Prolotherapy London

in Uncategorized by Mike Squirrell November 6, 2024 0 comments

At Harley Street Joint Care Medical in London, we are committed to offering a range of effective, non-surgical solutions for chronic pain and joint instability. Among our innovative treatment options is Prolotherapy, a regenerative injection therapy designed to relieve joint pain and stimulate the body’s natural healing response. If you’re seeking a natural and minimally invasive approach to manage pain and improve joint stability, Prolotherapy may be the right choice for you.

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy, short for “proliferative therapy,” is a regenerative treatment that involves injecting a natural irritant solution into damaged joints, ligaments, or tendons. This solution, typically a dextrose-based substance, stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, encouraging tissue repair and regeneration. By prompting the body to strengthen weakened or injured areas, Prolotherapy provides a lasting solution for pain relief and improved stability, particularly in joints that have been compromised by injury or degeneration.

How Prolotherapy Works

Prolotherapy works by injecting the natural solution into the area where soft tissue damage has caused instability or pain. The solution acts as an irritant, prompting an inflammatory response that encourages the body to increase blood flow and bring healing cells to the affected area. This process stimulates collagen production, strengthening the ligaments and tendons that support joint structures.

Over a series of sessions, Prolotherapy can enhance the stability of joints, reduce chronic pain, and help prevent further injury. It is an ideal treatment option for patients seeking a non-surgical approach to relieve pain and improve joint function.

Benefits of Prolotherapy at Harley Street Joint Care Medical

Non-Surgical, Natural Pain Relief: Prolotherapy offers a minimally invasive way to address joint pain and instability without the need for surgery or prolonged recovery.
Long-Lasting Results: By promoting natural healing, Prolotherapy provides lasting pain relief and can prevent the need for more invasive treatments.
Safe and Effective: Our clinicians at Harley Street Joint Care Medical are highly experienced in administering Prolotherapy injections, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Personalised Care and Follow-Up: We tailor each treatment plan to suit the unique needs of our patients, offering comprehensive aftercare to support optimal recovery.

What to Expect During Your Prolotherapy Treatment

At Harley Street Joint Care Medical, our Prolotherapy treatment process is straightforward and personalised to ensure the best outcomes for each patient.

Initial Consultation: During your consultation, we will assess your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether Prolotherapy is a suitable option for your needs. We will answer any questions you may have and develop a tailored treatment plan.
Injection Process: Prolotherapy injections are administered in our clinic by skilled clinicians. The procedure is quick, usually taking only a few minutes, and the injection targets specific points in the joint or surrounding tissues.
Aftercare and Follow-Up: After the injection, our team will provide guidance on post-treatment care. Some patients may experience mild inflammation or soreness, which is a natural part of the healing response and typically subsides within a few days.

Who is a Suitable Candidate for Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is suitable for patients suffering from chronic joint pain, instability, or degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis. It is also effective for treating sports injuries, ligament sprains, and tendon weakness. However, it may not be ideal for patients with certain medical conditions or allergies. During your consultation, our clinicians will conduct a thorough assessment to ensure Prolotherapy is the most appropriate treatment for you.

The change is remarkable. I had been to see Mike for physiotherapy some years ago but whilst training for the great north run i started with a knee injury. I have moved to Newcastle now but the problem wouldn't go away. I called Mike as he'd helped me in the past and saw his website offering cortisone by coincidence. Beware of using other cortisone "specialists" who charge much less. This is the only clinic who employ specialist pain consultants and offer ultrasound guided injections. I wouldn't let anyone else treat me.

3 days before the London Marathon I was in agony with a serious inflammation of the hip flexor area (Iliopsoas Bursitis). I could barely walk. I can't describe the feeling of dejection and frustration I felt after so many months of training. I went to see Mike Squirrell and Joel Key with little hope. They made it happen for me thanks to their sound advice, expert treatment and a cortisone injection aka "the magic gun". Thanks to Mike and Joel I was able to run the marathon in 3:41h, bang in line with the time range I had in mind. Amazing!

I was suffering from heel pain and achilles tendinitis for 6 months which was stopping me from competing in traithlons. I had tried orthotics, physio, new shoes, acupuncture and everything. Mike cleared up the symptoms almost immediatelt with a combinatin of laser and cortisone therapy. I f it wasn’t for him I may have had the pain for the rest of my life – truly a life-saver!!

Had my left knee injected due to osteoarthritis and currently have full range of motion and no pain at all. Can't thank the team enough for all their help.

Don't review normally but wanted to thank Laura for all her time discussing my problem with me and putting me back on track for my marathon preparation. If it weren't for you I wouldn't be running this year.

I wouldn't use any other clinic in London. Their knowledge and experience is far beyond the other 2 clinics i have used in the past. They are a little more expensive but it's worth it for the knowledge and experienced team you get. I wouldn't be able to run in this years london marathon without them.

Laura is a great Physio and really takes her time to explain everything in detail. The injections I’ve had have really helped me get over the line on some sporting events.

I tried a different clinic who were much cheaper 2 months prior before coming to this clinic. Their service was far rougher and felt rushed in comparison. I loved the follow up calls to see how I was doing and the clinic itself is very nice and the staff were really pleasant.

Mike is very professional and spent a long time discussing the issues I was having. After the first ultrasound cortisone injection 2 days later the pain had reduced massively. 2 weeks later i have no more problems.

#1 cortisone clinic by far. Tried another clinic I found on Facebook but didn't see the results I wanted sadly. Without Florence I wouldn't have been able to complete in last years London marathon.

Mike's injection into my lower lumbar spine changed everything. I had 3 months of agony, sometimes 10/10 pain and my NHS GP and physio seeing me within 2 days, but then telling me that, even though I appear to have herniated discs, I can't have an MRI confirming it for 3-5 months or a pain specialist appt, most likely to inject cortisone, for about 5 months. So I paid for a private MRI that confirmed 2 herniations and then started doing research for a private injection. The cost was typically between £2800 and £3500 incl. prior consultation and the injection - I just couldn't afford this. Then I found Mike and Cortisone London, who charge so much less. I emailed on the Sunday (in despair) and was seen and injected the following day (having brought my MRI scan CD). 3 days of flare-up followed, then a 2-week plateau and then it started working on Day 13. And, I cannot put into words how it feels to go from 7/10 up to 10/10 pain daily to almost none. My friends say I shine with euphoria. Now I can go swimming and do Pilates to help heal and prevent this happening again. Thank you so much.
