Prolotherapy is a safe, cost effective injection technique used for treating musculoskeletal injuries and chronic pain in various parts of the body. It is noninvasive, has limited side effects and does not require sedation. Prolotherapy is a treatment that provides a long term solution and in many cases should be considered before prolonged narcotic therapy or surgery.
Unlike steroid injections which act to reduce inflammation, prolotherapy stimulates the repair and growth of tissue and therefore strengthens tendons, ligaments, articular cartilage and joints. Since chronic pain is often caused by injury and/or weakness of these structures, prolotherapy can significantly alleviate and often times cure chronic pain by addressing the root cause.
Prolotherapy has been used for over 70 years and is gaining widespread recognition as a simple, non-invasive, and comprehensive treatment for chronic pain.
Conditions commonly treated with Prolotherapy:
Chronic musculoskeletal pain unresolved by conventional treatment
Osteoarthritis (Knee, hip, ankle, fingers, etc.)
