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

Pain in the neck is no different. Ligament weakness is very often the underlying cause of neck pain and it can also be the reason behind headaches, and even ear and mouth pain. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, has been proven to effectively stimulate the healing of weakened ligaments that are behind all of this pain. That’s great news because there is an answer for those suffering with these ailments and a way to find permanent pain relief.\r\n\r\n<h4>Neck Ligaments and Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhen the ligaments of the neck are weakened, the instability that transpires in the neck is called cervical instability. Sufferers with this malady often experience a bunch of bizarre symptoms in addition to neck pain which can include dizziness, visual disturbances, eye pressure, mouth pain, sinus congestion, tinnitus, and many others. Instability of the ligaments of the neck is implicated in conditions like disc herniation, whiplash, cervicocranial syndrome and spondylosis. When these ligaments are injured, they elongate and become weak, which allows for excessive movement in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nInstability that arises in the upper part of the neck or cervical spine (C0-C2) can manifest symtoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, dizziness, facial pain, arm pain, and migraine headaches. A condition called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) with its associated symptoms of neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, vertigo, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and auditory and visual disturbances can also develop in instances of upper cervical spine instability, because the excessive movement in the neck can alter the flow of vertebral arterial blood.\r\nWhen the instability is located in the lower neck or cervical spine (C3-C7), the resultant symptoms include muscle spasms, crepitation, and feelings of pins and needles along with neck pain. As the instability worsens, so do the symptoms. Surgery to fuse the vertebrae of the neck is often recommended in cases of cervical instability, but a consultation from an expert in Regenerative Orthopedics should be sought, since this therapy can often prevent the need for the fusion, as well as strengthen the involved ligaments and restore proper motion to the neck.\r\n\r\n<h4>The Neck Is Unique</h4>\r\nThe neck is unique, because the vertebrae in the neck are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck vertebrae is required to move the head through its varied range of motion. These anatomic features are necessary for optimal functioning, but also make the area vulnerable to injury due to the demands placed upon the neck. The ligaments of the neck, which are the stabilizing structures primarily responsible for connecting adjacent bones, are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally, while remaining in proper alignment and protecting the blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord. Injury to the ligaments changes this dynamic, and leads to instability of the cervical spine. Add to that all of the stresses and loads placed upon the neck and a cycle of imbalance is set in motion generating even more abnormal changes in the vertebral alignment. Remember that cervical instability involves excessive motion between adjacent vertebrae which causes excessive stress on the supporting ligaments and the nerve endings within them. The result is a cycle of pain and the associated variety of aforementioned symptoms.\r\n\r\n<h4>Whiplash: A Type of Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common source of cervical instability. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear end collisions causes the head to severely whip backwards and forwards. The backward “whip,” or hyperextension, is often associated with more injury to the soft tissue of the neck, because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meeting the chest in the forward “whip.” The excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments, and adjoining neck joints.\r\n\r\nThe ligaments of the neck are particularly vulnerable to injury during a whiplash event and more notably when the head is rotated at the time of collision, such as when looking in the rear-view mirror. The ligaments that function to limit side-to-side head movement become susceptible to failure in this turned position, which then compromises their ability to limit motion. The lack of a stabilizing structure can lead to further injury of the soft tissue and joint structures and the possibility of nerve injury as well as irritation of the sympathetic nervous system. Provocation of these nerve endings alters firing patterns and increases activation of the sympathetic nervous system resulting in a myriad of symptoms, as those that occur in the condition called Barré-Liéou Syndrome or cervicocranial syndrome.\r\n\r\nResolve the Underlying Ligament Injury and the Symptoms with Regenerative Orthopedics\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics strengthens weakened ligaments. It is effective in repairing and regenerating the ligaments and structures involved in cervical instability, eliminating the instability and abnormal movement, which then resolves the neck pain and associated symptoms. Cervical instability can be a frustrating and life-altering condition, but Regenerative Orthopedics, a safe non-surgical option, can stabilize the neck and increase functionality in the person suffering it, and essentially help the patient get their life back.\r\n','Neck Pain Treatment and Relief','','publish','closed','closed','','neck-pain-treatment-and-relief','','','2019-06-18 05:56:33','2019-06-18 05:56:33','',0,'https://www.drfields.com/?page_id=703',0,'page','',0),(705,8,'2019-06-08 10:10:41','2019-06-08 10:10:41','Joint pain in the various joints of the body is usually caused by some sort of weakness in the soft tissue. Pain in the neck is no different. Ligament weakness is very often the underlying cause of neck pain and it can also be the reason behind headaches, and even ear and mouth pain. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, has been proven to effectively stimulate the healing of weakened ligaments that are behind all of this pain. That’s great news because there is an answer for those suffering with these ailments and a way to find permanent pain relief.\r\n\r\n<h6>Neck Ligaments and Cervical Instability</h6>\r\nWhen the ligaments of the neck are weakened, the instability that transpires in the neck is called cervical instability. Sufferers with this malady often experience a bunch of bizarre symptoms in addition to neck pain which can include dizziness, visual disturbances, eye pressure, mouth pain, sinus congestion, tinnitus, and many others.

PRP is injected into the affected region to stimulate and enhance healing. PRP is your own blood concentrated so that more platelets (AKA growth factors) that are normally found in your blood are obtained.\r\n<h3><strong>What does PRP mean?</strong></h3>\r\nPRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Plasma is the fluid portion of blood which contains cellular components such as red cells, white blood cells and platelets. The Harvest method that Dr Fields uses concentrates the platelets 7-10 times of what is normally found in blood. Other systems concentrate them, but to a lesser extent.\r\n<h3><strong>What conditions are treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nWeakened torn or damaged ligaments, tendons, muscle tears, menisci or labrums are the most common soft tissue structures that are treated. PRP has also been effective in treating arthritis. <img title=\"Full Body Joints\" src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/fully_body_joints.jpg\" alt=\"Full Body Joints\" />\r\n<h3><strong>What are some common diagnoses treated with PRP?</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Knees: meniscus, ACL, MCL LCL, arthritis, knee cap instability</li>\r\n 	<li>Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Tears, labrum tears, tenositis</li>\r\n 	<li>Hip: labrum, tenositis, Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Low Back: Facet joints, arthritis, Sacro-Iliac dysfunction</li>\r\n 	<li>Ankle/Foot: Achilles dysfunction, tendonitis, arthritis, ankle sprains</li>\r\n 	<li>Wrist/Hand finger/joint tendinitis, ligament tears, arthritis, carpel tunnel</li>\r\n 	<li>Elbow: Tennis elbow (later epicondylitis, golfers elbow (medial epicondylitis</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h3><strong>How is PRP treatment administered?</strong></h3>\r\nThe patient’s blood is collected and then spun in a centrifuge specifically designed to concentrate platelets.

Unlike pharmaceutical medications like ibuprofen or cortisone which just take the pain away but do not heal the injury.\r\n<h3><strong>How does PRP work to heal?</strong></h3>\r\nGrowth Factors are released from large quantities of activated platelets at the site of injury. This leads to a reaction that initiates a healing cascade. Growth factors stimulate promote stimulate healing of weakened, torn or damaged soft tissue such as tendons, ligaments, meniscus or labrum.\r\n<h3><strong>Is PRP painful?</strong></h3>\r\nPatients typically tolerate the procedure well although post-injection soreness is sometime experienced.\r\n<h3><strong>How many PRP treatments do you need?</strong></h3>\r\nTwo to four treatments depending on the degree of injury and how long the injury has been there.\r\n<h3><strong>How far apart are PRP treatments spaced?</strong></h3>\r\nTypically about every 6 weeks if indicated.<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/portals/0/Images/couple1.jpg\" alt=\"PRP Treatment Questions\" />\r\n<h3><strong>What can you expect after getting PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nFor the first 48 hours, swelling and mild discomfort are typical in the injected area. Therefore, all patients are provided with pain medicine after PRP. By day 3, these symptoms will begin to substantially resolve.\r\n<h3><strong>Are there side effects/complications of PRP?</strong></h3>\r\nMinimal side effects have been observed with treatment. Any stiffness or discomfort reported after PRP should resolve with time.\r\n<h3><strong>How long does it take the PRP to “work”?</strong></h3>\r\nMost patients notice some element of improvement by 2-6 weeks after PRP treatment.

Then imagine for a moment that you can avoid joint surgery with a few simple injections. <strong>PRP Treatments</strong> (also known as PRP Injections, PRP Therapy or PRP Prolotherapy) is a treatment 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\r\n<h4>Why Does PRP Treatment Work?</h4>\r\n<img src=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/running.jpg\" alt=\"Running\"  class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-642\" />Your blood platelets contain potent growth factors necessary to begin tissue repair and regeneration at the injury site.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

various joints of the body is usually caused by some sort of weakness in the soft tissue. Pain in the neck is no different. Ligament weakness is very often the underlying cause of neck pain and it can also be the reason behind headaches, and even ear and mouth pain. Regenerative Orthopedics, such as Prolotherapy, has been proven to effectively stimulate the healing of weakened ligaments that are behind all of this pain. That’s great news because there is an answer for those suffering with these ailments and a way to find permanent pain relief.\r\n\r\n<h4>Neck Ligaments and Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhen the ligaments of the neck are weakened, the instability that transpires in the neck is called cervical instability. Sufferers with this malady often experience a bunch of bizarre symptoms in addition to neck pain which can include dizziness, visual disturbances, eye pressure, mouth pain, sinus congestion, tinnitus, and many others. Instability of the ligaments of the neck is implicated in conditions like disc herniation, whiplash, cervicocranial syndrome and spondylosis. When these ligaments are injured, they elongate and become weak, which allows for excessive movement in the vertebrae of the neck.\r\n\r\nInstability that arises in the upper part of the neck or cervical spine (C0-C2) can manifest symtoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, dizziness, facial pain, arm pain, and migraine headaches. A condition called vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) with its associated symptoms of neck pain, headaches/migraines, dizziness, drop attacks, vertigo, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking, and auditory and visual disturbances can also develop in instances of upper cervical spine instability, because the excessive movement in the neck can alter the flow of vertebral arterial blood.\r\nWhen the instability is located in the lower neck or cervical spine (C3-C7), the resultant symptoms include muscle spasms, crepitation, and feelings of pins and needles along with neck pain. As the instability worsens, so do the symptoms. Surgery to fuse the vertebrae of the neck is often recommended in cases of cervical instability, but a consultation from an expert in Regenerative Orthopedics should be sought, since this therapy can often prevent the need for the fusion, as well as strengthen the involved ligaments and restore proper motion to the neck.\r\n\r\n<h4>The Neck Is Unique</h4>\r\nThe neck is unique, because the vertebrae in the neck are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the spine. The high degree of mobility in the neck vertebrae is required to move the head through its varied range of motion. These anatomic features are necessary for optimal functioning, but also make the area vulnerable to injury due to the demands placed upon the neck. The ligaments of the neck, which are the stabilizing structures primarily responsible for connecting adjacent bones, are especially vulnerable when trauma occurs. When the neck is stable, it moves and functions normally, while remaining in proper alignment and protecting the blood vessels, nerves and spinal cord. Injury to the ligaments changes this dynamic, and leads to instability of the cervical spine. Add to that all of the stresses and loads placed upon the neck and a cycle of imbalance is set in motion generating even more abnormal changes in the vertebral alignment. Remember that cervical instability involves excessive motion between adjacent vertebrae which causes excessive stress on the supporting ligaments and the nerve endings within them. The result is a cycle of pain and the associated variety of aforementioned symptoms.\r\n\r\n<h4>Whiplash: A Type of Cervical Instability</h4>\r\nWhiplash injuries are a common source of cervical instability. The sudden acceleration and deceleration during rear end collisions causes the head to severely whip backwards and forwards. The backward “whip,” or hyperextension, is often associated with more injury to the soft tissue of the neck, because it lacks the limiting effect of the chin meeting the chest in the forward “whip.” The excessive motion in hyperextension severely strains the involved muscles and ligaments, and adjoining neck joints.\r\n\r\nThe ligaments of the neck are particularly vulnerable to injury during a whiplash event and more notably when the head is rotated at the time of collision, such as when looking in the rear-view mirror. The ligaments that function to limit side-to-side head movement become susceptible to failure in this turned position, which then compromises their ability to limit motion. The lack of a stabilizing structure can lead to further injury of the soft tissue and joint structures and the possibility of nerve injury as well as irritation of the sympathetic nervous system. Provocation of these nerve endings alters firing patterns and increases activation of the sympathetic nervous system resulting in a myriad of symptoms, as those that occur in the condition called Barré-Liéou Syndrome or cervicocranial syndrome.\r\n\r\nResolve the Underlying Ligament Injury and the Symptoms with Regenerative Orthopedics\r\nRegenerative Orthopedics strengthens weakened ligaments. It is effective in repairing and regenerating the ligaments and structures involved in cervical instability, eliminating the instability and abnormal movement, which then resolves the neck pain and associated symptoms. Cervical instability can be a frustrating and life-altering condition, but Regenerative Orthopedics, a safe non-surgical option, can stabilize the neck and increase functionality in the person suffering it, and essentially help the patient get their life back.\r\n','Neck Pain Treatment and Relief','','inherit','closed','closed','','703-revision-v1','','','2019-06-10 08:14:53','2019-06-10 08:14:53','',703,'https://www.drfields.com/703-revision-v1/',0,'revision','',0),(899,8,'2019-06-10 10:40:10','2019-06-10 10:40:10','<p><a href=\"/Low-Back-Pain-Challenges-and-Treatment\">Low Back Pain Challenges and Treatment</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/ACL-Tears-and-Knee-Ligament-Injuries\">ACL Tears and Knee Ligament Injuries</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Relieve-Arthritis-Pain\">Relieve Arthritis Pain</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Failed-Back-Surgery-Syndrome\">Failed Back Surgery Syndrome</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Get-Rid-of-Knee-Arthritis-Symptoms-by-Treating-the-Source-of-the-Pain\">Get Rid of Knee Arthritis Symptoms by Treating the Source of the Pain</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Neck-Pain-Treatment-and-Relief\">Neck Pain Treatment and Relief</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/What-is-Behind-Joint-Pain-\">What is Behind Joint Pain?&nbsp;</a>(Peding)</p>\n<p><a href=\"/Meniscus-and-Labral-Tears\">Meniscus&nbsp;and Labral Tears</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"Is-There-Help-for-Arthritis\">Is There help For Arthritis?&nbsp;</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Runners-Knee-Pain\">Runner\'s Knee Pain</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Do-You-Have-a-Hip-Injury\">Do You Have a Hip Injury?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Avoid-Joint-Replacement\">Avoid Joint Replacement</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Stop-Shoulder-Pain-from-Rotator-Cuff-and-Other-Shoulder-Injuries\">Stop Shoulder Pain from Rotator Cuff and Other Shoulder Injuries</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Unrelenting-Back-Pain-Repaired-with-Regenerative-Orthopedics\">Unrelenting Back Pain Repaired with Regenerative Orthopedics</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Do-Your-Knees-Hurt\">Do Your Knees Hurt?</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Repairing-Sports-Injuries-with-Regenerative-Orthopedics\">Repairing Sports Injuries with Regenerative Orthopedics</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Stem-Cell-Therapy-Options-for-Arthritis\">Stem Cell Therapy Options for Arthritis</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/REGENERATIVE-MEDICINE-LECTURE-IN-MEXICO-CITY-ENGLISH\">Regenerative Medicine Lecture in Mexico City (English) </a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/REGENERATIVE-MEDICINE-LECTURE-IN-MEXICO-CITY-SPANISH\">Regenerative Medicine Lecture in Mexico City (Spanish)</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/How-to-Avoid-Joint-Spine-Surgery-and-Live-Pain-Free\">How to Avoid Joint &amp; Spine Surgery and Live Pain Free</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Dr-Fields-Lectures-to-Over-400-Physicians-in-Las-Vegas\">Dr. Fields Lectures to Over 400 Physicians in Las Vegas</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"2019-Lecture-Schedule\">Regenerative Orthopedics Lecture Schedule</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"FDA-Warns-of-Serious-Neurologic-Problems-After-Epidural-Corticosteroid-Injections\">FDA Warns of Serious Neurologic Problems After Epidural Corticosteroid Injections</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"Prolotherapy-for-Knee-Pain-Abstract\">Prolotherapy for Knee-Pain Abstract</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Download-Dr-Fields-Prolotherapy-Lecture-Today\">Download Dr. Fields Prolotherapy Lecture Today</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Dr-Fields-interviewed-on-KCAL-CBS-about-Prolotherapy\">Dr. Fields interviewed on KCAL/CBS about \'Prolotherapy\'</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Dr-Fields-is-giving-a-presentation-on-prolotherapy\">Dr. Fields is giving a presentation on prolotherapy</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/New-York-Times-Article-Injections-to-Kick-Start-Tissue-Repair\">New York Times Article: Injections to Kick-Start Tissue Repair</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/View-and-Download-Dr-Fields-Latest-Lecture-on-Arthritis-and-Prolotherapy\">View and Download Dr. Fields Latest Lecture on Arthritis and Prolotherapy</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/LA-Times-Article-A-Ski-Run-for-Border\">LA Times Article \"A Ski Run for Border\"</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/Dr-Fields-Free-Open-to-the-Public-Lecture-on-Arthritis-Joint-Pain-and-Inflammation\">Dr. Fields Free Open to the Public Lecture on Arthritis, Joint Pain and Inflammation</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/What-to-Ask-When-Looking-for-a-Prolotherapist\">What to Ask When Looking for a Prolotherapist</a></p>\n<p><a href=\"/Articles/Prolo-News/Chronic-Pain-or-Injuries-Prolotherapy-Might-be-the-Answer\">Chronic Pain or Injuries?

I am an avid tennis player who tried to ignore the terrible pain in my elbow.  It got so bad that I couldn\'t do everyday things, let alone hold a tennis racket.  After a year of pain, not playing tennis and numerous treatments with both a chiropractor and orthopedist, I didn\'t have much faith that anything would help.  My chiropractor referred me to Dr Fields.  Dr. Fields patiently explained how and why prolotherapy will work.  I figured that I had tried everything else and why not give it a try.  I had both Dextrose and PRP prolotherapy to try and fix my elbow.  I can happily say I am mostly pain free and back to playing tennis 4 to 5 days a week.  I am so happy you gave me my game back.</p>\r\n<p>Thanks for everything,<br>\r\nMindy</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Robert\"></a>Shoulder </strong></p>\r\n<p>After two orthopedic surgeons told me that my rotator cuff was too atrophied and weak for surgical repair, I discovered Prolotherapy. I researched the procedure and decided to try it. I chose Dr. Peter Fields because he is an athlete and would have more direct knowledge of my particular circumstances than anyone else. After only 5 treatments, I am back to multiple sets of 200lbs. on the bench press and push-ups which really hurt before. It took 15 weeks as opposed to nine months of recovery for rotator cuff surgery and I have no pain whatsoever.</p>\r\n<p>Robert L. Miller 69 yo<br>\r\nReal Estate Developer<br>\r\nFormer - US Navy Lieutenant J.G</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<a href=\"/Contact-Dr-Fields\" class=\"btn-more\"><em class=\"fa fa-phone\"></em>&nbsp;&nbsp;Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Colin\"></a>Elbow</strong></p>\r\n<p>I am very active and work out four to five days a week. I had experienced elbow pain for more than one year. I finally went to see a leading orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. During the next 14 months, I was given three cortisone injections and had six acupuncture/acupressure treatments. I was also given anti-inflammatory medicine as well. After all of this, there was no discernable difference. I was unable to work out and was possibly looking at elbow reconstruction.</p>\r\n<p>I was then was referred to Peter A. Fields, MD, DC by my chiropractor. After a thorough examination, Dr Fields decided that Prolotherapy would be beneficial for me. After only two or three treatments, I was able to start getting back to working out and lifting. Following the full course of treatments, I am without any pain and working out as usual. For me finding Prolotherpay not only fixed my problem but helped me avoid surgery.</p>\r\n<p>Thanks Dr Fields! <br>\r\n<br>\r\nColin , 60 yo CEO, Kurgan-Cheviot <br>\r\nMass Production Jewelry Business</p>\r\n<p><strong>Foot </strong></p>\r\n<p>I came to see Dr Peter Fields basically as my \"last resort.\" <br>\r\nI had pain in my left foot for well over 6 years. <br>\r\nI am a runner - not world class or even a competitive runner, but I LOVE to run - running is my passion. I had reached a point where I couldn\'t run a half a mile without bursting into tears from the pain! And I have been known to have a pretty high pain tolerance. I had run 3 marathons and now I couldn\'t run a mile.</p>\r\n<p>I had seen numerous orthopedic surgeons…… and not one doctor was able to help me. They couldn\'t find anything wrong with my foot- I think they thought I was nuts! But this pain was REAL and I couldn\'t run!</p>\r\n<p>I finally went to see my podiatrist – who gave me 3 options: <br>\r\nwrapping my foot for the rest of my life; surgery; or I could try Prolotherapy. Well, I opted to try Prolotherapy. What could it hurt. I couldn\'t afford to take 6 months off for foot surgery so Prolotherapy was my last option.</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Penny\"></a>WOW is all I can say!</strong></p>\r\n<p>I have my running back! Prolotherapy and Dr Fields gave me back my running! <br>\r\nRunning brings me peace, joy and happiness! I can run and I run PAIN FREE!!</p>\r\n<p>I can\'t tell you how happy this has made me! I thought I would have to quit running! <br>\r\nBut I didn\'t! I came to see Dr Fields…and it was the best thing I ever did! <br>\r\nI had approximately 8 treatments on my left foot with AMAZING results. <br>\r\nI am pain free now! To me it\'s a miracle! <br>\r\nIt\'s been a huge transition: crying after a half a mile to running half marathons again, and maybe another marathon down the road!</p>\r\n<p>Dr Fields gave me back my running! <br>\r\nThank you so very much!</p>\r\n<p>Penny 44 yo<br>\r\nCamera Assistant in the Film Industry<br>\r\nHalf and Full Marathon Runner and a Wannabe Triathlete!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Amy\"></a>S.I Joint/hip </strong></p>\r\n<p>I just thought I would drop you a quick note to thank you for the time and effort you took with me to make sure that I got the proper treatment for my SI joint/hip issue. After months of visits to an orthopedic doctor, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and time off from running and riding, nothing was helping my injury. As a very athletic person, this was very upsetting and frustrating.</p>\r\n<p>When it was suggested I try Prolotherapy, I booked an appointment in hopes something would work (after Googling the treatment to see what I could learn!). I want you to know how much it meant to me that you took so much time to learn about the history of my injury, my training and overall health. It was really great to have someone answer ALL of my questions about the treatment, advise me about what I could do training wise and what to expect over the course of the treatment. Five treatments later I am thrilled to tell you that my injury and pain has all but disappeared. Just three weeks ago, I completed a half-Ironman triathlon in Sonoma, something that seemed impossible earlier in the season.</p>\r\n<p>The Prolotherapy certainly worked very well, but I attribute my recovery to more than just the treatment. It was concern, caring and skill as a doctor and chiropractor that helped me get back to what I love…running, riding and swimming.<br>\r\nThanks again for what you do.<br>\r\nWith my best,</p>\r\n<p>Amy 36 yo<br>\r\nVice President of Development <br>\r\nArthritis Foundation of America/Southern California Chapter<br>\r\nMember of the Los Angeles Triathlon Club</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Geri\"></a>Ankle</strong></p>\r\n<p>As they say, getting older is not for sissies! In 2006, I broke my right ankle (yes, in a stupid accident), and was in a cast for the requisite 6 weeks. I was turned loose to recover on my own by using it normally, or as normally as I could.

However, I am a Clinical Laboratory Scientist (CLS), with a strong educational background in body mechanics. I am also an amateur triathlete. I injured a ligament in my right arm during training. This created a constant nagging pain my shoulder.</p>\r\n<p>I thought I was just \"stuck with it\", as I happened to be over 50, and would have to tolerate this pain due to my age. No matter what I did, the arm just didn\'t seem to get better.</p>\r\n<p>I read about Prolotherapy and did some research on it. I went to see Dr. Fields to get Prolotherapy treatments. After five treatments over four months, the pain in shoulder was completely eliminated. From my personal experience, Prolotherapy is a viable way to treat injured tendons and ligaments. The bottom line: either choose to use healthy, relatively safe alternative procedures like Prolotherapy. Or get expensive MRI\'s that miss 50% of injuries, have surgery and/or take pain-killers in order to \"get by\".</p>\r\n<p>Prolotherapy treatment is not an overnight cure. But what are a few days of discomfort to promote healing versus a lifetime of chronic pain? <br>\r\nThis was a no-brainer for me</p>\r\n<p>Sincerely,<br>\r\nMary, B.S., CLS 51 yo <br>\r\nMember of the Los Angeles Triathlon Club</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Jane\"></a>Knee</strong></p>\r\n<p>I started Prolotherapy treatments in December for a problem with my left knee. I could barely bend it and had a lot of pain. From the first treatment, I saw improvement. When you were finished, I could bend the knee so much more and without pain. And even after 9 months post treatment, I\'m continually improving the amount I can bend it! But that\'s not all. After the left knee was better, you then started treatment on my right knee for a re-injury of an old torn meniscus. After two Prolotherapy treatments, the pain is gone! It happened so fast, I forgot to thank you.

I had an appointment on December 1, 2006 for my first Prolotherapy injections on my right knee, alternating with right and left knee a week apart. <br>\r\nAfter the final treatments ended I am still without all the pain and have more muscle strength in my legs.</p>\r\n<p>Lois - 72 yo</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Katherine\"></a>Toes</strong></p>\r\n<p>In January 2007, I went to see Dr. Fields on a recommendation from my podiatrist. I was training for the Los Angeles Marathon, and I was having really bad pain in the second toe of my left foot. I had bunion surgery ten years ago that was causing the problem in my foot. I was unable to complete a run over 13 miles and my foot would hurt for days after attempting a long run.</p>\r\n<p>On Dr. Fields advice, I had four Prolotherapy treatments prior to the marathon. On March 4, 2007, I proudly completed my first marathon. I had another four treatments after the marathon, my foot no longer hurts and I am still running today. My treatments took place in a span of about 6 months. Dr. Fields is an athlete and I think this made a difference in how he treated me and my foot. He never discouraged me from running the marathon. In addition to the help with my foot, Dr.Fields helped me with vitamins and supplements to help my overall health and performance. <br>\r\nI think Dr. Fields is great!!</p>\r\n<p>Katherine 46 yo<br>\r\nMarathon Runner and very active mom of two small children</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Sharon\"></a>Knee and Achilles Tendon</strong></p>\r\n<p>I am 68 years old and was enduring chronic pain from osteoarthritis in the knees and an old Achilles tendon injury. Because of the pain, I could not even move about the house without using my walker and was unable to stand long enough to do most of the things I wanted to do. I had been seeing an orthopedic surgeon and was about to undergo arthroscopic surgery on both knees.</p>\r\n<p>My husband had heard about prolotherapy, so we did a little research on it. <br>\r\nWe discovered Dr. Fields, and I made the decision to postpone the surgery and begin prolotherapy with him.</p>\r\n<p>I had a series of eight treatment sessions over a period of about nine months, during which Dr. Fields treated both knees and one Achilles tendon. The results have been remarkably positive!</p>\r\n<p>I am not completely pain free, but I can now move about the house and yard and do the chores I love to do, without the walker. My legs feel much stronger, with less pain, and I am very happy I did not get the surgery.</p>\r\n<p>We had to travel more than 60 miles one way for each treatment session with Dr. Fields, and it was well worth it.

I have run over 500 races, from marathons to 5K\'s. I have been lucky to be virtually injury free except for a pain in my left forefoot (metatarsal) area. I tried everything for the pain including seeing numerous doctors (podiatrists to sports medicine docs). I also tried three months of rest, multiple cortisone shots and many anti-inflammatory medicines. No matter what I did, the pain would come back whenever I would start running again. Then a friend asked me if I heard of Prolotherapy. I laughed and said \"No, but I\'ve tried just about everything else, what have I got to lose\". My friend gave me the web site for Peter A.

After months of frustration, I finally decided to give Prolotherapy a try so I set up an appointment and went to see Dr Fields.</p>\r\n<p>Dr Fields and his staff are extremely nice and everything was explained thoroughly. It sounded too good to be true. With nothing to lose but the pain, I went for it. After about six treatments, I am almost back to 100%.

I am an avid tennis player who tried to ignore the terrible pain in my elbow.  It got so bad that I couldn\'t do everyday things, let alone hold a tennis racket.  After a year of pain, not playing tennis and numerous treatments with both a chiropractor and orthopedist, I didn\'t have much faith that anything would help.  My chiropractor referred me to Dr Fields.  Dr. Fields patiently explained how and why prolotherapy will work.  I figured that I had tried everything else and why not give it a try.  I had both Dextrose and PRP prolotherapy to try and fix my elbow.  I can happily say I am mostly pain free and back to playing tennis 4 to 5 days a week.  I am so happy you gave me my game back.</p>\r\n<p>Thanks for everything,<br>\r\nMindy</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Robert\"></a>Shoulder </strong></p>\r\n<p>After two orthopedic surgeons told me that my rotator cuff was too atrophied and weak for surgical repair, I discovered Prolotherapy. I researched the procedure and decided to try it. I chose Dr. Peter Fields because he is an athlete and would have more direct knowledge of my particular circumstances than anyone else. After only 5 treatments, I am back to multiple sets of 200lbs. on the bench press and push-ups which really hurt before. It took 15 weeks as opposed to nine months of recovery for rotator cuff surgery and I have no pain whatsoever.</p>\r\n<p>Robert L.

I had experienced elbow pain for more than one year. I finally went to see a leading orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine. During the next 14 months, I was given three cortisone injections and had six acupuncture/acupressure treatments. I was also given anti-inflammatory medicine as well. After all of this, there was no discernable difference. I was unable to work out and was possibly looking at elbow reconstruction.</p>\r\n<p>I was then was referred to Peter A. Fields, MD, DC by my chiropractor. After a thorough examination, Dr Fields decided that Prolotherapy would be beneficial for me. After only two or three treatments, I was able to start getting back to working out and lifting. Following the full course of treatments, I am without any pain and working out as usual. For me finding Prolotherpay not only fixed my problem but helped me avoid surgery.</p>\r\n<p>Thanks Dr Fields! <br>\r\n<br>\r\nColin , 60 yo CEO, Kurgan-Cheviot <br>\r\nMass Production Jewelry Business</p>\r\n<p><strong>Foot </strong></p>\r\n<p>I came to see Dr Peter Fields basically as my \"last resort.\" <br>\r\nI had pain in my left foot for well over 6 years. <br>\r\nI am a runner - not world class or even a competitive runner, but I LOVE to run - running is my passion. I had reached a point where I couldn\'t run a half a mile without bursting into tears from the pain! And I have been known to have a pretty high pain tolerance. I had run 3 marathons and now I couldn\'t run a mile.</p>\r\n<p>I had seen numerous orthopedic surgeons…… and not one doctor was able to help me. They couldn\'t find anything wrong with my foot- I think they thought I was nuts! But this pain was REAL and I couldn\'t run!</p>\r\n<p>I finally went to see my podiatrist – who gave me 3 options: <br>\r\nwrapping my foot for the rest of my life; surgery; or I could try Prolotherapy. Well, I opted to try Prolotherapy. What could it hurt. I couldn\'t afford to take 6 months off for foot surgery so Prolotherapy was my last option.</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Penny\"></a>WOW is all I can say!</strong></p>\r\n<p>I have my running back! Prolotherapy and Dr Fields gave me back my running! <br>\r\nRunning brings me peace, joy and happiness! I can run and I run PAIN FREE!!</p>\r\n<p>I can\'t tell you how happy this has made me! I thought I would have to quit running! <br>\r\nBut I didn\'t! I came to see Dr Fields…and it was the best thing I ever did! <br>\r\nI had approximately 8 treatments on my left foot with AMAZING results. <br>\r\nI am pain free now! To me it\'s a miracle! <br>\r\nIt\'s been a huge transition: crying after a half a mile to running half marathons again, and maybe another marathon down the road!</p>\r\n<p>Dr Fields gave me back my running! <br>\r\nThank you so very much!</p>\r\n<p>Penny 44 yo<br>\r\nCamera Assistant in the Film Industry<br>\r\nHalf and Full Marathon Runner and a Wannabe Triathlete!</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<a href=\"/Contact-Dr-Fields\" class=\"secondaryButton bglight\"><em class=\"fa fa-phone\"></em>&nbsp;&nbsp;Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Amy\"></a>S.I Joint/hip </strong></p>\r\n<p>I just thought I would drop you a quick note to thank you for the time and effort you took with me to make sure that I got the proper treatment for my SI joint/hip issue. After months of visits to an orthopedic doctor, physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and time off from running and riding, nothing was helping my injury. As a very athletic person, this was very upsetting and frustrating.</p>\r\n<p>When it was suggested I try Prolotherapy, I booked an appointment in hopes something would work (after Googling the treatment to see what I could learn!). I want you to know how much it meant to me that you took so much time to learn about the history of my injury, my training and overall health. It was really great to have someone answer ALL of my questions about the treatment, advise me about what I could do training wise and what to expect over the course of the treatment. Five treatments later I am thrilled to tell you that my injury and pain has all but disappeared. Just three weeks ago, I completed a half-Ironman triathlon in Sonoma, something that seemed impossible earlier in the season.</p>\r\n<p>The Prolotherapy certainly worked very well, but I attribute my recovery to more than just the treatment. It was concern, caring and skill as a doctor and chiropractor that helped me get back to what I love…running, riding and swimming.<br>\r\nThanks again for what you do.<br>\r\nWith my best,</p>\r\n<p>Amy 36 yo<br>\r\nVice President of Development <br>\r\nArthritis Foundation of America/Southern California Chapter<br>\r\nMember of the Los Angeles Triathlon Club</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Geri\"></a>Ankle</strong></p>\r\n<p>As they say, getting older is not for sissies!

My chiropractor referred me to Dr Fields.  Dr. Fields patiently explained how and why prolotherapy will work.  I figured that I had tried everything else and why not give it a try.  I had both Dextrose and PRP prolotherapy to try and fix my elbow.  I can happily say I am mostly pain free and back to playing tennis 4 to 5 days a week.  I am so happy you gave me my game back.</p>\n<p>Thanks for everything,<br>\nMindy</p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Robert\"></a>Shoulder </strong></p>\n<p>After two orthopedic surgeons told me that my rotator cuff was too atrophied and weak for surgical repair, I discovered Prolotherapy. I researched the procedure and decided to try it. I chose Dr. Peter Fields because he is an athlete and would have more direct knowledge of my particular circumstances than anyone else. After only 5 treatments, I am back to multiple sets of 200lbs. on the bench press and push-ups which really hurt before. It took 15 weeks as opposed to nine months of recovery for rotator cuff surgery and I have no pain whatsoever.</p>\n<p>Robert L.

In 2006, I broke my right ankle (yes, in a stupid accident), and was in a cast for the requisite 6 weeks. I was turned loose to recover on my own by using it normally, or as normally as I could. Even though it had been a relatively minor break, it took about one year for me to stop limping and \"remembering\" the break with every painful step that I took.</p>\n<p>In 2008, I had a significantly more serious dislocation of my left ankle from another stupid accident. The pain in this one was excruciating.</p>\n<p>Six more weeks in a cast, then six weeks of physical therapy. <br>\nThe pain was still present; I wondered if my pain would again last for a year or more (as many of the \'medical\' websites state is the case with a sub-talar dislocation). I then began seeing Dr. Peter Fields to receive prolotherapy treatments for my aching left ankle.</p>\n<p>Within five treatments, my pain was gone or mostly gone! <br>\nI know that the prolotherapy helped me to heal faster and stronger. <br>\nToday, I occasionally get a twinge in the area but is nothing like the \"every step\" pain that I had experienced with my previous injury.</p>\n<p>I credit the prolotherapy and Dr. Fields\' deft application to my recovery. <br>\nNext, I am going to try to remember to stop having stupid accidents! <br>\nThanks, again, Dr. Fields</p>\n<p>Geri 53 yo MHROD, CPT, CPLP<br>\nPerformance Consulting and Organization Development</p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Nathania\"></a>Rib/Chest Wall Pain</strong></p>\n<p>For seven years I have had rib/chest wall pain. <br>\nBefore I started treatment with Dr Fields, the pain would come on about once every month; debilitating pain that even with pain medicines would keep me housebound and curled up on the couch for two to three days at time.</p>\n<p>I thought that I had tried everything including regular chiropractic visits, anti-inflammatory medicine, pain medicine and more to get rid of the pain. <br>\nI am a very active and physically fit person who goes to the gym 5- 6 times a week.<br>\nThis was ruining my life.</p>\n<p>I wanted to let you know that as of now (as of our last treatment), I am pain-free and fully able to enjoy life again!</p>\n<p>In 5 short sessions, you turned me from a skeptic into a believer and I can\'t thank you enough.What you do over there is nothing short of pure magic and I believe, believe, BELIEVE!!</p>\n<p>Prolotherapy has changed my life and eradicated 7 years of constant pain and you are and will remain the shining star who has given me my life back.</p>\n<p>Thank you for everything and I will continue to refer anyone and everyone who I believe could benefit from this treatment.</p>\n<p>Thanks again and keep up the good work- you are doing something amazing for people who are desperate and exhausted about their situations and I can\'t thank you enough.</p>\n<p>Nathania, 27 years old</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\n</p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Mrs\"></a>Shoulder</strong></p>\n<p>I am not a medical doctor.

I was training for the Los Angeles Marathon, and I was having really bad pain in the second toe of my left foot. I had bunion surgery ten years ago that was causing the problem in my foot. I was unable to complete a run over 13 miles and my foot would hurt for days after attempting a long run.</p>\n<p>On Dr. Fields advice, I had four Prolotherapy treatments prior to the marathon. On March 4, 2007, I proudly completed my first marathon. I had another four treatments after the marathon, my foot no longer hurts and I am still running today. My treatments took place in a span of about 6 months. Dr. Fields is an athlete and I think this made a difference in how he treated me and my foot. He never discouraged me from running the marathon. In addition to the help with my foot, Dr.Fields helped me with vitamins and supplements to help my overall health and performance. <br>\nI think Dr. Fields is great!!</p>\n<p>Katherine 46 yo<br>\nMarathon Runner and very active mom of two small children</p>\n<p><strong><a name=\"Sharon\"></a>Knee and Achilles Tendon</strong></p>\n<p>I am 68 years old and was enduring chronic pain from osteoarthritis in the knees and an old Achilles tendon injury. Because of the pain, I could not even move about the house without using my walker and was unable to stand long enough to do most of the things I wanted to do. I had been seeing an orthopedic surgeon and was about to undergo arthroscopic surgery on both knees.</p>\n<p>My husband had heard about prolotherapy, so we did a little research on it. <br>\nWe discovered Dr. Fields, and I made the decision to postpone the surgery and begin prolotherapy with him.</p>\n<p>I had a series of eight treatment sessions over a period of about nine months, during which Dr. Fields treated both knees and one Achilles tendon. The results have been remarkably positive!</p>\n<p>I am not completely pain free, but I can now move about the house and yard and do the chores I love to do, without the walker. My legs feel much stronger, with less pain, and I am very happy I did not get the surgery.</p>\n<p>We had to travel more than 60 miles one way for each treatment session with Dr. Fields, and it was well worth it.

I have run over 500 races, from marathons to 5K\'s. I have been lucky to be virtually injury free except for a pain in my left forefoot (metatarsal) area. I tried everything for the pain including seeing numerous doctors (podiatrists to sports medicine docs). I also tried three months of rest, multiple cortisone shots and many anti-inflammatory medicines. No matter what I did, the pain would come back whenever I would start running again. Then a friend asked me if I heard of Prolotherapy. I laughed and said \"No, but I\'ve tried just about everything else, what have I got to lose\". My friend gave me the web site for Peter A. Fields MD, DC, but even then I was a skeptic. After months of frustration, I finally decided to give Prolotherapy a try so I set up an appointment and went to see Dr Fields.</p>\n<p>Dr Fields and his staff are extremely nice and everything was explained thoroughly. It sounded too good to be true. With nothing to lose but the pain, I went for it. After about six treatments, I am almost back to 100%.

I had an appointment on December 1, 2006 for my first Prolotherapy injections on my right knee, alternating with right and left knee a week apart. <br>\r\nAfter the final treatments ended I am still without all the pain and have more muscle strength in my legs.</p>\r\n<p>Lois - 72 yo</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n<a href=\"/Contact-Dr-Fields\" class=\"btn-more\"><em class=\"fa fa-phone\"></em>&nbsp;&nbsp;Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Katherine\"></a>Toes</strong></p>\r\n<p>In January 2007, I went to see Dr. Fields on a recommendation from my podiatrist. I was training for the Los Angeles Marathon, and I was having really bad pain in the second toe of my left foot. I had bunion surgery ten years ago that was causing the problem in my foot. I was unable to complete a run over 13 miles and my foot would hurt for days after attempting a long run.</p>\r\n<p>On Dr. Fields advice, I had four Prolotherapy treatments prior to the marathon. On March 4, 2007, I proudly completed my first marathon. I had another four treatments after the marathon, my foot no longer hurts and I am still running today. My treatments took place in a span of about 6 months. Dr. Fields is an athlete and I think this made a difference in how he treated me and my foot. He never discouraged me from running the marathon. In addition to the help with my foot, Dr.Fields helped me with vitamins and supplements to help my overall health and performance. <br>\r\nI think Dr. Fields is great!!</p>\r\n<p>Katherine 46 yo<br>\r\nMarathon Runner and very active mom of two small children</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Sharon\"></a>Knee and Achilles Tendon</strong></p>\r\n<p>I am 68 years old and was enduring chronic pain from osteoarthritis in the knees and an old Achilles tendon injury. Because of the pain, I could not even move about the house without using my walker and was unable to stand long enough to do most of the things I wanted to do. I had been seeing an orthopedic surgeon and was about to undergo arthroscopic surgery on both knees.</p>\r\n<p>My husband had heard about prolotherapy, so we did a little research on it. <br>\r\nWe discovered Dr. Fields, and I made the decision to postpone the surgery and begin prolotherapy with him.</p>\r\n<p>I had a series of eight treatment sessions over a period of about nine months, during which Dr. Fields treated both knees and one Achilles tendon. The results have been remarkably positive!</p>\r\n<p>I am not completely pain free, but I can now move about the house and yard and do the chores I love to do, without the walker. My legs feel much stronger, with less pain, and I am very happy I did not get the surgery.</p>\r\n<p>We had to travel more than 60 miles one way for each treatment session with Dr. Fields, and it was well worth it. If you decide on prolotherapy, you probably cannot find a better or more professional practitioner than Dr. Peter Fields.</p>\r\n<p>Sharon, 68 yo</p>\r\n<p><strong><a name=\"Paul\"></a>Foot</strong></p>\r\n<p>I have been an avid runner for over 20 years and my t shirt collection and metals are something to see. I have run over 500 races, from marathons to 5K\'s. I have been lucky to be virtually injury free except for a pain in my left forefoot (metatarsal) area. I tried everything for the pain including seeing numerous doctors (podiatrists to sports medicine docs). I also tried three months of rest, multiple cortisone shots and many anti-inflammatory medicines. No matter what I did, the pain would come back whenever I would start running again. Then a friend asked me if I heard of Prolotherapy. I laughed and said \"No, but I\'ve tried just about everything else, what have I got to lose\". My friend gave me the web site for Peter A. Fields MD, DC, but even then I was a skeptic. After months of frustration, I finally decided to give Prolotherapy a try so I set up an appointment and went to see Dr Fields.</p>\r\n<p>Dr Fields and his staff are extremely nice and everything was explained thoroughly. It sounded too good to be true. With nothing to lose but the pain, I went for it. After about six treatments, I am almost back to 100%. I just completed my second half marathon, back to back 10-Ks and I am training for a full marathon. My T shirt and medal collect are growing again thanks to Dr Fields.

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

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

Fields is also known as <strong> The Athletic Doc<sup>®</sup>.</strong>\r\nHe not only treats athletes in his practice but is an athlete himself.\r\n<h5>How Doctor Fields Became  <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc®.</strong></h5>\r\nFor over twenty years, Dr. Fields has been active in the sport of Triathlon which has lead to he became known as <strong>The Athletic Doc®</strong>. In July of 2017, he completed his ninth Ironman Triathlon. An Ironman Triathlon is a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. Dr. Fields has competed in over 60 other Triathlons in his career, including eight half (70.3) Ironman competitions as well as numerous Olympic distance ones. He says that even with all the years of training and racing, he still enjoys the challenges of it all.\r\n\r\nWith a busy practice, Dr. Fields still makes time to work out. During the triathlon season, he can be found swimming, biking or running six to seven days a week in addition to a regime of active stretching twice a day. On most weekends, Dr. Fields can be found on long training rides with the Los Angeles Triathlon Club. He is not only a member of the LA TRI Club but a sponsor too. Besides being outdoors and keeping himself very physically active, Dr. Fields also enjoys the camaraderie of his training partners. In addition to the sport of Triathlon, Dr. Fields is a competitive tennis player and participates in several other athletic activities including skiing, lifting weights, scuba diving, and hiking to name just a few.\r\n<h5> <strong class=\"subhead\">The Athletic Doc®</strong> Keeps Active and Fit to Maintain Optimal Health </h5>\r\nDr. Fields finds that keeping fit and active is not only important in keeping him in top physical shape but also in staying in touch with those patients that are, or want to be, active. To keep his body at maximum efficiency and maintain optimal health, Dr. Fields eats a very healthy diet which includes lots of organic fruits and vegetables and other whole food products. He avoids processed foods, fried foods and white flour or white sugar products. <em>The Athletic Doc ®</em> also utilizes a daily vitamin and supplement regime as well as massage therapy, chiropractic and of course, <strong>Prolotherapy</strong> for those injuries that just won\'t heal. Plus he makes sure to get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water and have some quiet time in his life.\r\n\r\nDr. Fields is a nationally known <a href=\"#\">Prolotherapy</a> Doctor. For more severe injuries, Dr. Fields recommends <a href=\"#\">PRP Prolotherapy</a>, which uses a patient\'s own cells to stimulate healing. And for his patients who have arthritic joints, torn or missing cartilage, or bone-on-bone conditions, Dr. Fields is a nationally known <a href=\"#\">Stem Cell Prolotherapy</a> doctor who regularly helps his patients avoid joint replacement surgery.\r\n<h5> About <strong>The Athletic Doc® </strong></h5>\r\nDr. Fields is the Director of OrthoRegen in Santa Monica, Ca. one of the largest practices in the world dedicated to Regenerative Orthopedics. Dr Fields treats patients from around the United States and the World: from professional athletes to weekend warriors and even non-athletes. He helps people avoid orthopedic surgeries whether full surgery or arthroscopic. Dr Fields is a leading expert in Prolotherapy treatments to help people reduce pain and prevent joint replacement.\r\n\r\n<strong><em>The Athletic Doc® motto is not only train hard but smart – as if your body depended on it</em></strong>\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<div class=\"col-md-12\"

Chronic Knee Pain</h4>\r\n[video_lightbox_youtube video_id=\"d-0hlfEKGYo\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" anchor=\"https://www.drfields.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/chronic-pain-video0.jpg\" alt=\"Roberto - Knee (In Spanish)\"]\r\n<strong>Sam - Knee (VIDEO HERE)</strong>\r\n<strong>Roberto - Knee (In Spanish) (VIDEO HERE)</strong>\r\n\r\nThe knee is one of the most crucial joints in the body. To be engaged in everyday activities -- standing, walking, running, and even lying down -- you need to have normal knee function. But if you have chronic pain in your knee, you\'re prevented from doing all of that and more. Many conventional treatments include surgery, arthroscopy, cortisone and NSAIDS, but sometimes those treatments can hurt more than they help. That is why so many people turn to Prolotherapy for Chronic Knee Pain treatment.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Causes Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nThe knee begins at the lower end of the thigh bone (femur), which rotates on the upper end of the shin (tibia). The knee cap (patellae), slides in a groove on the end of the femur. Large ligaments attach the femur to the tibia, providing stability to the leg.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of knee pain are arthritis. If you are experiencing minor knee pain, clicking, giving way or ‘trick knee’, you may be feeling the first symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin in people as early as thirty years of age, and this may progress for years before symptoms appear. Acute knee pain, sudden and intense, is usually the result of an injury. Acute knee pain accompanied by significant inflammation and swelling, can be caused by gout or even infection. Chronic osteoarthritis can also be the cause of occasional acute knee pain.\r\n\r\nThe most common cause of long-lasting or chronic knee pain is osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty, can also cause chronic pain in the knee joint. Pseudo gout, bursitis, tendonitis, <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">sports injuries</a>, degenerative joint disease and chondromalacia patellae can be other causes of knee pain. As we age the smooth and resilient cartilage on the ends of our long bones, wears down, but this cartilage is needed for normal joint function.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/sports-injuries/sports-injuries-treatment-overview/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Knee Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nPatients with pain in almost any joint in the body can now <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat their chronic pain with prolotherapy</a>. It just depends on the cause of your particular joint 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 knee ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Knee Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. Prolotherapy for chronic knee pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment. 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, surgery requires you to reduce activity after treatment.\r\n\r\nAre you a candidate for Prolotherapy for your chronic knee pain?

The neck enables the head to move and to rotate, but if you can\'t move your neck normally, your life can be severely disrupted and your activities can be limited. Depending on the cause and type of your neck injury or condition, your best choice may be prolotherapy for chronic neck pain.\r\n\r\n<h4>What Causes Neck Pain?</h4>\r\nYour neck is composed of seven cervical vertebrae. These vertebrae support your head, serve as an attachment point for the muscles that move your head, and protect the spinal cord between the brain and thoracic vertebrae.\r\n\r\nSymptoms of <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/regenerative-techniques/dextrose-prolotherapy/prolotherapy-faq/\">neck pain</a> can include:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Headaches</li>\r\n 	<li>Pain in the shoulder, arm or hand</li>\r\n 	<li>Reduced range of motion in the neck</li>\r\n 	<li>Numbness, weakness, and slower reflexes in the arms, legs, hands and feet.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nIf you are experiencing minor neck pain, you may be experiencing early symptoms of arthritis. Osteoarthritis can begin as young as thirty and symptoms may begin to appear years after the disease begins.\r\n\r\nA strain or spasm of the muscles in the neck or inflammation of the neck can be the causes of the neck pain you feel. Pain in the neck can also be caused by injury such as whiplash or a blow to the head or neck while playing sports. Cervical disk degeneration, a pinched nerve, meningitis, influenza, a heart attack or torticollis, can also be causes of neck pain. Anything that causes stress on the muscles in the upper body and arms, including poor posture, and sleeping on a pillow that is too high, can be causes of localized neck pain.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Neck Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises. In many cases, these methods do not take care of the cause of the pain.\r\n\r\nPatients with pain in almost any joint in the body can now <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/conditions/chronic-pain/chronic-pain-overview/\">treat their 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 regenerate these damaged tissues 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 neck ligaments, tendons, or joints, which leads to local inflammation in that specific area. The localized inflammation triggers the deposition of new collagen, the material in which ligaments and tendons are made. New collagen shrinks as it matures and tightens the ligament that was injected, making it stronger.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are you a Candidate For Prolotherapy for Chronic Neck Pain?</h4>\r\nOur goal at OrthoRegen is for our patients to have an active, healthy, pain-free life. Prolotherapy is a very safe, affordable option that allows you to keep working, training and living a normal life during the recovery process. Prolotherapy for chronic neck pain is one of the few treatments that encourages movement post-treatment.

But when a part of your body, such as your shoulder, begins to hurt or hurts for an extended period of time, you quickly realize how much you depend on your shoulders for reaching, raising your arm, lifting yourself up or even just opening a cupboard. That\'s why so many people with shoulder pain or injuries look to <strong>Prolotherapy for chronic shoulder pain</strong> treatment.\r\n\r\n<h4>Causes of Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nThe muscles and joints of the shoulder allow it to move through a remarkable range of motion, making it one of the most mobile joints in the human body. The shoulder can rotate, be raised in front of and behind the torso and allow the arm to move a full 360°. This tremendous range of motion also makes the shoulder extremely unstable, and far more prone to dislocation and injury than other joints.\r\n\r\nBecause the rounded head or ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket of the shoulder bone (scapula), this area is especially susceptible to injury. The shoulder joint consists of bones, muscles and ligaments that are all subject to stress and overuse.\r\n\r\nCommon causes of shoulder pain can be:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Tendonitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Bursitis</li>\r\n 	<li>Dislocation and attendant injury</li>\r\n 	<li>Impingement syndrome</li>\r\n 	<li>Rotator cuff tear</li>\r\n 	<li>Adhesive capsulated (frozen shoulder)</li>\r\n 	<li>Fracture</li>\r\n 	<li>Poor posture.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nBut the <strong>most common cause of chronic pain in the shoulder is arthritis</strong>. This can take many forms such as: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid, traumatic, and gouty arthritis.\r\n\r\n<h4>Which Kind of Shoulder Pain Do You Have?</h4>\r\nIf you are experiencing pain from a rotator cuff injury, you will feel a dull aching pain, which worsens with movement.  A rotator cuff injury includes any type of irritation or damage to your <a href=\"https://www.drfields.com/Articles/Prolo-News/Stem-Cell-Therapy-For-Rotator-Cuff-Injuries\">rotator cuff</a> muscles or tendons. Causes of a rotator cuff injury may include falling, lifting and repetitive arm activities — especially those done overhead.\r\n\r\n<strong>Shoulder tendonitis</strong> can produce symptoms including a slow onset of discomfort, pain in the upper third of your arm and difficulty sleeping on the side of that arm.\r\n\r\nRedness and swelling that is tender and warm to the touch can be caused by <strong>bursitis</strong>.\r\n\r\nMinor shoulder pain, ‘clicking’, ‘giving way’, or frozen shoulder, are symptoms of <strong>arthritis</strong>. Osteoarthritis can begin as early as thirty, but symptoms can appear later, as the condition progresses.\r\n\r\n<a class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">  Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic Shoulder Pain</h4>\r\nMany patients come to us tired of ‘managing’ their chronic pain with NSAID or narcotic medications, various therapies, and exercises.

Most blows to the elbow are not strong enough to fracture it. It is usually the ligaments and tendons that are injured. Depending on the injury or condition, <strong>prolotherapy for chronic elbow pain </strong>may give you permanent relief.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ligament Injuries in the Elbow</strong>\r\n\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<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. In tennis elbow it is the <strong>extensor tendons</strong> which move the wrist up, that can be damaged. In golfer’s elbow it is the <strong>flexor tendons</strong>, that move the wrist down, that get injured. It is not rare for us to see elbow and hand pain that has been misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome involves the entrapment of the median nerve where the wrist and hand connect.\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\r\n<strong>The Most Common Elbow Injuries </strong>\r\n\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 class=\"buttonlink\" href=\"https://www.drfields.com/contact/\">Schedule Your Appointment Today!</a>\r\n\r\n<h4>How Prolotherapy Is Used To Treat Chronic 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.
