Estradiol Inhibits Healing

< Back to Prolotherapy Article Index  

One of our jobs at Caring Medical is to help our patients have the best chance to heal from their pain. Prolotherapy is the treatment of choice in our opinion for lax (injured) tendons and ligament which cause pain.
There are plenty of things a person can do to aid healing.  A good diet and proper exercise are a given. Most people intuitively know why they are important, and we can educate folks in the particulars. Not so apparent is the effect that hormones can have on the healing response.
If you were to sit in our waiting room for a day, or in most other pain clinics for that matter, you would see that there are significantly more women in them than men.
