Prolotherapy

About Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a safe and effective therapy that has been in use for more than 50 years. It is a non-surgical, minimally invasive injection technique that provides significant and lasting relief where more conventional treatments, such as medication, have failed.

How it Works

A dextrose-base solution is injected at the exact points of tissue damage. The solution naturally stimulates the body’s healing response to repair and strengthen damaged ligaments and tendons. As these structures become stronger, the joints and spine become more stable.

Recovery and Relief

While patients generally begin to feel relief in the first few weeks complete healing generally takes three to six weeks. Patients consistently report improved stability, decreased pain and better tolerance physical activities. Prolotherapy is particularly successful in achieving long term relief from conditions such as back pain, sports injuries, joint pain and arthritis.
