prolotherapy

Prolotherapy, also known as proliferation therapy, is a regenerative injection treatment used to stimulate healing in injured or damaged tissues, particularly in joints, ligaments, and tendons.

The treatment involves injecting a natural irritant solution, such as dextrose (sugar water), into the affected area. This irritant triggers localized inflammation, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural healing response. The inflammation initiates a cascade of healing processes, including the recruitment of immune cells and growth factors to the site, which can promote tissue repair and strengthen ligaments and tendons. Over time, this process can help reduce pain, improve function, and promote healing in the targeted area.
