PROLOTHERAPY Prolotherapy is a simple technique that stimulates the body to repair a damaged area. Employed for joint pain, prolotherapy utilizes injections into torn and stretched tendons and ligaments. These damaged structures are a common cause of chronic pain conditions. A dextrose solution (sugar water) is injected locally, causing a controlled inflammatory response. This leads to the production of new collagen fibers, which is the substance that tendons and ligaments are made of. As the new collagen matures, it shrinks, pulling the tendons and ligaments tight, essentially making them stronger. The end result, normal function of the body, without pain! |
