What is Prolotherapy

Understanding Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is an easy and simple treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. It involves the injection of a natural irritant solution (usually dextrose/sugar water) into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints to stimulate the body's own healing response.

The treatment promotes the growth of new, stronger tissue, thereby reducing pain and improving function. Prolotherapy is particularly effective for chronic ligament and tendon injuries that have not responded to conventional treatments like rest, physiotherapy, or anti-inflammatory medications.
