Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Prolotherapy is a controlled injury to the connective tissues of joints and their capsules, tendons, ligaments and cartilages. Injury triggers the activation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) within treated areas. When an injury occurs, it creates a localized microenvironment rich in cytokines and growth factors that attract and activate various stem cells, including MSCs. This activation is part of a…

Prolotherapy is a treatment used for various musculoskeletal disorders. This approach relies on activating locally resident mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through physiological mechanisms. MSCs are pluripotent cells primarily responsible for repairing damaged tissues. These cells are present in all tissues of the organism. While some researchers believe that these cells are organ-specific, others do not share this view. The activation processes of MSCs predominantly occur locally at the treatment site, although some global effects may also be observed. A key event in the treatment involves the controlled induction of a local injury through the injection of various glucose-based solutions into the fibrous connections (entheses). This process leads to several outcomes: – Local extravasation of all blood components – Formation of a clot that serves as a scaffold for future collagen synthesis – Osmotic and chemical effects of the injected solutions – Release of various growth factors and cytokines – Neurohormonal and immunological responses – Local proliferation of fibroblasts, which begin to produce collagen – Differentiation of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts Myofibroblasts possess tensile properties and are capable of altering (restoring) the structure of the local tissue through mechanotransduction and mechanosensitivity. Ultimately, this process contributes to the restoration of organ function within the pre-stressed tensegrity system.

Prolotherapy: Targets Carpal and Palmar ligaments
By Jon Trister MD Prolotherapy is an effective treatment for various wrist and hand issues associated with laxity, instability, and altered function in these areas. The following structures are commonly targeted for Prolotherapy injections: Carpal Ligaments The carpal ligaments comprise both intrinsic (connecting carpal bones) and extrinsic (connecting forearm bones to carpal bones) structures. Transverse Carpal Ligament (TCL) …

Synergism of the muscles, tendons and ligaments around the glenohumeral joint.(Literature review)
The Supraspinatus muscle collaborates with several structures, including muscles and ligaments, to effectively stabilize and facilitate movement in the shoulder joint. Below is a detailed breakdown: Muscles that Work with the Supraspinatus 1. Deltoid Muscle: The supraspinatus initiates arm abduction (0° to 15°) and works in concert with the deltoid to continue abduction beyond this range. As the angle increases,…

Key Components of the Elbow Joint literature review by Jon Trister MD
Key Components of the Elbow Joint Bones: Humerus, Ulna, Radius Ligaments: Ligaments are tough connective tissues that stabilize the elbow by connecting bones to bones. The primary ligaments of the elbow include: Medial (Ulnar) Collateral Ligament (MCL): Provides stability on the inner side of the elbow, resisting valgus forces.Lateral (Radial) Collateral Ligament (LCL): Stabilizes the outer side of the elbow, resisting varus…
