What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy (proliferative therapy) is a regenerative injection therapy that involves injecting a natural irritant solution — typically a dextrose (sugar water) solution — into damaged or weakened tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules. This controlled irritation triggers a localized inflammatory response that stimulates your body's natural healing cascade, promoting the growth of new collagen fibers and strengthening the treated tissue. Prolotherapy has been used for decades to treat chronic back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, hip pain, sports injuries, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. It's a conservative, non-surgical approach that addresses the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms with medication.

What to Expect
Pain Assessment
Your provider will evaluate your condition, review any imaging, and determine whether prolotherapy is appropriate for your specific issue. We'll discuss your pain history, treatment goals, and create a customized treatment plan.
Injection Treatment
Using precise technique and guidance, the dextrose solution is injected into the affected tendons, ligaments, or joint capsule. Multiple injection points may be treated in a single session. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes depending on the area being treated.
Healing Response
You may experience mild soreness and stiffness in the treated area for 2-5 days — this is actually a sign that the healing response has been activated. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications during this period as they can interfere with the healing process. Most patients notice gradual improvement after 2-3 sessions.
