Chronic Knee Table

Knee pain is often due to sprain or strain of the external knee ligaments. This responds well to prolotherapy, and surprisingly even medial cruciate ligament laxity can often be helped¹⁰. A recent DB study of prolotherapy into the knee showed 44% decrease in pain in knee osteoarthritis and some regeneration of cartilage¹¹.
