Frequently Asked Questions
-
Prolotherapy, also known as regenerative injection therapy, is a non-surgical treatment involving the injection of a natural solution into damaged or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints to stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote tissue repair.
-
Prolotherapy works by triggering a localized inflammatory response in the treated area, stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms. The injected solution is typically a dextrose-based solution that promotes tissue regeneration, strengthens ligaments and tendons, and reduces pain and inflammation.
-
Prolotherapy can be used to treat a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendonitis, ligament injuries, joint instability, and chronic back or neck pain.

During a prolotherapy session, our trained practitioners will identify the target area for injection and administer the solution using a thin needle. The procedure is typically performed in-office and may require multiple sessions scheduled several weeks apart for optimal results.

Discomfort during the prolotherapy procedure is usually minimal and temporary. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure at the injection site, which typically subsides quickly.

Common side effects of prolotherapy may include temporary swelling, bruising, or stiffness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but may include nerve damage or infection.

The timeline for experiencing results from prolotherapy can vary depending on the individual's condition, the severity of the injury, and other factors. Some patients may experience improvement after the first session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.
