DEFINITION OF RIT/PROLOTHERAPY & PROLOZONE®

Regenerative Injection Therapy/(RIT) also known as prolotherapy or sclerotherapy is an interventional pain management technique that repetitively provides a mild neurolytic effect followed by a complex restorative process with biochemically induced collagen regeneration. It is also called Reconstructive Therapy, It is a non-surgical ligament reconstruction that accelerates the rate of cartilage growth. This therapy is effective because it addresses and eliminates the cause of chronic pain arising from connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons and cartilage. It is an injection technique that has been shown to cause growth of cells and tissue to stabilize and strengthen weakened joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It rebuilds and strengthens the complete joint structure even in patients with no cartilage. This therapy may eliminate the need for joint replacement which usually takes three or more months to recover and costs thousands. Some  family doctors prescribe pain killers, NSAIDs and Cortisone shots which offer only temporary relief.

The term prolotherapy is derived from the word prolo, short for proliferation, as the therapy is intended to proliferate tissue growth

in the damaged area. This is also called Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), since it is recognized that it extends beyond the proliferative stage-now understood as only the second stage of regenerative healing process. The idea behind this therapy dates back more than 2000 years to Hippocrates, who used it to treat soldiers with injured shoulders. Instead of

injections Hippocrates used a hot poker, which he speared into the shoulder joint, causing and stimulating the body to repair itself of inflammation.

The injection is placed into the damaged ligament or tendon at the point where it attaches to the bone. The injection produces an inflammation, which increases blood flow, swelling, and pain. The body then launches a course of repair and healing. The inflammation tricks the body into thinking another injury has occurred, so it sends in macrophages, which are cells that ingest and destroy the irritant solution. These cells clean up the area. The body then sends in fibroblasts, which are cells that help build fibrous tissue. The fibroblasts excrete collagen, a protein that makes the ligaments denser and stronger. The stronger ligaments provide more support for the joints and alleviates  the pain.
