problem. What do we mean by that? Rotator cuff injuries affect the tendon and ligaments of the shoulder. And treatments like Prolotherapy are especially effective at healing soft tissue like tendons and ligaments.\n\nBesides, Regenerative Orthopedic options require much less rehabilitation time. They also help you avoid the risks associated with rotator cuff surgery, such as frozen shoulder, deep infection, and dislocation.

Among athletes, rotator cuff injuries are more common with pitchers, tennis players, swimmers, and any sport that involves a throwing motion or repeated over-the-head movements. Non-athletes who repeatedly use overhead movements are also at increased risk for rotator cuff injuries. For example, rotator cuff tendinitis occurs when the rotator cuff\'s small muscles become strained, causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis. Left untreated, a chronic condition of tendinosis can develop.\n<h4><em>Impingement Syndrome</em></h4>\nAnother shoulder condition involving the rotator cuff is impingement syndrome. This condition occurs when the <a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> tendon becomes pinched between the head of the humerus and the acromion process during the arm\'s motion raised above the head. This happens because the space gets narrowed, as occurs when the rotator cuff muscles weaken, and the humeral head rides high in the socket.\n\nImpingement can also ensue when bone spurs and calcium deposits narrow the space. Impingement also occurs when the contents of the subacromial space increase in size. This is most often due to a swollen rotator cuff tendon or bursa, which is painfully squeezed between the humeral head and the acromion process.\n<h3>Common Treatments for Rotator Cuff Injuries</h3>\nTreatment for rotator cuff injuries usually includes rest, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and cortisone injections. Cortisone has a substantial anti-inflammatory property, reducing the tendon and bursa\'s swelling and relieving the symptoms. Unfortunately, cortisone has also been found to lead to degeneration of the soft tissue eventually. It\'s so much better to regenerate the joint. And you can get regenerative results with Regenerative Orthopedics.\n\nMany common treatments only provide temporary help. That\'s because the underlying cause is not addressed, and the problem usually returns. Degenerative fraying and tearing of the tendon may occur when the tendon is allowed to be in a constant state of irritation over time. Non-Surgical Regenerative Orthopedics is a great way to address the underlying tendon and ligament injuries and repair all of the involved soft tissue. The result is a re-strengthening of the rotator cuff, an improved shoulder joint, and an excellent chance for a full recovery and performance.\n<h3><a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"/Contact\">To Learn More, Contact Us Today!

And is prolonged sitting or standing for extended periods of time getting more and more difficult? Do you frequently pop or crack your own back to get some relief or are your adjustments not holding? Have you tried all different types of treatments to find some relief?\n<h3>Common Treatment Options for Unrelenting Back Pain</h3>\nDoes this sound like you? It\'s true that many commonly used treatments for back pain can ease some of the pain. For example, sOTC pain medication, NSAIDs, and massage can provide a bit of relief.\n\nWhen the pain persists, some folks with back pain turn to narcotics, steroids,, and even anti-depressants. But these treatment options come with their own set of problems. Oftentimes, back pain becomes chronic, and can last three to six months or more, with the pain returning again and again.\n<h3>Pain Will Continue Until the Underlying Cause Is Addressed</h3>\nSo why don’t these treatments make the pain go away for good? The pain stays because the underlying causative factor has not been repaired. Pain medications, NSAIDs, steroids, and anti-depressants are not reparative. And they do not fix the ligamentous source of the musculoskeletal pain. They may relieve some of the symptoms for a period of time, but they do not correct the problem. Injured ligaments are frequently the root cause of back pain. Therefore, when they remain unrepaired, the back pain sufferer is left with ongoing pain and will continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\n\nChiropractors can provide relief for back pain, with care that is often excellent in many cases. However, there are times when back pain becomes more and more frequent, and the adjustments do not hold. In these instances, the patient experiences pain again only a few days after getting treatment. Ligament and/or tendon injuries are very likely at the root of this back pain problem.\n\nImaging tools, like X-rays and MRI’s, may be helpful in certain situations. But although highly accessible, their usage has not caused the rates of back pain to go down.\n<h3>What Causes Back Pain?</h3>\nBack pain is often the result of an injury, possibly due to sudden movements and poor body mechanics. It may also be due to trauma that transpires during a sports activity, fall,, or motor vehicle accident. Acute injuries, such as minor muscle strains, frequently heal quickly due to the great blood supply and healing capacity of the muscles.\n\nHowever, many back pain sufferers deal with chronic pain, or pain that lasts more than three to six months. And all too often, the underlying cause is not identified. The common denominator for many painful musculoskeletal conditions causing back pain is spinal instability due to injury to the ligaments. <em><strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical treatment that can provide the solution to heal those injured ligaments and get rid of your back pain.</strong></em>\n<h4>Let’s Explain What Happens In Disc Degeneration and Herniated Discs:</h4>\nA herniated disc actually herniates <em><strong>through</strong></em> ligaments. Disc degeneration occurs when ligaments around the spine are injured. That’s why treatment needs to be directed at healing these injured ligaments. Interestingly, when scientists want to induce a disc herniation or degeneration in an animal, they damage the ligaments. After the ligaments are intentionally injured, within a short period of time, the discs will become degenerated or herniated.\n\nLigaments are supportive structures joining bone to bone. In the back or spine, they connect adjacent vertebrae. The ligaments of the back serve as one of the primary stabilizing structures of the spinal column. They help to provide adequate motion and also restrict excessive movement, which protects the spinal column and nerve roots as they exit the spine.\n\nInstability is part of the pathophysiology of the degenerated and herniated disc. When the ligaments around the spine are injured, excessive joint mobility occurs, and the bones (vertebrae) move too much. The extra movement creates unstable vertebrae, which will result in back pain.\n\nWhy does movement lead to pain? The exaggerated motion from instability causes abnormal forces and pressure on the discs between the vertebrae.  And that will eventually produce degeneration of the discs. Disc degeneration eventually leads to arthritis. When the ligaments become stretched out or injured, the muscles tighten and generate pain. You feel this in the form of muscle spasms.\n\nIf the ligaments and/or muscles are unable to stabilize the vertebrae, the body overgrows bone. This overgrowth of bone produces the loss of motion noted in arthritis as the body tries to stabilize the spine.\n<h4>Does Fusion Surgery Help the Instability?</h4>\nFusion surgery can prevent the motion of these segments that are moving excessively. However, the fusion does not resolve the underlying ligament injury. Back pain may continue even after surgery due to damage in other vertebral regions, like the segments above or below the fusions, or the unaddressed ligament injury.\n\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments to the area above and below the disc degeneration strengthen the ligaments, resolve the subluxation and instability, and relieve the back pain. The therapy stabilizes the joint by treating the disc degeneration\'s underlying cause and relieving back pain.\n<h4>Regeneration, Not Surgery</h4>\n[caption id=\"attachment_4960\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"500\"]<img class=\"size-medium wp-image-4960\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Back-Pain.Hauser-500x419.png\" alt=\"Back Pain.hauser\" width=\"500\" height=\"419\" /> <strong>             Prolotherapy and PRP Are Beneficial for Back Pain</strong>[/caption]\n\nRegenerative Orthopedic physicians utilize regenerative injection therapies to stimulate the body to repair the ligaments. Our bodies have exceptional regenerative capabilities. The regenerative medicine approach triggers the body to strengthen the tissue on its own. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Therapy, stimulate the body to heal itself. In the case of unrelenting back pain, regenerative techniques specifically stimulate the repair of the ligaments through which the disc herniates and the ligaments connecting the vertebrae.\n\nOne of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is that the individual can maintain activity and get back to sports or other activities they enjoy without extensive downtime. Treatments 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!\n\nWe strongly recommend looking into Regenerative Orthopedics for those with back pain because it is helpful for many back pain related conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease. Why continue to suffer when you can eliminate back pain with Regenerative Orthopedics.\n\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>','Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','1410-autosave-v1','','','2022-03-26 16:10:11','2022-03-26 16:10:11','',1410,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1410-autosave-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4493,8,'2021-02-11 22:28:55','2021-02-11 22:28:55','<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"slider\">\r\n<div class=\"owl-carousel slider-carousel\">\r\n<div id=\"slide\" class=\"item\" style=\"background-image: url(\'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/header-orthoregen-santa-monica-pier.jpg\');\">\r\n<div class=\"carousel-caption\"><span class=\"header_text_first\">New Article:</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_second\">Keep Looking Forward Despite COVID-19</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_third\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">By Peter A.

And is prolonged sitting or standing for extended periods of time getting more and more difficult? Do you frequently pop or crack your own back to get some relief or are your adjustments not holding? Have you tried all different types of treatments to find some relief?\r\n<h3>Common Treatment Options for Unrelenting Back Pain</h3>\r\nDoes this sound like you? It\'s true that many commonly used treatments for back pain can ease some of the pain. For example, sOTC pain medication, NSAIDs, and massage can provide a bit of relief.\r\n\r\nWhen the pain persists, some folks with back pain turn to narcotics, steroids,, and even anti-depressants. But these treatment options come with their own set of problems. Oftentimes, back pain becomes chronic, and can last three to six months or more, with the pain returning again and again.\r\n<h3>Pain Will Continue Until the Underlying Cause Is Addressed</h3>\r\nSo why don’t these treatments make the pain go away for good? The pain stays because the underlying causative factor has not been repaired. Pain medications, NSAIDs, steroids, and anti-depressants are not reparative. And they do not fix the ligamentous source of the musculoskeletal pain. They may relieve some of the symptoms for a period of time, but they do not correct the problem. Injured ligaments are frequently the root cause of back pain. Therefore, when they remain unrepaired, the back pain sufferer is left with ongoing pain and will continue to experience difficulties in function and quality of life.\r\n\r\nChiropractors can provide relief for back pain, with care that is often excellent in many cases. However, there are times when back pain becomes more and more frequent, and the adjustments do not hold. In these instances, the patient experiences pain again only a few days after getting treatment. Ligament and/or tendon injuries are very likely at the root of this back pain problem.\r\n\r\nImaging tools, like X-rays and MRI’s, may be helpful in certain situations. But although highly accessible, their usage has not caused the rates of back pain to go down.\r\n<h3>What Causes Back Pain?</h3>\r\nBack pain is often the result of an injury, possibly due to sudden movements and poor body mechanics. It may also be due to trauma that transpires during a sports activity, fall,, or motor vehicle accident. Acute injuries, such as minor muscle strains, frequently heal quickly due to the great blood supply and healing capacity of the muscles.\r\n\r\nHowever, many back pain sufferers deal with chronic pain, or pain that lasts more than three to six months. And all too often, the underlying cause is not identified. The common denominator for many painful musculoskeletal conditions causing back pain is spinal instability due to injury to the ligaments. <em><strong>Regenerative Orthopedics is a non-surgical treatment that can provide the solution to heal those injured ligaments and get rid of your back pain.</strong></em>\r\n<h4>Let’s Explain What Happens In Disc Degeneration and Herniated Discs:</h4>\r\nA herniated disc actually herniates <em><strong>through</strong></em> ligaments. Disc degeneration occurs when ligaments around the spine are injured. That’s why treatment needs to be directed at healing these injured ligaments. Interestingly, when scientists want to induce a disc herniation or degeneration in an animal, they damage the ligaments. After the ligaments are intentionally injured, within a short period of time, the discs will become degenerated or herniated.\r\n\r\nLigaments are supportive structures joining bone to bone. In the back or spine, they connect adjacent vertebrae. The ligaments of the back serve as one of the primary stabilizing structures of the spinal column. They help to provide adequate motion and also restrict excessive movement, which protects the spinal column and nerve roots as they exit the spine.\r\n\r\nInstability is part of the pathophysiology of the degenerated and herniated disc. When the ligaments around the spine are injured, excessive joint mobility occurs, and the bones (vertebrae) move too much. The extra movement creates unstable vertebrae, which will result in back pain.\r\n\r\nWhy does movement lead to pain? The exaggerated motion from instability causes abnormal forces and pressure on the discs between the vertebrae.  And that will eventually produce degeneration of the discs. Disc degeneration eventually leads to arthritis. When the ligaments become stretched out or injured, the muscles tighten and generate pain. You feel this in the form of muscle spasms.\r\n\r\nIf the ligaments and/or muscles are unable to stabilize the vertebrae, the body overgrows bone. This overgrowth of bone produces the loss of motion noted in arthritis as the body tries to stabilize the spine.\r\n<h4>Does Fusion Surgery Help the Instability?</h4>\r\nFusion surgery can prevent the motion of these segments that are moving excessively. However, the fusion does not resolve the underlying ligament injury. Back pain may continue even after surgery due to damage in other vertebral regions, like the segments above or below the fusions, or the unaddressed ligament injury.\r\n\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic treatments to the area above and below the disc degeneration strengthen the ligaments, resolve the subluxation and instability, and relieve the back pain. The therapy stabilizes the joint by treating the disc degeneration\'s underlying cause and relieving back pain.\r\n<h4>Regeneration, Not Surgery</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedic physicians utilize regenerative injection therapies to stimulate the body to repair the ligaments. Our bodies have exceptional regenerative capabilities. The regenerative medicine approach triggers the body to strengthen the tissue on its own. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cell Therapy, stimulate the body to heal itself. In the case of unrelenting back pain, regenerative techniques specifically stimulate the repair of the ligaments through which the disc herniates and the ligaments connecting the vertebrae.\r\n\r\nOne of the wonderful things about Regenerative Orthopedics for back pain is that the individual can maintain activity and get back to sports or other activities they enjoy without extensive downtime. Treatments 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\nWe strongly recommend looking into Regenerative Orthopedics for those with back pain because it is helpful for many back pain related conditions, including herniated discs, bulging discs, and degenerative disc disease. Why continue to suffer when you can eliminate back pain with Regenerative Orthopedics.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news\"><strong>Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>','Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics','','inherit','closed','closed','','1410-revision-v1','','','2021-02-11 23:08:34','2021-02-11 23:08:34','',1410,'https://www.drfields.com/uncategorized/1410-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(4498,8,'2021-02-11 23:52:56','2021-02-11 23:52:56','Palm Tree Sky Bg','Palm Tree Sky Bg','Palm Tree Sky Bg','inherit','open','closed','','palm-tree-sky-bg','','','2021-02-11 23:52:56','2021-02-11 23:52:56','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Palm-Tree-Sky-BG.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(4499,8,'2021-02-12 00:03:10','2021-02-12 00:03:10','<div class=\"clear\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"slider\">\r\n<div class=\"owl-carousel slider-carousel\">\r\n<div id=\"slide\" class=\"item\" style=\"background-image: url(\'https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/header-orthoregen-santa-monica-pier.jpg\');\">\r\n<div class=\"carousel-caption\"><span class=\"header_text_first\">New Article:</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_second\">Keep Looking Forward Despite COVID-19</span>\r\n<span class=\"header_text_third\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">By Peter A.

After all, who really wants all the expense, additional pain, and recovery time that joint surgery always requires?\r\n<h4><em>And You\'ve Tried All Kinds of Treatments...</em></h4>\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1685\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"405\"]<img class=\"wp-image-1685 \" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Stem-Cell-Doctor-Peter-Fields-MD-DC.jpg\" alt=\"Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery\" width=\"405\" height=\"643\" /> <em><strong>                  Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery</strong></em>[/caption]\r\n\r\nYou may have tried physical therapy, chiropractic, cortisone shots, NSAIDs (like Ibuprofen or Naprosyn), or even a long list of home remedies...only to discover that if there was any relief from your pain at all, <strong>the relief was only temporary</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd now, since you\'ve tried all of these different things, you are faced with the question of whether you need to get surgery?! You don\'t want surgery, but you are so tired of the pain. What else can you?\r\n<h4><em>There Is An Alternative Way to Eliminate Joint Pain Without Surgery. Let me tell you about it...</em></h4>\r\n<strong>My name is Dr. Peter Fields</strong>, and I am the leading expert in Regenerative Orthopedics. I am also uniquely degreed as both an MD and a Doctor of Chiropractic. I’m here to tell you that <strong>you do NOT need to have surgery</strong> to eliminate joint pain in many cases.\r\n\r\nMy treatments have helped thousands of people resume their normal lives without joint surgery. And there’s an excellent chance that I can do the same for you.\r\n\r\nI am a specialist in a natural, non-surgical method of assisting the body to heal injured tendons and ligaments called <strong>Prolotherapy. </strong> It is one type of Regenerative Orthopedic treatment that helps your body make new cells to repair your joint damage.\r\n<h4>Why Does My Knee/Hip/Back/Shoulder/Elbow/Neck STILL HURT After All This Time?</h4>\r\nLet\'s talk about what is behind a lot of the joint pain people experience. Most joint pain is caused by weakened, torn, or damaged tendons or ligaments. These types of soft tissues have very low blood flow. And that inhibits their ability to repair themselves on their own. Plus, to make things even worse, they also have a high number of nerves, causing you pain.\r\n\r\nYou may know that the job of tendons and ligaments is to keep your joints aligned and moving properly. But when they are injured, stretched out, and weak...\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>The cartilage can degenerate and <strong>cause bone-on-bone friction...</strong></h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Which causes <strong>arthritis-like</strong> pain...</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Plus, the nerves surrounding soft tissues become stretched and irritated...</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n 	<li>\r\n<h5>Causing you <strong>even more </strong><strong>pain</strong>.</h5>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nUnless you strengthen your tendons and ligaments and restore your joint to its proper, natural alignment and motion, <strong>you will continue to be in pain</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnd Regenerative therapies, like Prolotherapy, work to do just that! Prolotherapy is very effective at repairing and strengthening ligaments and tendons.\r\n<h4>How Does Prolotherapy Eliminate Chronic Joint Pain Without Surgery?</h4>\r\nProlotherapy works by increasing nutrient-rich blood cells to the affected area, causing your body to heal and strengthen injured or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints. <strong>Your own body does the work to grow healthy, strong, and vibrant tissue</strong>.\r\n\r\nAs the tissue grows and strengthens, your joint begins to operate properly. And your pain (and the causes of your pain) dissipate. Many of my patients enjoy a <strong>permanent recovery</strong> from their symptoms and go back to living a normal life without joint pain.\r\n\r\nThat means you eliminate your pain with <strong>NO surgery, NO hospital stay</strong>, and <strong>NO general anesthesia</strong>. And isn’t that what you want most?\r\n<h4>Schedule Your Consultation Today</h4>\r\nLet’s get you on the path to recovery without joint surgery. <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Contact my office today</a> or call me at <a href=\"tel:+[phone_raw]\">[phone]</a> and set up a consultation to determine if you are a candidate for Prolotherapy, Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, or Stem Cell Therapy.\r\n<h3>Listen to these testimonials from patients I have treated with Regenerative Orthopedics...</h3>\r\n<div class=\"col-md-6\">\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/Mc4Xo9RTwjw?rel=0&amp;wmode=opaque\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" frameborder=\"0\"></iframe>\r\n<div class=\"text-wrap\">\r\n<p class=\"video-text\"><strong>Christa - Knee </strong></p>\r\n\r\n<h5><em>Christa, a former college athlete, had a knee dislocation with pain and stiffness in her right knee.

However, the real benefits may be affected by differences in injection protocols, comparative regimens, and evaluation scales.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"__sec2\" class=\"sec\">\r\n<h3 id=\"__sec2title\">Methods</h3>\r\n<p id=\"__p2\" class=\"p p-first-last\">PubMed and Scopus were searched from the earliest record until February 2016. One single-arm study and five randomized controlled trials were included, comprising 326 participants. We estimated the effect sizes of pain reduction before and after serial dextrose injections and compared the values between dextrose prolotherapy, comparative regimens, and exercise 6 months after the initial injection.</p>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"__sec3\" class=\"sec\">\r\n<h3 id=\"__sec3title\">Results</h3>\r\n<p id=\"__p3\" class=\"p p-first-last\">Regarding the treatment arm using dextrose prolotherapy, the effect sizes compared with baseline were 0.65 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.14–1.17), 0.84 (95% CI, 0.40–1.27), 0.85 (95% CI, 0.60–1.10), and 0.87 (95% CI, 0.53–1.21) after the first, second, third, and fourth or more injections, respectively.

Avoid Replacement2\" width=\"400\" height=\"500\" /> <em><strong>                   Joint Replacement Alternative</strong></em>[/caption]\n<h3>What\'s Your Joint Replacement Alternative?</h3>\nJoint replacements are on the rise. In fact, they have increased so much that, in the last ten years, knee replacements have more than doubled and hip replacements more than tripled. <sup><strong>1</strong></sup> As life expectancy increases, this number will continue to go up. What\'s the reason for so many?Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee and hip pain, and this condition eventually leads to joint replacement. Other causes of knee and hip pain include bursitis, tendonitis, sports injuries, chondromalacia patellae, ligament injury, meniscal injury, hip impingement, and labral injury, all of which often lead to an eventual surgical recommendation or joint replacement intervention. With all of these problems, am I destined for joint replacement? Or is there a joint replacement alternative?\n<h4>Traditional Therapies for Joint Pain May Buy You Time. But They Aren\'t Joint Replacement Alternatives</h4>\nThere are a lot of common treatments that people with joint pain encounter prior to considering joint replacement. But why don\'t they fix the problem? It seems they just buy you time until the eventual joint replacement. So why is that?\n\nThe goal of traditional therapies is to decrease pain and improve function. Treatments, such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, may help temporarily. They only buy you more time because they are unfortunately unable to actually repair the joint instability or source of the pain.\n\nLet\'s take a look at what\'s behind the problem. The increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, meniscus, labrum, etc. changes the way the joint functions and makes the joint unstable. And that instability makes the soft tissue of the joint even more susceptible to further injury. What is the result? When left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis.\n\nAgain, many conventional treatments do not last in providing pain relief because they fail to repair the instability. They are also unable to prevent the eventual joint replacement. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement, can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\n<h4>NSAIDS and Cortisone Interfere with Healing</h4>\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are conservative, non-surgical therapies generally recommended initially for pain alleviation. Although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain short-term, they do not reverse the disease.\n\nThey do however, inhibit the properties of healing. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Did you know that NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis? Instead, they accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed, and are a catalyst towards joint replacement. That means, instead of being a joint replacement alternative, they actually propel you more quickly towards the problem.\n\nIt is interesting to point out that not long after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into joints way back in the 1950s, reports of terrible joint diseases were already surfacing. And even back then, the intra-articular use of steroids was discouraged. Corticosteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\n<h4>What about the Popular Use of Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Joint Pain? Are They Joint Replacement Alternatives?</h4>\nUnfortunately, those who do find some pain relief from hyaluronic acid, generally only experience short-term results, which are frequently designed to delay the inevitable joint replacement.\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\nAn attempt to eliminate pain or a painful area by the arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue will only delay the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. Arthroscopy is a direct assault to the joint tissue. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may give some temporary relief of symptoms. But in the long-term, it will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. In the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement.\n\nEven athletes, when faced with surgical repair of injuries, like an ACL tear for example, have a low rate of return to sport, and a high rate of new injury. That\'s because surgery makes the joint instability worse, not better. Many surgeries such as labral repair and ACL reconstruction can provide remarkable short-term pain relief. However, the replacement material will not function long-term like the original.\n\nACL grafts and labral repairs with titanium tacks just do not have the same pliability as the original tissue and cannot restore the joint back to normal. Eventually, they will cause problems.\n\nThe athlete or any joint pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or corticosteroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the joint strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Is An Actual Joint Replacement Alternative Because It Repairs the Joint</h4>\nRegenerative Orthopedics can help you to avoid joint replacement by stimulating healing and by repairing the joint. Plus, it does not interfere with the normal healing process of the body. PRP, Prolotherapy, and the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy, as utilized at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics that stimulate the normal reparative mechanisms of the body by laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee and hip labrum, and boosting cartilage growth.\n\nAll of these regenerative therapies work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Platelet Rich Plasma, Prolotherapy, and Stem Cell Therapy offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and to those trying to avoid joint replacement. While surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery.\n\nHave you already had surgery, but continue to experience pain? Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery.

In fact, they have increased so much that, in the last ten years, knee replacements have more than doubled and hip replacements more than tripled. <sup><strong>1</strong></sup> As life expectancy increases, this number will continue to go up. What\'s the reason for so many?Arthritis is the most common cause of chronic knee and hip pain, and this condition eventually leads to joint replacement. Other causes of knee and hip pain include bursitis, tendonitis, sports injuries, chondromalacia patellae, ligament injury, meniscal injury, hip impingement, and labral injury, all of which often lead to an eventual surgical recommendation or joint replacement intervention. With all of these problems, am I destined for joint replacement? Or is there a joint replacement alternative?\r\n<h4>Traditional Therapies for Joint Pain May Buy You Time. But They Aren\'t Joint Replacement Alternatives</h4>\r\nThere are a lot of common treatments that people with joint pain encounter prior to considering joint replacement. But why don\'t they fix the problem? It seems they just buy you time until the eventual joint replacement. So why is that?\r\n\r\nThe goal of traditional therapies is to decrease pain and improve function. Treatments, such as weight loss, exercise, physiotherapy, bracing, and orthotics, may help temporarily. They only buy you more time because they are unfortunately unable to actually repair the joint instability or source of the pain.\r\n\r\nLet\'s take a look at what\'s behind the problem. The increased mechanical stress caused by injury to the ligaments, meniscus, labrum, etc. changes the way the joint functions and makes the joint unstable. And that instability makes the soft tissue of the joint even more susceptible to further injury. What is the result? When left unrepaired, the long-lasting effect of continual joint instability is arthritis.\r\n\r\nAgain, many conventional treatments do not last in providing pain relief because they fail to repair the instability. They are also unable to prevent the eventual joint replacement. The road to arthritis, and the ensuing joint replacement, can only be remedied when the problem of joint instability is addressed.\r\n<h4>NSAIDS and Cortisone Interfere with Healing</h4>\r\nNSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and corticosteroid injections are conservative, non-surgical therapies generally recommended initially for pain alleviation. Although steroid injections and NSAIDs have been shown to be effective in decreasing inflammation and pain short-term, they do not reverse the disease.\r\n\r\nThey do however, inhibit the properties of healing. For this reason, their use is cautioned in those who have joint injuries and arthritis. Did you know that NSAIDs and corticosteroids have no beneficial effect on articular cartilage in arthritis? Instead, they accelerate the very disease for which they are most often used and prescribed, and are a catalyst towards joint replacement. That means, instead of being a joint replacement alternative, they actually propel you more quickly towards the problem.\r\n\r\nIt is interesting to point out that not long after doctors started injecting cortisone and other steroids into joints way back in the 1950s, reports of terrible joint diseases were already surfacing. And even back then, the intra-articular use of steroids was discouraged. Corticosteroid injections accelerate cartilage degeneration and joint destruction. Today, despite the dangers, cortisone use is widespread and has become the standard of care.\r\n<h4>What about the Popular Use of Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Joint Pain? Are They Joint Replacement Alternatives?</h4>\r\nUnfortunately, those who do find some pain relief from hyaluronic acid, generally only experience short-term results, which are frequently designed to delay the inevitable joint replacement.\r\n<h4>Does Arthroscopic Surgery Prevent Joint Replacement?</h4>\r\nAn attempt to eliminate pain or a painful area by the arthroscopic shaving, cutting, or removal of tissue will only delay the pain for a few years until the remaining tissue becomes degenerated. Arthroscopy is a direct assault to the joint tissue. Arthroscopy, like the aforementioned treatments, may give some temporary relief of symptoms. But in the long-term, it will destabilize the joint and boost degeneration. In the long-run, these surgeries can lead to even more surgeries and the eventual joint replacement.\r\n\r\nEven athletes, when faced with surgical repair of injuries, like an ACL tear for example, have a low rate of return to sport, and a high rate of new injury. That\'s because surgery makes the joint instability worse, not better. Many surgeries such as labral repair and ACL reconstruction can provide remarkable short-term pain relief. However, the replacement material will not function long-term like the original.\r\n\r\nACL grafts and labral repairs with titanium tacks just do not have the same pliability as the original tissue and cannot restore the joint back to normal. Eventually, they will cause problems.\r\n\r\nThe athlete or any joint pain patient must realize that with each procedure and each shaving or cutting of tissue, NSAID prescription, or corticosteroid injection, the risk of developing long-term arthritis and the eventual joint replacement is greatly increased. The key to keeping the joint strong is to stimulate the area to heal.\r\n<h4>Regenerative Orthopedics Is An Actual Joint Replacement Alternative Because It Repairs the Joint</h4>\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics can help you to avoid joint replacement by stimulating healing and by repairing the joint. Plus, it does not interfere with the normal healing process of the body. PRP, Prolotherapy, and the Gold Standard in Stem Cell Therapy, as utilized at OrthoRegen<sup>®</sup>, are types of Regenerative Orthopedics that stimulate the normal reparative mechanisms of the body by laying down new collagen, strengthening the tendons and ligaments, repairing the meniscus of the knee and hip labrum, and boosting cartilage growth.\r\n\r\nAll of these regenerative therapies work to reduce the chance of long-term arthritis and joint replacement. Platelet Rich Plasma, Prolotherapy, and Stem Cell Therapy offer hope to those suffering from various types of joint pain and to those trying to avoid joint replacement. While surgery is necessary in a small percentage of patients, non-surgical regenerative therapies should be first-line, conservative treatments tried prior to surgery.\r\n\r\nHave you already had surgery, but continue to experience pain? Regenerative Orthopedics is effective even after surgery, when continued pain is experienced or for arthritis that was accelerated due to the surgery. Regenerative Orthopedics offers a promising alternative to joint replacement and the opportunity for healing and return to function for those suffering from chronic joint pain.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/articles/prolo-news/\"><strong>Ever Wonder If There Is A Joint Replacement Alternative?Click here for more articles by Dr. Fields</strong></a>\r\n\r\n<em>1.
