Prolotherapy: Natural Pain Relief & Tissue Repair

Prolotherapy, also known as proliferative therapy, is a regenerative injection treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. By injecting a natural irritant solution, typically dextrose-based, into weakened or injured ligaments and tendons, prolotherapy promotes tissue repair and strengthens joint stability.

Prolotherapy is an effective, non-surgical treatment for chronic pain, joint instability, and musculoskeletal injuries. Benefits include:

• Pain Relief – Reduces chronic joint and ligament pain naturally.
• Tissue Strengthening – Stimulates collagen production and strengthens weakened ligaments and tendons.
• Improved Joint Stability – Supports overall joint function and reduces excessive movement that contributes to pain.
• Minimally Invasive & Safe – Uses natural substances to activate healing without surgery or long-term medications.
• Enhances Mobility & Function – Helps restore range of motion and flexibility.

Prolotherapy is widely used for a variety of musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions, including:

• Knee Osteoarthritis
• Shoulder Instability & Rotator Cuff Injuries
• Hip Pain & Labral Tears
• Elbow Pain (Tennis & Golfer’s Elbow)
• Ankle Sprains & Chronic Instability

• Lower Back Pain & Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
• Neck Pain & Whiplash Injuries
• Degenerative Disc Disease
• Chronic Tendonitis & Ligament Laxity

During a prolotherapy session, a dextrose-based solution is injected into the affected ligaments or tendons. This controlled irritation triggers the body’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to:

• Increased Blood Flow – Supports tissue regeneration and repair.
• Collagen Production – Strengthens and stabilizes connective tissues.
• Reduction of Chronic Pain – Long-term relief through structural support and healing.

• Duration: Each session lasts approximately 30-45 minutes.
• Number of Sessions: Most patients require 3-6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
• Downtime: Minimal; patients can resume normal activities with mild activity modifications.

Yes! Prolotherapy is a well-researched, minimally invasive treatment with a strong safety profile. Some patients may experience mild swelling or soreness post-injection, which typically resolves within a few days.

Discomfort varies by individual, but the procedure is generally well tolerated. A local anesthetic is often used to minimize pain during injections.

Anyone with chronic joint pain, ligament laxity, or sports injuries looking for a non-surgical, regenerative approach can benefit from prolotherapy.
