Treatment for Joint & Chronic Back Pain

Getting injured is a part of life—especially if you lead an active, dynamic life. How we deal with the injuries we experience, even the minor ones, can determine the quality of our lives from that point forward. Nobody wants to suffer a minor injury and then make a bad treatment decision that leads to chronic pain. And we shouldn’t have to.

Whether you’re experiencing chronic or acute pain, prolotherapy may be the solution you have been waiting days, weeks, months, or possibly years to receive. Restoring a patient’s function sufficiently so that he or she can provide for the family—pride intact—or allowing an athlete to fulfill dreams or preventing a patient from making a decision that might result in lifelong chronic pain is the real advantage of prolotherapy. With prolotherapy many patients have resolved their discomfort from repetitive activity or one unfortunate accident.

The Road to Recovery Many people, particularly those who have been suffering with certain afflictions for some time, don’t think of their problems as injuries. They say, rather, that they suffer from chronic pain or that they are disabled. The problem with thinking in those terms is that it leaves no room to hope for any better quality of life. If you have chronic pain, more than likely you believe—because you’ve been told to—that your only option is drug management. Your pain will never go away, and likely won’t even lessen. You’re relegated to a life of pain and medications, such as opioids (also called narcotics), that will likely become less effective over time. How does one cope with that outlook? If you think of yourself as disabled, more than likely you believe that you will never be able to do the things you once enjoyed in life or never be fully active again. You fear that you will never have the full, normal, healthy use of your body. Effective Treatment

"In the sixteen years I have treated people’s joint and back pain with prolotherapy, I have seen hundreds of people achieve amazing results. I have seen patients who refused surgery—even though a surgeon had told them it was “the only option”—make complete recoveries and resume working and maintaining an active or even strenuous lifestyle. I have seen patients overcome years of chronic pain and return to the lives they knew before the injury. And I have seen patients quickly and fully heal after injuries that could have left them disabled for life." ~ Dr Joseph G. Valdez, MD
