Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy designed to support the body’s natural healing response in areas of chronic pain or instability. Many musculoskeletal concerns — including joint pain, ligament laxity, tendon injuries, and repetitive strain issues — stem from weakened connective tissue that has not fully healed. Prolotherapy works by introducing a natural irritant solution (most commonly dextrose) into targeted ligaments, tendons, or joint spaces to gently stimulate the body’s repair mechanisms. This encourages new collagen formation, strengthens connective tissue, and helps restore stability and function over time.

​

In our office, prolotherapy is offered for a variety of concerns including knee pain, shoulder instability, low back pain, hip pain, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and other chronic or recurrent injuries. Rather than masking pain with medications or relying solely on short-term interventions, prolotherapy aims to address the underlying structural weakness contributing to discomfort. As part of a comprehensive, whole-person approach, treatments are tailored to your individual needs and may be combined with rehabilitative strategies, nutrition support, and lifestyle guidance to optimize healing and long-term results.
