Prolotherapy is a non-surgical medical treatment designed to aid the body’s natural healing processes. It is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking relief from chronic pain, especially in joints, ligaments, and tendons. During a prolotherapy appointment, our skilled medical providers administer a solution directly into the affected area. This solution contains dextrose and lidocaine. The injected solution serves as a mild irritant, intentionally causing a controlled inflammatory response in the targeted area. This controlled inflammation is a crucial part of the healing process. As the body reacts to this controlled inflammation, it initiates its natural healing mechanisms. This leads to the strengthening and repair of damaged ligaments, tendons, and joint structures.
