...cervical instability causes excessive motion of the spinal canal, whose primary job is to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. When we first examine people as new patients, a message that we try to have them understand is that the word instability should draw a picture for them of the word destruction. Instability is causing the structure and function of the neck to deteriorate...

The complexity of symptoms and conditions that these people suffer from can be summed up as Cervical spine instability causing progressive destruction of the joint structures if not stopped.

When the soft tissue of the cervical spine is damaged, weakened, lax, loose, and degenerating, the bones of the neck wander around. With this wandering in the neck comes a narrowing of the intervertebral neural foramina space, the extent of which can reach the critical point at which the nerve is compressed (radiculopathy) or the spinal cord is compressed (myelopathy).

This narrowing can also decrease or compress the flow of fluid in the blood supply to (arterial) and from (venous) and around (cerebrospinal flow) the spinal cord and nerve roots that they need for proper health and functioning.

Cervical instability can cause the various parts of the spinal cord to be “touched” by bone and give various sensations to distant parts of the body. Indeed, herniated discs, bone spurs, and osteophyte complexes can also ‘touch’ the spinal cord, likewise, causing distant shooting, vibrating, buzzing, and electric shock-like sensations.

Dysesthesias or ‘unusual’ sensory symptoms may happen though no damage or disease can be found. It’s not that the nerve impulses are getting structurally impeded all the time but intermittently when the body is moved in a certain way until there is too much tension on it to carry nerve impulses normally.

In more advanced situations and certainly more frightening to this patient is the “drop attack,” where they would suddenly and for seemingly no reason at all, fall to the ground and then get up as if nothing had happened a few seconds later. (Of course to this patient “as if nothing happened,” is not what is going through their mind.)

...this group of patients can suffer both atherosclerosis and vertebrobasilar insufficiency. In this group of patients, it would not take much by way of neck rotation compression to cut off blood flow to the brain in arteries that are internally clogged.

The main advance in the understanding of blood flow to the structures in the brain, head, face, and neck including the cranial arteries has been in our opinion extracranial and transcranial doppler ultrasound, primarily because this can be done in a physician’s office by the physician or his trained staff.  A problem is, is that these tests are done with the patient in a standard or static position.

Most patients know the exact head position that gives them the symptoms of dizziness, “lack of oxygen to the brain,” and related problems. I can tell you that head position is almost always when they are standing or sitting upright, not when they are lying down, as when these vascular tests are almost always done.

For many years, I ordered these tests and wanted the technician to perform the test in the patient’s “vulnerable to symptoms” position, not in the lying down position. Our patients would relay to us that, unfortunately, their tests were not done the way I ordered them primarily because the technician simply tells the patient, “we don’t do the tests that way.”

Even when disruptions of blood flow were found on the test, the radiologist reading the test would call the test normal. Once when talking to a neurosurgeon colleague he explained “You have to learn to read the scans yourself. The radiologists don’t have experience in reading results from the craniocervical junction.” I was shocked actually when he told me this, but now I know it is true.

The nerves, veins, and arteries of the body are protected from harm because they run close to the bones. Often they are within a few millimeters of bone; thus, any excessive movement of the joints or bones can directly compress and stretch the nerves.

It should be noted that the symptoms are often different when the nervous tissue involved is in the peripheral nervous system versus the autonomic nervous system versus the central nervous system. Central nervous system nerve tension is typically from upper cervical instability and not only affects the cervical spinal cord but can involve the brainstem and brain. When the brainstem and/or brain nerve impulses are altered, the effects can be far-reaching and more dramatic.

Nervous tissue, like the other tissues of the body, depends on nutrient flow into it and toxin flow out. If the flow of nutrient blood flow into the nerve is deficient, the nerve cell function will be impaired and likewise, if the neuron (nerve) cells can not get rid of waste products (toxins) out, it will swell and again nerve impulses will be abnormal. If the fluid flow into or out of individual neurons and collectively (nerves themselves) is compromised so is nerve function.

When one understands the anatomy at the craniocervical junction, it is easy to see how upper cervical instability could cause a blockage of CSF or arterial flow and/or venous drainage causing neurologic-like symptoms. Even if it is just the CSF that is increased, eventually this will lead to an increase in intracranial pressure which can cause reduced blood flow to the nervous tissue in the brain and spinal cord, potentially causing damage.

...anyone with unusual neurological symptoms that go undiagnosed or unexplained by traditional medical means should consider a motion scan of the cervical spine looking for instability. Cervical instability is very reversible cause of many neurological symptoms and syndromes.

When cervical myelopathy patients lay prone – everything calms down – a test where you are laying down is probably not a good test if you are looking for active blood flow problems.

“When it gets bad, I lay down and things calm down for me.”

Often people in their pre-patient interview will tell us that their brain fog and related problems reduce in severity if they lay down. Simply they say things like:

I have neck pain, cognitive problems, insomnia, headache, dizziness, fatigue, and brain fog. When it gets bad, I lay down and things calm down for me. The problem is I am now spending days laying in bed.

Conclusion? Prone positions and non-prone positions create a different [pattern of] blood flow.

...Our testing and treatment center is equipped with x-ray diagnostics with digital motion x-ray because the traditional scans missed so many instabilities.

If the blood flow is intermittently compromised, such as only when the neck is in certain positions, it will be difficult to catch and diagnose. To assess proper blood flow to the body’s most important nerves and nervous tissue (the brain), especially with head and neck motions, we perform transcranial doppler (TCD) and extracranial Doppler (ECD) ultrasound examinations.

It is through dynamic transcranial doppler (TCD) and extracranial Doppler (ECD) ultrasound analysis that this decrease in blood supply can be documented with its root cause being compression of the arteries as they run through the cervical spine.

The problems of Atlantoaxial instability are not problems that sit in isolation. A patient that suffers from Atlantoaxial instability will likely be seen to suffer from many problems as they all relate to upper cervical neck ligament damage and cervical instability. As demonstrated below this includes cervical subluxation, (misalignment of the cervical vertabrae). One of the causes of Vertebrobasilar insufficiency is this cervical misalignment and its “pinching,” or “herniation,” not of a disc, but of the arteries themselves as we suggested above. This creates the situation of ischemia.

When the cervical spine ligaments are weakened, they cannot hold the cervical spine in proper alignment or in its proper anatomical curve. Your head begins to move in a destructive, degenerative manner on top of your neck. This is when cervical artery compression can occur.

In our 2014 research led by Danielle R. Steilen-Matias, MMS, PA-C, published in The Open Orthopaedics Journal, we demonstrated that when the neck ligaments are injured, they become elongated and loose, which causes excessive movement of the cervical vertebrae. In the upper cervical spine (C0-C2), this can cause a number of other symptoms including, but not limited to, nerve irritation, vertebrobasilar insufficiency with associated vertigo and dizziness, tinnitus, facial pain, arm pain, and migraine headaches.

Treating and stabilizing the cervical ligaments can alleviate these problems by preventing excessive abnormal vertebrae movement, the development or advancing of cervical osteoarthritis, and the myriad of problematic symptoms they cause including nerve and arterial compression.

Hi all. 

I know it’s been a LOOOOOOONG time since i’ve been on this platform. I geared myself more towards Instagram the last few years but now Instagram is so mainstream with my normie friends that I don’t feel comfortable being my full spoonie zebra self on there anymore. 

I’ve had a wild couple years. various treatments the retirement of my Primary who got me through the worst of things. several more spinal surgeries more invasive treatments which I will talk about more soon. and then the loss of a incredible friend. 

Things have been really looking up though with my Prolotherapy and PRP treatments. however due to what I believe are hormone related issues my period is RUINING my treatments and I need to figure this out. Cause my neck has begun cracking VERY BADLY again up to  DOZEN times in one day this week and the migraines and pain are getting scary. I was so active the last three months and now I’ve been trapped back in my bed again. 

To say the least Im scared, devastated, single again and just worried about my life and my choices. 

Been crying a lot and needing emotional support. 

Discover how prolotherapy may fit into a personalized approach to managing chronic low back pain. Learn how this injection-based regenerative treatment is evaluated, what current research suggests, who may be a candidate, and why a thorough medical assessment is essential. Explore the treatment process, potential benefits, and realistic expectations to make informed decisions about your care.

Chronic pain can affect far more than physical comfort. Persistent back pain, knee pain, neck stiffness, shoulder problems or recurring sports injuries may limit mobility, interrupt sleep, reduce activity levels and make everyday tasks more difficult. Many people try pain medication, rest, physiotherapy or other conservative treatments but continue to experience symptoms when the underlying problem involves weakened ligaments, tendon damage or joint instability.

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment designed to support the body’s natural healing response. It is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal pain, ligament weakness, tendon problems and certain joint conditions. Rather than focusing only on temporary symptom relief, prolotherapy aims to improve tissue strength and joint stability where clinically appropriate.

At Proback, prolotherapy is offered as part of a personalised approach to chronic pain management and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Treatment plans are based on a detailed assessment of the patient’s symptoms, medical history, physical function and underlying condition.

What Is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy, also known as proliferative therapy or regenerative injection therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that involves injecting a solution into targeted ligaments, tendons or other affected musculoskeletal structures.

A dextrose-based solution is commonly used. The purpose of the injection is to stimulate a controlled local healing response. This may encourage tissue repair, collagen production and improved structural support in weakened or damaged connective tissues.

Ligaments connect bones to other bones and help stabilise joints. Tendons connect muscles to bones and transfer force during movement. When these structures are injured, overstretched or repeatedly overloaded, they may contribute to pain, reduced movement and joint instability.

Prolotherapy is intended to support the repair and strengthening of these tissues. It may be considered when chronic pain is associated with ligament laxity, tendon injury or reduced joint stability.

At Proback, prolotherapy may be used for a range of musculoskeletal concerns, including chronic back pain, neck pain, knee pain, ankle problems, shoulder conditions, sports injuries and degenerative joint symptoms.

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

The body normally responds to injury through a sequence of biological processes that includes inflammation, tissue repair and remodelling. However, some ligaments and tendons have limited blood supply and may heal slowly. Repetitive strain, previous injuries, ageing and ongoing mechanical stress can also interfere with recovery.

During prolotherapy, a carefully selected solution is injected into specific areas associated with pain, tissue weakness or instability. The treatment is intended to create a controlled local response that activates the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

The proposed process may include:

Targeted stimulation: The injected solution stimulates the treated tissue.

Local healing response: The body directs repair-related cells and biological signals towards the area.

Collagen production: New collagen may be produced during tissue repair.

Tissue remodelling: The repaired tissue gradually adapts and strengthens over time.

Improved stability: Stronger connective tissues may provide better support for the affected joint.

Reduced symptoms: As function and stability improve, some patients may experience less pain and greater mobility.

The response varies between individuals. The outcome may depend on the condition being treated, the severity and duration of symptoms, the patient’s age, general health, activity level and adherence to rehabilitation advice.

What Conditions Can Prolotherapy Treat?

Prolotherapy may be considered for a broad range of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. It is particularly relevant when pain may be associated with ligament weakness, tendon injury, repetitive strain or joint instability.

Chronic Back Pain

Chronic lower back pain can have several causes, including muscle strain, joint dysfunction, degenerative changes, disc-related problems and reduced spinal stability.

In some patients, weakened or injured ligaments may contribute to ongoing discomfort. Prolotherapy may be considered as part of a broader treatment plan when a clinical assessment suggests that connective tissue weakness or instability is involved.

Treatment may be combined with rehabilitation exercises, posture improvement, manual therapy or other non-surgical approaches where appropriate.

Chronic Neck Pain

Neck pain may develop following poor posture, repetitive strain, prolonged desk work, sports injuries or trauma such as whiplash.

When symptoms are associated with ligament injury or cervical instability, prolotherapy may be explored as a regenerative treatment option. The aim is to support tissue repair and improve structural stability rather than simply suppressing symptoms.

A thorough examination is important because neck pain can have multiple causes and may require different treatment approaches.

Knee Pain and Knee Instability

The knee is exposed to substantial force during walking, running, climbing stairs and sporting activity. Previous injuries, ligament damage, overuse and degenerative changes can affect knee stability and function.

Prolotherapy may be used to target selected ligaments, tendons and joint structures when clinically appropriate. It may be considered for chronic knee pain, ligament weakness, recurrent instability and some degenerative joint concerns.

Proback describes prolotherapy for knee pain as a regenerative injection technique intended to stimulate the body’s repair response in affected ligaments, tendons and joint structures.

Shoulder Pain

The shoulder is highly mobile but depends on a complex system of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joint structures for stability.

Shoulder symptoms may be associated with:

Rotator cuff injuries

Tendinopathy

Ligament or capsular weakness

Repetitive strain

Joint instability

Degenerative changes

Previous sports injuries

Prolotherapy may be considered when weakened connective tissues contribute to persistent pain or instability. A clinical assessment is necessary to identify the structures involved and determine whether regenerative injections are suitable.

Elbow Pain

Chronic elbow pain may develop because of repetitive gripping, lifting, sport or occupational activity. Conditions such as tennis elbow may involve tendon irritation and degeneration.

Prolotherapy may be considered for selected tendon and ligament problems when conservative treatment has not provided adequate improvement.

Ankle Pain and Ligament Injuries

Ankle sprains are common and may lead to long-term ligament weakness or recurrent instability. Some people continue to experience pain, reduced confidence or repeated injuries after an initial sprain.

Prolotherapy may be used to support ligament healing and improve joint stability in suitable cases. Rehabilitation exercises remain important because strength, balance and movement control can affect long-term recovery.

Sports Injuries

Athletes and active individuals may experience ligament sprains, tendon injuries, repetitive strain and chronic joint pain.

Prolotherapy may be considered when an injury has not responded adequately to rest, rehabilitation or other conservative care. The goal is to support tissue repair and improve the ability of the affected area to tolerate activity.

A return-to-sport programme should be based on symptoms, functional progress and clinical guidance.

Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Changes

Osteoarthritis involves changes to joint cartilage and other structures. Symptoms may include pain, stiffness, reduced movement and difficulty with weight-bearing activities.

Prolotherapy may be considered for some people with degenerative joint symptoms, particularly when ligament weakness or instability contributes to pain. However, it does not reverse every structural change associated with arthritis, and outcomes can vary.

Treatment should be based on the severity of the condition, functional limitations and the patient’s overall health.

Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Pain

Plantar fasciitis can cause pain around the heel or sole of the foot, particularly during the first steps after rest.

Persistent symptoms may be linked to repeated strain and changes within the plantar fascia. Prolotherapy may be considered for selected chronic cases alongside footwear advice, activity modification and rehabilitation.

Tendinitis and Tendinopathy

Tendon problems may develop through repetitive loading, sudden increases in activity or long-term tissue changes.

Prolotherapy may be used to support the healing response in selected tendon conditions. The treatment plan may also include progressive strengthening because appropriately managed loading is often important for tendon recovery.

What Happens During a Prolotherapy Appointment?

A prolotherapy treatment plan should begin with a comprehensive assessment. The purpose is to identify the likely source of pain and determine whether regenerative injection therapy is appropriate.

At Proback, the assessment may include a review of medical history, physical examination and diagnostic imaging when required.

A typical treatment process may include the following stages.

1. Initial Consultation

The clinician may ask about:

When the symptoms began

Previous injuries

The location and nature of the pain

Activities that worsen or improve symptoms

Previous treatments

Medical conditions

Current medication

Exercise and activity levels

The assessment may also include movement testing, joint examination and evaluation of strength or stability.

2. Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

The clinician will consider whether the symptoms may be related to ligament weakness, tendon injury, joint instability or another musculoskeletal problem.

If prolotherapy is considered suitable, the clinician will explain:

The proposed treatment area

The expected treatment process

Potential benefits and limitations

Possible risks and side effects

The likely number of sessions

Recovery guidance

The role of rehabilitation

3. Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned and prepared. The injection is then delivered into carefully selected structures.

The exact technique depends on the body area, the condition and the clinical findings.

4. Injection Treatment

A dextrose-based solution may be injected into targeted ligaments, tendons or other relevant tissues.

Some patients experience pressure, temporary discomfort or soreness during the procedure. The sensation varies according to the treatment area and individual pain sensitivity.

5. Aftercare

Patients may receive advice about:

Managing temporary soreness

Modifying activity

Returning to exercise

Rehabilitation

Follow-up appointments

Many people can return to normal daily activities on the same day, although strenuous activity may need to be adjusted according to clinical guidance.

How Many Prolotherapy Sessions Are Needed?

The number of prolotherapy sessions varies. Some conditions may require a series of treatments because tissue repair and remodelling take time.

The treatment plan may depend on:

The body area being treated

The severity of the injury

The duration of symptoms

The degree of joint instability

The patient’s age

General health

Activity demands

Response to previous treatment

Proback states that many cases may respond within approximately three to six treatments, although the required number varies between patients.

Treatment sessions may be spaced several weeks apart to allow the body time to respond. The clinician will monitor progress and adjust the plan where necessary.

What Are the Benefits of Prolotherapy?

Potential benefits may include:

A Non-Surgical Treatment Option

Prolotherapy is minimally invasive and may be considered by people who want to explore non-surgical options for chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Support for Ligament and Tendon Repair

The treatment is intended to stimulate the body’s natural repair response and support connective tissue strengthening.

Improved Joint Stability

When pain is related to ligament weakness or joint instability, improved tissue support may contribute to better movement and function.

Reduced Chronic Pain

Some patients experience a reduction in pain as the treated area recovers and becomes more stable.

Better Mobility

Improved comfort and stability may help patients move more freely and return to everyday activities.

Reduced Dependence on Temporary Symptom Management

Prolotherapy aims to address tissue health and structural support rather than focusing only on short-term pain suppression.

Personalised Treatment

The treatment can be incorporated into a broader plan that may include rehabilitation, exercise, manual therapy or other appropriate technologies.

Is Prolotherapy Safe?

Prolotherapy is generally considered a minimally invasive treatment when performed by a suitably trained and experienced clinician. However, no injection procedure is completely risk-free.

Possible temporary effects may include:

Soreness at the injection site

Local swelling

Bruising

Temporary stiffness

Increased discomfort during the early healing response

Less common risks may include infection, bleeding, allergic reaction or injury to nearby structures. The level of risk depends on the treatment area, injection technique and individual health factors.

A qualified clinician should review the patient’s medical history and explain the potential risks before treatment.

Prolotherapy may not be suitable for everyone. People with certain medical conditions, active infections, bleeding concerns or other health issues may require additional assessment.

Who May Be a Suitable Candidate for Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy may be considered for people who have:

Chronic back or neck pain

Recurrent joint instability

Persistent knee pain

Chronic ankle instability

Ligament injuries

Tendon problems

Sports-related injuries

Shoulder or elbow pain

Repetitive strain injuries

Chronic musculoskeletal symptoms that have not improved with conservative care

A consultation is necessary because similar symptoms can have different causes. For example, knee pain may arise from ligament injury, arthritis, tendon problems, cartilage changes or referred pain from another area.

An accurate diagnosis is essential before deciding whether prolotherapy is appropriate.

Prolotherapy vs Steroid Injections

Prolotherapy and steroid injections have different treatment goals.

Steroid injections are generally intended to reduce inflammation and may provide short-term symptom relief. They do not aim to strengthen weakened ligaments or stimulate connective tissue repair.

Prolotherapy is designed to stimulate a healing response and support tissue strengthening.

The most suitable treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptoms and clinical goals. Some patients may benefit from rehabilitation or other conservative approaches instead of either injection treatment.

Prolotherapy vs PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, uses a concentrated preparation derived from the patient’s own blood. Platelets contain growth factors involved in tissue repair.

Prolotherapy commonly uses a dextrose-based solution to stimulate a local healing response.

Both treatments are used within regenerative medicine, but they work differently and may be recommended for different conditions.

The choice may depend on:

The type of tissue involved

The severity of the injury

Treatment goals

Medical history

Cost considerations

Clinical assessment

PRP may be more complex and can involve additional preparation. Prolotherapy may be a more accessible regenerative injection option for certain patients.

Prolotherapy vs Physiotherapy

Prolotherapy and physiotherapy are not necessarily competing treatments.

Physiotherapy can help improve:

Strength

Mobility

Balance

Movement control

Posture

Functional capacity

Prolotherapy may be used to support tissue repair when ligament or tendon weakness is contributing to symptoms.

In some cases, combining regenerative treatment with structured rehabilitation may provide a more comprehensive approach.

Prolotherapy vs Surgery

Surgery may be necessary for some severe injuries or structural problems. However, many people prefer to explore appropriate non-surgical options before considering an operation.

Prolotherapy may be considered when symptoms are associated with connective tissue weakness or joint instability and when the condition is suitable for regenerative treatment.

It is not a replacement for surgery in every case. The decision should be based on diagnosis, imaging, symptom severity and clinical advice.

How Long Does Prolotherapy Take to Work?

Prolotherapy is not usually intended to provide immediate results. Tissue healing and collagen remodelling take time.

Some people may notice changes after the first treatment, while others experience gradual improvement over several weeks or months.

Recovery may be influenced by:

The condition being treated

The duration of symptoms

The extent of tissue damage

The number of treatment sessions

Rehabilitation participation

Activity modification

General health

Progress should be assessed over time rather than judged only by the first few days after an injection.

Prolotherapy Recovery and Aftercare

Following the clinician’s aftercare instructions is important.

General guidance may include:

Keep the treated area moving as advised.

Avoid excessive strain immediately after treatment.

Follow recommendations regarding exercise.

Attend scheduled follow-up appointments.

Complete prescribed rehabilitation exercises.

Report unusual or severe symptoms promptly.

The clinician may provide specific guidance based on the treatment area.

For example, recovery advice for a knee may differ from guidance following treatment to the shoulder, ankle or spine.
