Prolotherapy
Dr. Mitchell J. Bloom
MD, FAAPMR
Prolotherapy (non-surgical reconstruction) is a simple, innovative, safe and highly effective natural type of reconstruction for chronic pain that stimulates the body to heal. By strengthening the supporting soft tissue structures, prolotherapy doesn't just reduce pain, but can improve strength and function. The treatment therefore helps get rid of pain by treating the underlying problem. Prolotherapy is administered by injecting a small amount of harmless, natural substances (along with anaesthetic to minimise any pain from injection) at the exact site of injury/pain for the purpose of stimulating new growth and repair.
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED WITH PROLOTHERAPY?
- Chronic Low Back and Neck Pain
- Arthritis
- Sporting Injuries
- Tennis Elbow, Rotator Cuff Injuries and all Sprains and Strains
- Chronic Headaches
WHAT DOES PROLOTHERAPY DO?
Prolotherapy stimulates repair of weakened tendons and ligaments. Prolotherapy has been shown to significantly increase ligament mass, thickness, cross sectional area and strength. The tissue formed from Prolotherapy is strong, healthy and flexible. As tendons and ligaments are repaired, nerves are no longer irritated and pain subsides. The final result is often strong tendons and ligaments with more stable joints and a reduction or absence of pain!

Functional Pain Medicine
Functional Pain Medicine focuses on examination of the core clinical imbalances that underlie various painful conditions.
Its goal is to help your body come back into dynamic alignment using a holistic approach that looks for the root causes of pain. Tests can be used that detect problems long before traditional tests find anything amiss. Food allergies and abnormalities found on stool analysis can be the underlying cause of many painful conditions. These and other imbalances can be corrected with nutritional supplements, dietary modifications, stress reduction techniques and exercise programs.
Imbalances in the regulation of hormonal, detoxification, immune, and inflammatory function are often the precursors to clinical conditions which we label as disease. Functional Pain Medicine addresses these imbalances to restore optimal health.
Functional Pain Medicine is grounded in scientific principles and information widely available in medicine today. It combines research from various disciplines into highly detailed yet clinically relevant models. It uses treatments which are safe, effective, and supported by the medical literature.
