Guna MD Collagen: Therapeutic Applications
Collagen in Orthopaedics
Traumatic injuries, just like overuse and aging, damage the integrity of collagen fibers, which appear no longer organized in a parallel or linear way and may display lacerations.
Collagen in Traumatology
Damaged tissue undergoes a long recovery process: a short inflammation phase is followed by a proliferative (repair) phase and then a remodeling phase. Guna collagen injections assists in the repair of tissues, muscle fibres and cartilage.
Collagen in Sport Medicine
This can be the case of acute muscular, ligament or tendon injuries, so frequent in professional and amateur athletes, continuous microtrauma caused by repetitive stress typical of sports activities also have a detrimental effect of collagen structures.
Collagen in Aesthetics
As we age, there is a natural decline in collagen production. Another factor contributing to decreased collagen levels is free radicals from UV exposure. Areas with less support begin to cave in and wrinkles begin to form. The destruction of collagen is a major contribution to the loss of skin suppleness and structure.
Collagen in Maxillo Facial
Myofascial pain within masticatory muscles is a popular muscle disorder among patients attending dental practitioners. Intramuscular collagen injections is a more efficient method for reducing myofascial pain within masseter muscles compared to lidocaine. (see "clinical" for trials).
Integrative medicine
Prolotherapy uses sugar based solutions and various other injectables, which are injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. This causes a localized inflammation in these weak areas, which then increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself.
