Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a recognized orthopedic procedure that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to strengthen joints weakened by traumatic or over-use injuries. Prolotherapy (prolo = proliferative), is also known as regenerative injection therapy, sclerotherapy, ligament reconstruction therapy, and fibro-osseous injection therapy.

When ligaments or tendon attachments are stretched, torn, or fragmented, joints become loose and painful. Traditional approaches including surgery, ice, and anti-inflammatory drugs may offer temporary relief, but often fail to stabilize the joint and relieve this pain permanently. Prolotherapy, with its unique ability to directly address the cause of the instability, can repair the weakened sites and produce new fibrous tissues, resulting in permanent stabilization of the joint.
