Prolotherapy
Safe and Effective Treatments for Joint Pain and Repair
When ligaments and tendons are stretched, torn, or thinning the joint weakens and becomes painful. Prolotherapy repairs these areas through directed injections to the injured site. The result is growth and repair of connective tissue, and stabilization of the joint. Joints typically do not get priority naturally from the immune system as other areas of the body do, causing joint injuries to linger. Prolotherapy stimulates a directed, strong and effective immune response for faster recovery and pain relief. Traditional treatments including steroid injections and surgery are more risky and often less effective.

Pain Relief and Joint Injury Repair
Prolotherapy is a Regenerative Joint Therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It involves injecting an immune stimulating solution to damaged tissues, inducing low-grade inflammation at the affected tissue site. It is a non-invasive alternative to surgical treatments and is used successfully for a variety of joint and muscle conditions.
Prolotherapy injections contain a combination of dextrose (as an irritant), procaine (to decrease pain signals) and B12 (to support cell regeneration) that together creates a localized and targeted inflammatory response. This response recruits immune cells and growth factors to the affected area helping to stimulate and repair the joint or site of injury. Several injections are usually indicated and are typically spaced four weeks apart. Most patients respond best with two or three treatments.
Are Prolotherapy Right for You?
Prolotherapy is a phenomenal treatment for chronic musculo-skeletal pain that has resulted from an old injury or overuse. They are also an effective choice osteoarthritis, and minor ligament and tendon tears. Below is a list of some common conditions that prolotherapy addresses:
- Sciatica
- Osteoarthritis
- Compressed vertebral discs
- Partially torn ligaments or tendons of the knee or shoulder
- Tendonitis or tendinosis of the elbow or shoulder
- Plantar fasciitis
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Chronic neck pain
- Chronic headaches
- TMJ syndrome
- And many more conditions
Some conditions cannot be addressed with prolotherapy. Conditions that are not appropriate for prolotherapy include joint pain resulting from autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, or complete ligaments and tendon tears.
