Car accident Injuries
If you have been involved in an automobile accident in Buffalo, you have to deal with the aftereffects of the crash. Even if you are not in pain right after the collision, you may begin to feel the discomfort and pain creep into your life a day or so later. For many people, this leads to chronic pain. For others, it leads to a life of pain medications.
If those options do not sound appealing to you, you should contact an experienced Buffalo car accident doctor, Mikhail Strut. Dr. Strut is a trusted pain management doctor who helps alleviate the chronic pain associated with auto accidents. He is an expert in prolotherapy and other treatment options designed to provide relief from pain and help you heal.

Headaches and Migraines
Prolotherapy may help with headaches and migraines related to neck injuries. We often see patients who come into our office with severe headaches following a car accident, especially when the injury involves ligament strain in the neck.
If you or a loved one is experiencing headaches and migraines after a car accident, or you are dealing with another type of neck injury, contact the experienced Buffalo doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab to learn how we may be able to help relieve your pain.
Upper back injuries
Upper back injuries often respond very well to prolotherapy. After an injury, many patients experience pain between the scapulae, or shoulder blades. In many cases, this is related to ligament damage, which prolotherapy is particularly well-suited to address.
Our experienced Buffalo prolotherapy doctors offer treatment options that do not require invasive or higher-risk surgery. Contact our team today to learn how we can help.
Knee injuries
Knee pain is one of the most common complaints we hear from patients in Buffalo. It does not take much for normal joint aches and pains to turn into chronic knee pain. In the past, many people felt their only options were risky surgery or ongoing pain medication. Today, Buffalo knee doctor Mikhail Strut offers another option: Prolotherapy.
Most knee pain is centered around tendon or ligament damage. These areas do not receive much blood flow, which can make natural healing more difficult. Rather than replacing the ligament or tendon, prolotherapy is used to inject a solution into the affected area to help stimulate the body’s natural healing response.
With prolotherapy, blood flow to the injured area may increase, allowing the body to focus more healing support where it is needed. For many patients, this can help improve both pain and function.
The knee can be affected by many different traumatic events. While your specific condition should always be properly diagnosed, surgery may not be the only option for addressing chronic knee pain. A series of prolotherapy treatments may help improve both symptoms and stability.
Contact the Buffalo knee doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab to schedule an appointment for expert knee injury treatment. Our office is conveniently located in Buffalo, New York.
Ankle injuries
Even though ankle injuries are common, they should not be taken lightly. If left untreated, ankle sprains and strains can progress into longer-term weakness, instability, and joint pain. The experienced pain management doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, NY, have years of experience treating ankle injuries.
If you are currently experiencing ankle pain and are looking for relief, contact our skilled Buffalo ankle injury doctors to help support your road to recovery.
Ligament injuries
Our bodies depend heavily on ligament strength. When you suffer a ligament injury, that strength is compromised, and the result can be significant pain and instability.
At RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, NY, our experienced WNY prolotherapy doctors can show you how prolotherapy may help regenerate and strengthen injured ligaments. Prolotherapy is designed to help restore ligament support and function so patients can move forward with less pain and better stability.
If you are suffering from a ligament injury in Buffalo or WNY, contact our experienced WNY prolotherapy doctors today to learn more about available treatment options.
How can prolotherapy help with ACL tears?
When patients tear an ACL, prolotherapy can be an appealing treatment option to explore. Many patients first look toward surgery, along with its risks and recovery time, when dealing with ACL injuries. Because prolotherapy is less invasive, many people find it to be a more attractive option when trying to support the body’s healing response.
Contact the experienced WNY prolotherapy doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab to learn more.
How can prolotherapy help with meniscus tears?
Meniscus tears are a common injury for patients in WNY. If you are dealing with knee ligament tears, including medial or lateral ligament tears, or multiple related injuries, prolotherapy may be an appropriate treatment option to discuss.
Surgery involving more than one or two ligaments can require significant healing time and may still leave patients dealing with reduced strength. As WNY prolotherapy doctors, we know exercise alone will not strengthen an injured ligament. Contact the experienced WNY prolotherapy doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab to learn more about your options.
Other injuries
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Patients with connective tissue and ligament-related conditions often deal with chronic pain, weakness, and instability that affect daily life. At RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, NY, our team works with patients experiencing complex pain conditions. It can help evaluate which treatment options may be appropriate for the individual case.
If you are dealing with chronic pain, ligament instability, or related concerns in Buffalo or WNY, contact our experienced team to learn more about available treatment options.
Whiplash injuries
Whiplash is a neck injury that often involves damage to the ligaments when the head is pulled backward and then snapped forward quickly. Prolotherapy is often well-suited for this type of injury and may help reduce pain associated with damaged tissues.
If you have been involved in a car accident in Buffalo and are dealing with neck discomfort, there is a good chance you may be suffering from a whiplash injury. Whiplash is one of the most common traumatic neck injuries seen after car accidents, and it can be a major source of chronic pain for accident victims. For many people, the pain and stiffness do not simply go away on their own.
Fortunately, there are treatment options available. The experienced Buffalo car accident doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab are well-versed in treating whiplash injuries and helping patients address the pain associated with them.
Prolotherapy works by targeting the ligaments and tendons that are often closely tied to whiplash-related pain. A solution is injected into the damaged tissue, causing mild irritation that stimulates the body’s natural healing response. This increased healing activity may help support tissue repair and pain relief.
Prolotherapy is a safe and natural treatment option for whiplash injuries that may help relieve chronic pain associated with severe cases of whiplash, as well as other muscle, tendon, ligament, and joint injuries. Dr. Mikhail Strut is an experienced Buffalo, NY car accident doctor and a trusted pain management specialist.
Cervical spine injuries
Cervical spine pain often responds very well to prolotherapy. At RES Physical Medicine & Rehab, our skilled Buffalo cervical spine injury doctors have helped patients achieve pain relief without immediately resorting to higher-risk surgical options.
When a person injures their neck, several things can happen. The ligaments extending up toward the head may be affected, which can contribute to severe headaches. Prolotherapy can be highly effective in treating this condition.
Neck injuries can also extend into the shoulder area and down the back. Rather than treating only the referred pain, we focus on the injured spine ligaments, which may help relieve symptoms in the connected areas as well.
If you or a loved one is suffering from cervical spine pain, relief may be only a call away. Contact our experienced Buffalo cervical spine injury doctors today to learn how we can help.
Lower back injuries
Prolotherapy can be very effective for individuals dealing with low back pain, particularly when that pain developed after a fall or a car accident.
Some lower back injuries can also involve nerve-related symptoms, including sharp pain that shoots down the leg. Prolotherapy may help relieve pain associated with this type of injury pattern.
If you are experiencing chronic low back pain, contact the experienced Buffalo doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab to learn how prolotherapy may help. Our office is conveniently located in Buffalo, New York.
Meniscus tear injuries
Meniscus tears are very common injuries. If you are dealing with knee ligament tears, including medial or lateral ligament injuries, prolotherapy may be an appropriate treatment option.
The experienced Buffalo knee doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, NY, have helped many patients address knee pain associated with meniscus injuries. This can be especially important for people who want to explore treatment options before turning to invasive surgery. As Buffalo knee doctors, we know exercise alone will not strengthen an injured ligament. Contact our team to learn more about whether prolotherapy may be right for your condition.
Tendon injuries
Prolotherapy is an excellent treatment option for many tendon injuries. At RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, we have helped many patients manage tendon-related pain with safe, effective treatment.
Tendons connect muscle to bone, and when a tendon is torn or damaged, a muscle strain often develops alongside it. While prolotherapy does not repair muscle directly, it may help address tendon damage that is contributing to the pain.
If you or a loved one is suffering from a tendon injury in Buffalo, we can help. Contact our WNY tendon injury doctors today to learn what treatment options may be available.
What is the best diagnostic test for a tendon and ligament injury?
One of the most important diagnostic tools for injuries after an automobile accident is the accident history itself. We listen carefully to the patient’s account of how the crash occurred, including where the patient was seated, whether a seat belt was worn, the speed at the time of the crash, the type of collision, and the extent of vehicle damage.
The physical exam is also extremely important. Based on the history, we develop a pattern of injuries that may have been sustained in the accident, and the physical exam helps confirm the diagnosis.
If you or a loved one is experiencing pain from a tendon injury, contact our dedicated WNY tendon injury doctors.
Can prolotherapy treat Achilles tendonitis?
Achilles tendonitis often responds very well to prolotherapy. The experienced WNY sports medicine doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab are well-versed in treating Achilles tendonitis with prolotherapy. This treatment may help reduce inflammation, support healing, and relieve pain associated with the tendon.
If you are suffering from Achilles tendonitis in Buffalo, NY, we can help. Contact our experienced WNY tendon injury doctors today to learn more.
Can prolotherapy treat rotator cuff injuries?
Rotator cuff injuries are among the most common injuries affecting the shoulder. We have treated many Buffalo patients with rotator cuff injuries without immediately resorting to invasive surgery.
The rotator cuff includes several structures, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, that work together to support the shoulder. The exact type of injury will help determine whether prolotherapy is likely to be effective. It is often most helpful when ligaments or tendons are involved.
Contact our experienced WNY tendon injury doctors today to learn more about treatment options for rotator cuff injuries.
Shoulder Subluxation
Shoulder subluxation, or instability, is a condition in which the shoulder does not stay positioned properly within the joint. This often points to weak or damaged ligaments.
At RES Physical Medicine & Rehab in Buffalo, Dr. Mikhail Strut and our experienced shoulder pain doctors help patients address pain and instability associated with shoulder subluxation. The prolotherapy method we use may be particularly helpful for this type of injury because it is designed to support ligament strengthening and improved joint stability.
We have helped many Buffalo patients address shoulder pain caused by shoulder subluxation or instability. Contact our Buffalo pain doctors to learn how we can help.
Plantar Fasciitis
We have helped many patients in Buffalo, NY, relieve pain associated with plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis refers to inflammation and pain in the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that supports the arch of the foot and runs from the heel to the toes.
Plantar fasciitis is common in middle-aged adults, but it can also affect younger people who spend long periods on their feet. When the plantar fascia is overworked, it can become weakened, inflamed, and irritated. The experienced Buffalo pain doctors at RES Physical Medicine & Rehab have helped many patients address this condition and find relief.
