Prolotherapy is one of the treatments that I use and is very efficient for countering acute as well as chronic pain. It belongs to the interventional techniques that I use in the Pain Clinic.

\n

Lower back pain (with or no reflection in leg) is a common problem nowadays. It can be caused by apparent causes such as bad body posture during work or in-house, accidents, degenerative lesions, following surgical operations, or even by causes that are less obvious and are closely related to the life model that contemporary humans adopt, minor injuries that are not properly evaluated, or due to earlier injuries that have been forgotten by the patient himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Functional pain syndromes are the conditions where the patient complains of pain and other functional disorders that are not accompanied by a corresponding lesion. Depending on the location of the main complaints enters the corresponding diagnosis. Thus, we have the irritable bowel syndrome, chronic back pain,<\/a> temporomandibular joint dysfunction<\/a>, tinnitus syndrome, migraine, atypical facial pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, urethral syndrome, neurogenic bladder, interstitial cystitis, chronic prostatitis, atypical chest pain, angina pectoris, and idiopathic arthritis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
