What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, short for proliferative therapy, is a minimally invasive regenerative treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing response. During the procedure, a specially formulated solution—typically containing dextrose—is precisely injected into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. This solution triggers a localized natural inflammatory response that increases blood flow and delivers healing nutrients to the injured area, encouraging the growth of new, stronger connective tissue.
What Conditions Does Prolotherapy Treat?
Prolotherapy may be an effective option for various musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Chronic joint pain and osteoarthritis
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Chronic tendonitis
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Sciatica and nerve-related pain
- Degenerative disc disease
- Sports injuries and whiplash
- Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain
How Does the Prolotherapy Procedure Work?
Your prolotherapy treatment begins with a thorough evaluation by one of our pain management physicians who will recommend Prolotherapy if it is indicated. During the procedure, the healing solution is carefully injected into the precise location of your injury or tissue damage. Most patients require a series of treatments—typically four to six sessions spaced two to six weeks apart—depending on the severity of the condition and individual healing response. Many patients begin experiencing improvement after just a few sessions.
