Prolotherapy Injections

What Are Prolotherapy Injections?

Prolotherapy involves targeted injections of a natural solution, often a dextrose-based formula, into injured or weakened ligaments and tendons. This triggers a mild inflammatory response, encouraging the body to produce new connective tissue and strengthen the affected area.

How Prolotherapy Injections Work

During treatment, a trained provider carefully injects the solution into specific ligaments, tendons, or joint spaces. The mild irritation activates the body’s healing mechanisms, stimulating collagen growth and tissue repair. Over a series of sessions, patients often notice reduced pain, increased stability, and improved joint function.

Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy Injections

Prolotherapy is effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Chronic joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle)
  • Ligament and tendon injuries
  • Osteoarthritis-related discomfort
  • Back and neck pain
  • Sports injuries and overuse conditions
