Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body's natural healing response by injecting a solution—typically dextrose—into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. This promotes tissue repair, strengthens weakened structures, and reduces chronic pain.
During the procedure, our specialists use precise imaging guidance to target areas of instability or injury, ensuring optimal results. Unlike temporary pain relief methods, prolotherapy encourages long-term healing, making it an effective option for patients suffering from joint pain, ligament laxity, and degenerative conditions.
By enhancing collagen production and stabilizing joints, prolotherapy helps restore function, prevent further injury, and improve overall mobility.
Prolotherapy enhances the body’s natural healing process, strengthening ligaments and tissues to help reduce pain and promote long-term recovery.
Unlike traditional surgery, prolotherapy is minimally invasive, avoiding incisions and providing a faster recovery. It is an ideal option for patients looking to avoid surgery.
By stimulating tissue repair and regeneration, prolotherapy can offer lasting pain relief and improved function, reducing the need for additional treatments in the future.
Prolotherapy offers a natural, non-pharmaceutical solution for pain management, reducing dependence on pain medications such as opioids.
Chronic Joint PainProlotherapy can be an effective treatment for joint pain, especially in the knees, shoulders, hips, and elbows, where ligament or cartilage damage causes discomfort.
ArthritisFor patients suffering from osteoarthritis or degenerative joint diseases, prolotherapy can help strengthen ligaments and improve joint stability, providing long-lasting pain relief.
Sports InjuriesProlotherapy is commonly used to treat sports-related injuries, especially those involving ligament damage, tendonitis, or recurring sprains and strains.
Ligament InstabilityProlotherapy strengthens weak or loose ligaments, reducing instability and preventing further damage to the joints.
Back PainProlotherapy is beneficial for patients with chronic back pain due to ligament laxity or injury, offering an alternative to surgery or long-term medication use.
Neck PainProlotherapy can relieve chronic neck pain caused by ligament strain, instability, or soft tissue injury. It helps stabilize the cervical spine and improve mobility.
