Abstract
Exercise programs are advocated for the treatment of chronic low back pain, but the client often lacks the appropriate ligamentous support that is optimal for an exercise program to be effective. Once injured, ligaments have a limited capacity for recovery and recovery can be related to the degree of ligament injury. Clients that fail to progress adequately with stabilization programs may require further intervention before exercise therapy can achieve optimal results. Prolotherapy is an example of one intervention that may prove beneficial. Prolotherapy is the injection of a proliferant solution into the osseoligamentous junction of the incompetent ligaments in order to induce a healing response that will help strengthen the ligaments and provide more passive support to the joints. A review of the literature is presented that outlines the benefits of prolotherapy in low back pain.
