You know this process is happening when you feel the pain, heat, note swelling, and cannot move the injured joint. The torn or strained ligament is really millions of tears of these strands which are molecules of collagen. These sensations also include feelings of "numbness and tingling" and a phenomena of referred pain. Such manipulative techniques will often give good relief and sometimes permanent relief. The granulation phase will be present for ten days to two weeks.
The individual molecules are held together by strong chemical bonds, As the collagen fibers wind around each other, they begin to contract and the molecules become shorter and tighter. The third phase of inflammation lasts for a number of weeks, and the "new ligament" tissue will not reach its maximum strength for several months. Prolotherapy is not a new technique.
