What is it?

Prolotherapy is a combination of saline with a dextrose (sugar) solution which is injected into the area pathology to promote the body’s natural healing response.

How does it work?

The prolotherapy injection causes irritation to the diseased tissues which then triggers the body to send inflammatory cells to the area to help promote healing.

What does it treat?

Prolotherapy is used to treat arthritis in the knees and hips, to improve tendinopathies and to treat nerve injury. Oftentimes patients will require multiple injections to provide significant benefit.
