Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy (short for “proliferation therapy”) is a regenerative injection treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing process. It involves injecting a natural irritant solution—typically dextrose (a type of sugar) mixed with lidocaine—into ligaments, tendons, or joints where there is chronic pain, weakness, or instability. This controlled irritation triggers a mild inflammatory response that promotes the repair and strengthening of damaged tissue.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
Prolotherapy may be ideal if you’re looking for a natural, minimally invasive treatment for joint or soft tissue pain that has not responded to physical therapy, medications, or conventional treatments. It is safe and effective for both athletes and everyday individuals seeking pain relief and function restoration.
Benefits of Prolotherapy
- Drug-free and surgery-free option
- Strengthens ligaments and joint stability
- Reduces chronic pain and inflammation
- Promotes tissue repair and function
- Complements other regenerative therapies (PRP, stem cell)
What to Expect During Treatment
- Treatment typically involves a series of injections spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
- Most patients require 3–6 sessions depending on the severity and location of pain.
- Mild soreness after the injection is normal and usually subsides in 24–72 hours.
- You can resume light activity, but strenuous activity should be avoided for a few days post-treatment.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Sometimes, the body holds onto dysfunction in areas of past injury, surgery, infection, or emotional trauma. These areas—called interference fields—can send constant distress signals to the nervous system, disrupting your body’s natural healing.
Neural Therapy works like a “reset button” for the nervous system, helping restore proper communication between the brain and body so healing can begin.
Conditions Commonly Treated with Prolotherapy
- Chronic lower back pain
- Joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip, ankle)
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Degenerative joint conditions (early arthritis)
- Neck pain or whiplash injuries
- Sports injuries or overuse syndromes
