Prolotherapy is a simple, injection-based treatment that targets areas that have been damaged due to an injury or overuse. Also referred to as proliferation (proliferative) therapy or non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection, the treatment involves injecting an irritant into the body.
The injection triggers an immune response in the body that can help stimulate your body’s healing process. The body works to repair any damaged or injured areas including ligaments, tendons, and tissue.
There are numerous benefits to prolotherapy. It can be used to alleviate discomfort throughout the body including in the back, knee, elbow, or foot. Many patients receive injections around once a month for approximately four to six months. However, the treatment can be tailored to meet the individual needs of the patient.
Benefits of prolotherapy may include:
By stimulating the body’s healing process, prolotherapy offers a less invasive way to repair damaged tissue, torn ligaments, or stretched tendons.
As described by the American Osteopathic Association of Prolotherapy Regenerative Medicine the solution injected at the site may include both an irritant and an anesthetic. One of the most commonly used irritants is dextrose or sugar. Newer formulas may include things like Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP).
Prolotherapy can help treat several conditions and is designed to reduce pain. If you suffer from any chronic pain, prolotherapy may be a viable option to help you alleviate the discomfort without surgery.
Common conditions treated with prolotherapy include:
These are only a few of the plethora of conditions that prolotherapy may help. Prolotherapy may be used on its own or as part of a comprehensive recovery program.
