We are excited to share the newest chapter release - Chapter 23!

This chapter highlights how Prolotherapy is a safer alternative to joint replacement surgery for treating osteoarthritis. Joint replacement and revision surgeries are increasing exponentially, yet they have significant risks, including not resolving the original pain for which they were performed. This scenario is not uncommon in a Prolotherapy clinic, and indicates an underlying joint instability issue that was not addressed by the joint replacement. Most people who sign up for joint replacement surgery have not tried Prolotherapy, which stimulates healing rather than inhibiting it like conventional treatments that typically lead to the need for a joint replacement (NSAIDs, cortisone shots). This chapter discusses who is an ideal Prolotherapy candidate based on joint architecture and range of motion, and when severely altered bone structures require replacement.

Happy Bike to Work Day!

Cycling to work is not just a great way to get around, but it can also benefit your body in many ways. When it comes to joint health, biking can be a fantastic choice. Cycling is low-impact, meaning you can get a solid workout without putting excessive strain on your joints.

This is especially beneficial for your knees, as it helps to strengthen the muscles that support them, along with the ankles and feet. Research even suggests that biking can lead to improved outcomes for hip osteoarthritis!

Yes, cycling spares your knees from the impact of activities like running, but it also aids in distributing fluid to your joints, benefiting their overall health!

So, next time you consider your commute, remember that cycling could be the key to moving your body with ease and caring for your knees!
