Nutrition Delivery

Posted on June 14th, 2007 in Uncategorized by chris

As Prolotherapy stimulates blood vessel growth into tissues, a unique opportunity to deliver a variety of essential nutrients to these areas develops. We now know that our Healing Ability, Immune Response, Cardiovascular System and Metabolism are adversely affected by Nutrient Deficiency. The doctor therefore must perform a Nutritional Assessment and physical exam prior to beginning therapy so as to maximize results. A specialized Vitamin and Mineral blood test is done to assess nutrient status, absorption and digestive ability. The doctor then reviews the patient’s daily food diary and blood work. A nutritional protocol is recommended that is tailored to each individual. This is the most specific and advantageous way to optimize nutritional status and therefore benefit from reconstructive therapy.
