Prolotherapy

Proliferant Therapy for the Regeneration of Connective Tissue and Joint Repair

Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution into damaged tissues, such as ligaments and tendons, causing them to inflame and then heal. During the healing process, more strength is added to the bony connections.

  • Ligaments hold joints firmly in place, ensuring correct alignment during movement.
  • Tendons attach muscles to bones, facilitating movement.
  • Tearing of ligaments and tendons from bones leads to sloppy joint movement and pain.

Once repaired non-surgically with prolotherapy, muscles can then strengthen around the joint. When the joint is strong, it remains so unless another accidental injury occurs. Prolotherapy also increases circulation and nutrients, aiding tissue repair.

This collagen-strengthening technique is effective for both old and new joint injuries.
