Prolopuncture

What Is Prolopuncture/Prolotherapy?

Prolopuncture is an injection of B12 and Dextrose in Acupuncture points. Prolotherapy is similar to Prolopuncture; however, the injections are made at Acupuncture points with Prolopuncture. Prolopuncture helps your body make new cells and fibrous tissue to help repair soft tissue injuries in joints. The name “prolo” comes from the proliferation, rapid growth or reproduction of new cells, of fibrous tissue and “puncture” because of the use of Acupuncture points. It will also strengthen lax or partially torn tendons and ligaments. The all natural ingredients in Prolopuncture causes the existing injured soft tissue to make fibrous tissue. This fibrous tissue will mend tears in soft tissue, tendons, ligaments, labrum, meniscus, and cartilage as well as thickening the soft tissue. The process of thickening soft tissue and creating fibrous tissue will prevent bones from touching, which decreases pain. Western Medicine encourages healthcare providers to prescribe painkillers, which only mask the pain until you wear out the soft tissue in the joint creating it to become bone on bone situation. At that point, the only option is surgery and/or an artificial joint replacement.

Everyone is a unique individual and one weight loss program isn’t going to work for everyone. We will individualize a weight loss program for each individual patient since everyone is so different. We sit down with you and caters a specific weight loss protocol for your body type. We determine the patient’s individual’s body type by Tongue Diagnosis. The Tongue is like a “fingerprint” that changes as you go thru life. No one has the same tongue and the tongue will change as the patient’s health changes. Tongue Diagnosis shows the history of the patient’s health, also their health at that moment and the future of the patient’s health. Dr. House also utilizes Herbs, Homeopathy, Nutritional Counseling, Vibration Therapy and Ionic Foot Bath Detox to assist his patients in their desired weight and body fat percentage. Dr. House eats this amazing way and has a body fat percentage of 11 percent (men’s’ normal range is 10 percent to 18 percent and women’s’ normal range is 15 percent to 25 percent).All Natural Healing also utilizes HGH, Herbal Hormone Balance formulas, Herbal Weight Loss formulas, Liver Detox herbs, Waist Trimmer belts, B-12 shots or Lipotropic shots as added options to the Weight loss program. We have had amazing results with both herbal formulas and shots. The Lipotropic shot consists of B-12 and a combination of amino acids that helps metabolize fat stops the craving of carbohydrates gives you energy and builds lean muscle. We recommend the patients who want to use either of the shots, they should take either of them 2x/week to speed of the weight loss.

“Doctor” in my book means “HEALER” & also means “TEACHER.” This day and age you would think the definition is “Drug Dealer & Butcher!” Dr. House spends 60+ minutes with each patient the 1st time you meet for the program to teach them on what foods to eat or not eat for their individual body type. This lifestyle has been proven over the 5,000 yrs of Oriental Medicine, another words you won’t be a lab rat to some new fad weight loss program.

Dr. House’s desire is to educate his patients/clients on how to live a healthy lifestyle, so when they get down to their desired weight, they stay there. There are so many different ways to lose weight and even more ways to keep it off. Dr. House uses a method that has been proven over 5,000 years; this isn’t the latest and greatest “fad diet” that seems to come out every year. His program is the way we are all supposed to eat and if you know how to do that, you will fall back into your normal body fat percentage. So this is truly “Nutritional Counseling” but living in the most obese country in the world, it has become a “Weight Loss Program.” For more information on Dr. House’s “Weight Loss Program” and “Nutritional Counseling,” please call 941-953-3700 and set up a FREE CONSULTATION.

How Is Prolopuncture Performed?

Prolopuncture consists of using a fine needle to inject an all natural solution into tendons, ligaments, labrum, meniscus, cartilage, and joints via the Acupuncture points. The substance used is called Dextrose, a kind of sugar, and B12. The Dextrose irritates the tissue because Dextrose is a scarring substance that promotes new growth of fibrous tissue to mend tears and repair the injured soft tissue. This happens when you break a bone or when you cut yourself. So another words the Dextrose makes the body do the same process when mending broken bones or when you cut your skin. Without the assistance of the Dextrose the body doesn’t mend tears in your joints, like it does when you break a bone or cut yourself. The growing of the fibrous tissue promotes joint stability, mending repairs, thickening degenerative soft tissue and reducing pain. When injected into the torn tendons, ligament, labrums, meniscus, cartilage or joints, the Dextrose solution induces a physiological reaction that stimulates the soft tissue to create fibrous tissue just like when you cut yourself. The Dextrose induces the migration of fibroblasts (the body’s repair cells) to the site of injury. Fibroblasts lay down new connective and fibrous tissue and in so doing, enlarges, mends and strengthens the damaged tendons, ligaments, labrum, meniscus, and cartilage.

Who Is A Good Candidate For Prolopuncture?

A good “Prolopuncture candidate”, is one in which the patient has suffered a degeneration or accidental trauma to the connective tissue or soft tissue of a joint or the ligaments and/or tendons that stabilize the joint. This would include but not only be specific to patients with:

Lateral epicondylitis, medial epicondylitis (tennis/golfer’s elbow)
Rotator cuff injuries, including supraspinatus tendinosis, rotator cuff impingement syndromes, and calcific tendinitis, also glenoid fossa osteoarthritis
Knee injuries, including lax or partially torn cruciate ligaments, torn or degenerative meniscus and cartilage, enthesopathy (origin and insertion injuries to tendons and ligaments), as in injuries to the tibiofibular ligaments
Osteoarthritic changes to the knees, including chondromalacia patellae and degenerative osteoarthritis of the cartilage and meniscus
Arthritis.
Partial tears of tendons, ligaments and/or muscles.
Plantar fasciitis and tarsal tunnel syndrome
Arthritic changes to small joints of the fingers and toes
Costochondritis, costovertebral ligament laxity and hyper-mobil ribs
Hip injuries, including torn labrum, and/or lax or partially torn ligaments

Prolopuncture stimulates healing with creating “fibrous tissue,” in soft tissue injuries. This healing response occurs because the injection of the Dextrose solution into the injured tissue stimulates the body’s own fibroblasts to migrate into the affected area and rebuild the damaged and frayed tissue. The Prolopuncture solution is made of a compound which causes proliferation of connective tissue. Ligaments, tendons, meniscus, cartilage, labrum, and joints have a notoriously poor blood supply and are difficult to heal. It is recommended not to do anything that would strain or irritate the area trying to heal. Irritating the affected area can be compared to picking a scab on a wound; the wound will eventually heal but will take a lot longer. It might even require additional Prolopuncture. It is in the patient’s best interest to act as if the area were like when one has a broken bone; although soft tissue injuries are harder to heal than hard tissue (like bone). So, having this mindset will help the healing process. If you had an open wound and you kept sticking your finger in it; it would take longer to heal. It’s always better to be “safe than sorry.” During the Prolo treatments, one’s activity level should be no more 25%. The body only has so much energy and if you are spreading that energy thin by doing other activities, thats less energy the body has to heal.

What To Expect From A Course Of Prolopuncture?

On your initial visit, Dr. House will review your health history and perform a physical exam specific to your condition. He will also review your prior medical records, including X-rays, CAT scans, and MRI reports, if available. Once the location and nature of the injury are confirmed, a course of Prolopuncture treatments can be prescribed. The Prolopuncture treatment protocol calls for 10 treatments of Prolopuncture every 2 to 3 days. Then a month is taken off and if there is anymore severe symptoms Dr.House strongly recommends getting 2 more Prolopuncture treatments within a year of the last treatment. Only 10% of the patients have to do the 2 extra treatments usually due to not following what Dr.House recommended during your treatments. Most patients consider the pain of Prolo injections to be significantly less than the chronic pain of their injured. All patients are encouraged to moderate their activities for 24 hours following each session, after which they can resume normal physical activity. Pain following the injections is usually short term. Putting Ice or frozen peas on the area 3 to 5xs for 10 minutes with a 30 minute break between icings is recommended to ease post-injection stiffness & pain. After 24 hours of the Prolo treatment, Dr.House explains, how “Heat is your friend & cold is your enemy.” Other words, stop using ice and use heat to make your injured area feel better. Some patients experience pain and swelling at the injection site for 1-3 days following the procedure. If the ice & heat isn’t getting the desired relief, then we recommend the patients take 4% Lidocaine roll-on/cream directly on the area for the pain, but NOT aspirin or any type of anti-inflammatory medications like Advil or Aleve, which can inhibit the healing response. A Specific non-mucous forming diet & stretching are prescribed after the 1st treatment and are continued thru the 6-8 months of rehab & recovery. The response to treatment is cumulative, with benefits compounding with each treatment. Remember, the treatments take 21 to 28 days, the soft tissue will continue to grow and repair for an additional 6 months after the last treatment. Dr. House will give you a 6-8 month Rehab Assignment which will include a detailed protocol of what you will need to do for the next 6-8 months to rehab & recover from your injury. The course of Prolopuncture treatments, Dr. House likens to surgery. The only difference is Prolopuncture is a non-surgical treatment and the protocol takes 21 to 28 days because the body can only heal so fast. Dr.House will guarantee you if you don’t follow his recommendations closely, you will not get the results you want. Dr.House is not only the Physician but he is also a Prolopuncture success story. Most Physicians never get injured in their field of expertise, so how do they really know what they are doing “REALLY” works. They don’t… Dr.House knows beyond a shadow of a doubt Prolopuncture works because if it worked for him and his very severe injury, it will work for any qualified Prolopuncture candidate.

I Feel Awesome

Recently during the preparations for the upcoming hurricane and afterwards, I realized the benefits of my efforts of the last couple of years. I was able to help a friend move three large car loads of his belongings from his home in Bradenton to my home in Sarasota and back home again.
