Prolotherapy, also known as proliferation therapy, is a regenerative treatment that involves injecting a solution—typically a dextrose-based irritant—into damaged or painful areas of the body. This procedure aims to stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting the repair of ligaments, tendons, and joint structures.
Prolotherapy can be effective for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
When the prolotherapy solution is injected into the targeted area, it triggers a localized inflammatory response. This process encourages the body to send growth factors and immune cells to the site, promoting tissue regeneration and strengthening weakened structures. Over time, this helps alleviate pain and restore function.
Each session typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, but the exact number may vary based on individual conditions.
Many patients notice improvements within a few weeks after the initial treatment, with continued progress over several months as healing occurs.
