Prolotherapy: A Natural Way to Heal Chronic Pain and Restore Joint Stability

Have you been struggling with chronic joint pain, ligament injuries, or muscle instability? Look no further. A natural, non-surgical solution called prolotherapy might be exactly what your body needs.

What Is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy, short for proliferative therapy, is a regenerative injection treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. It works by injecting a small amount of a natural irritant, commonly a dextrose (a type of sugar), lidocaine and saline mixture, into the affected area.

This gentle “kickstart” injection encourages your body to repair and strengthen damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints over time.

How It Works

When the prolotherapy solution is injected, it triggers a mild inflammatory response in the targeted tissue. While inflammation often sounds like a bad thing, in this case it’s controlled and therapeutic, signalling the body to begin the healing cascade.

This process leads to:

• Increased collagen production

• Stronger and more stable connective tissue

• Reduced pain and inflammation over time

What Conditions Can Prolotherapy Help With?

Prolotherapy can be beneficial for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including:

• Chronic joint pain (knees, hips, shoulders, ankles)

• Lower back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

• Tendon and ligament injuries

• Osteoarthritis and early degenerative joint conditions

• Whiplash or sports-related soft tissue injuries

  
  

Why Choose Prolotherapy?

Unlike pain medications or steroid injections that simply mask symptoms, prolotherapy targets the root cause: weak or damaged connective tissue.

What to Expect

A typical prolotherapy session is quick and performed in-office. You may experience mild soreness for a few days after treatment as your body begins its healing process. For best results, several treatments are often spaced a few weeks apart, depending on your individual needs and goals.
