An Advanced Therapy for Joint Inflammation, Weakness and Pain
What is Reconstructive Therapy?
Reconstructive Therapy, also known as Prolotherapy (proliferative therapy) is a recognized orthopedic procedure
that stimulates the body's natural healing processes to strengthen joints weakened by traumatic or over-use injury.
Traditional approaches with surgery and anti-inflammatory drugs often fail to stabilize the joint and relieve weakness and pain permanently.
Reconstructive Therapy, with its unique ability to directly address the cause of the instability, can repair the weakened
sites and produce new tissues, resulting in permanent stabilization of the joint.
How does Reconstructive Therapy work?
With precise injection of a mild solution directly on the site of the torn or stretched ligament or tendon,
reconstructive therapy creates a stimulation of the body's natural healing mechanisms to lay down new tissue
on the weakened area.
The response that is created by the injection encourages growth of new ligament or tendon fibers, resulting
in a tightening of the weakened structure.
Additional treatments repeat this process, allowing a gradual buildup of tissue to restore the original
strength to the area.
What areas of the body can be treated?
This form of therapy can be used to treat any joint problem, including hip, knee and ankle pain, shoulder, elbow and wrist pain, jaw pain, carpal tunnel syndrome and
disc problems at any level of the spine. Reconstructive Therapy is successful treating joints diagnosed with tendonitis, new or old sprains, weak or "loose" joints and unstable joints due to injury or repetitive stress.
How often do I need these treatments?
The treatments should be administered every 1 to 2 weeks, as determined by your treating physician.
Who administers Reconstructive Therapy?
Physicians who administer this form of therapy are trained by the American College of Osteopathic Pain
Management and Sclerotherapy.
Postgraduate training is a prerequisite before treating any patient with a medical orthopedic problem.
Dr. Carrie Mousseau, Medical Director at HealthNOW, is trained and experienced in treating a variety of conditions successfully.
