What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a procedure where a natural irritant is injected into the soft tissue of an injured joint. This tricks the body into thinking the area injected is a site of injury, causing the body to begin the recovery process.
In other words, prolotherapy stimulates the body’s recovery process to strengthen and repair injured joints and connective tissue. It uniquely works by replacing new tissue by tricking the body to repair the weakened, stretched out ligaments and tendons.
What areas can be treated?
Areas that can be treated include, but are not limited to: low back or mid back pain, disc degenerative disease, SI joint dysfunction, neck pain, IT band syndrome, piriformis syndrome, TMJ disorder, hypermobility, and joint pain (knee, wrist, hand, shoulder, elbow, foot, and ankle).
