What is Reconstructive Therapy?Reconstructive therapy is an injection technique that has been shown to cause growth of cells and tissue to stabilize and strengthen weakened joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons. It was discovered in the 1920's by George S. Hackett, M.D., Dr. Shumann, and Dr. Gedney, Osteopathic Surgeons.
What does Reconstructive Therapy address?
Your ligaments function as the primary stabilizers of the joints in your body. They connect your bones to each other. Ligaments also function to limit the range of motion that your bones can move between each other. Tendons connect your muscles to your bones in order to provide motion.
For example, your spine is composed of bone, tendons, ligaments, discs and cartilage. Discs and cartilage serve as shock absorbers and keep your bones from rubbing against one another. In acute injuries the ligaments and tendons become torn and are unable to stabilize joint areas. This causes the discs or cartilage to become worn down. They may also be worn down by repeated motion. This wear down (see figure #1) ultimately leads to joint instability resulting in constant pain, less and less mobility and lack of endurance.
What does Reconstructive Therapy do?Reconstructive therapy stimulates your own body tissue's healing mechanism. It promotes the body's own natural healing ability. Each treatment session results in more tissue being laid down in the needed areas. As a result the joints continue to become stronger and more stabilized. (See figure #2) Thus the natural functions of the body are regained.

Pain becomes less and less and in almost all cases disappears entirely. Reconstructive therapy can be administered whenever ligaments, tendons, cartilage and/or discs are torn and worn.
10 Vital Points to Know about Reconstructive Therapy
- It promotes the body's own natural healing ability.
- The natural functions of the body are regained and optimized.
- No drugs or surgery are used.
- Relieves pain.
- In a double blind human study where neither patients nor the researchers knew specifically who was receiving the treatment, 88.5% of those injected with the reconstructive solution showed improvement.
- Reconstructive therapy is capable of increasing the strength and structure in ligaments and tendons 30-40% over normal.
- Results are permanent.
- No down time.
- No significant side effects.
- Very conservative treatment; doesn't remove body parts like surgery.
