What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative medicine treatment that uses various concentrations of Dextrose solution to promote the healing of damaged cartilage, nerves, tendons, and ligaments.

 

How does Prolotherapy work?

This form of regenerative medicine has been used clinically for many years. Dextrose influences our immune cells to repair tissue damage. It is safe and effective.

 

What are the benefits of Prolotherapy?

Dextrose is commonly used to treat mild orthopedic and musculoskeletal disorders. It can be combined with platelet-rich plasma for moderate tissue damage. It can be used with bone marrow aspirate and microfragmented adipose tissue.

Prolotherapy is relatively affordable compared to other forms of regenerative medicine treatments.

 

What can I expect from treatment?

Prolotherapy has better results when it is used for problems that are mild in nature. It will not work well for severe degenerative orthopedic conditions.

It takes 1-4 injections before the symptoms start to improve. It takes about 4-6 weeks to experience some relief of symptoms. Injections can be administered every 2-4 weeks if needed.

 

What are the pros and cons of Prolotherapy?

  • Pros: Very affordable. Can be used to treat a variety of mild to moderate tendon, joint, and cartilage injuries. It is safe. Few side effects occur, compared to cortisone.
  • Cons: It takes multiple treatments to realize benefits. This treatment is not covered by insurance. It may take 2 months or longer before the benefits are realized.
