Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy, also known as regenerative injection therapy, is a non-surgical treatment designed to alleviate pain and promote healing in damaged joints, ligaments, and tendons. This innovative therapy stimulates the body’s natural healing processes by injecting a concentrated solution into the affected areas, encouraging tissue repair and regeneration.

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

Prolotherapy works by injecting a solution—often containing a dextrose (sugar) mixture—directly into the injured tissue. This process triggers an inflammatory response, which stimulates the body to increase blood flow and recruit healing cells to the area. The key benefits of prolotherapy include:

• Strengthening Tissue: Promotes the repair of damaged ligaments and tendons, restoring stability and function.
• Reducing Pain: Alleviates chronic pain by addressing the underlying causes rather than just masking symptoms.
• Improving Mobility: Enhances joint and tissue function, allowing for improved range of motion and activity levels.

Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy can be effective for a variety of pain-related conditions, including:

• Osteoarthritis
• Tendonitis (e.g., rotator cuff, Achilles)
• Ligament injuries (e.g., ACL tears)
• Chronic back pain
• Joint instability
• Sports injuries

The Prolotherapy Procedure

1. Consultation: Your treatment begins with a thorough evaluation by our pain management specialist. We will discuss your medical history, symptoms, and treatment options to determine if prolotherapy is appropriate for you.
2. Injection: During the procedure, a small amount of the prolotherapy solution is injected into the target area using precise imaging guidance. This ensures accurate placement for optimal results.
3. Post-Procedure Care: After the injections, you will receive specific instructions for care and recovery. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure, although some may experience mild soreness in the treated area.
4. Follow-Up: A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to assess your progress and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
