What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process to treat musculoskeletal pain and injury. This natural, non-surgical therapy involves the injection of an irritant solution into damaged tissue which triggers the body’s inflammatory response and encourages the growth of collagen in the affected areas. This process helps promote strengthening of ligaments and tendons, which leads to joint stability, pain relief, and improved function.
Benefits of Prolotherapy Injections
- Natural and non-surgical: By stimulating the body’s innate healing mechanisms, prolotherapy addresses the underlying cause of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction rather than merely masking the symptoms.
- Pain reduction: As the treated area heals and the connective tissues strengthen, patients often experience significant, lasting relief from pain.
- Improved function: Renewing strong, healthy tissue leads to joint stability, mobility, and overall functionality.
