What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to repair weakened or damaged ligaments and tendons. By injecting a dextrose-based solution into the affected area, prolotherapy promotes tissue regeneration, reduces pain, and restores joint stability. It is a non-surgical treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis, sports injuries, and joint instability.

Prolotherapy Treatment Process

Duration: 30 minutes
Recovery: Minimal. May cause temporary pain and stiffness for 1-2 days
Treatment: Minimally invasive
Cost: $245 - $345
Prolotherapy involves precise injections of a mild irritant solution, typically dextrose, into the affected area. This triggers a controlled inflammatory response, which stimulates the body’s natural healing mechanisms. Over time, the treatment strengthens weakened ligaments and tendons, stabilizing the joint and reducing pain. A series of treatments may be required for optimal results, with improvements typically noticed after a few sessions.
