Prolotherapy Injections

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

Prolotherapy involves injecting a small amount of a stimulating solution—usually a dextrose (sugar) solution—into the affected area. This gentle solution activates the body’s natural healing response by triggering controlled inflammation that helps:

• Increase blood flow

• Recruit healing cells to the area

• Stimulate the growth of new collagen and connective tissue

As a result, the targeted tissues become stronger and more stable over time, helping to reduce pain and improve function.

​

Conditions Commonly Treated with Prolotherapy

• Joint instability (knees, shoulders, hips, etc.)

• Chronic low back pain

• Tendonitis or tendinosis

• Ligament injuries

• Degenerative joint conditions (like osteoarthritis)

• Whiplash and neck pain

• Plantar fasciitis

​

What to Expect

• Minimally invasive: Performed in-office with a small needle

• Quick sessions: Usually takes 15–30 minutes

• Little downtime: Most people resume normal activities shortly after

• Series of treatments: Often spaced 3–6 weeks apart for best results

• Mild post-treatment soreness: Temporary inflammation is a normal and important part of the healing process
