Prolotherapy Injection

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy, also known as Proliferation Therapy, is a regenerative medicine treatment aimed at healing chronic musculoskeletal conditions, especially those affecting ligaments and tendons.

During the procedure, a medical irritant (concentrated dextrose solution) is injected into the affected area. This triggers the body to react as if a new injury has occurred, stimulating the natural healing process. Prolotherapy has the potential to repair damaged tissues and promote long-term recovery.

Treatment Plans

Prolotherapy typically involves a series of three injections, spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Each injection contains a dextrose solution designed to encourage tissue healing.

This treatment requires a strong commitment from the patient, as it’s important to attend all scheduled appointments in the series. All three injections should be booked in advance, as rescheduling may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and slow the healing process.

Consistency is key to achieving optimal results.
