Prolotherapy for Joint Pain & Dysfunction

Regenerative Treatment for Joint Pain, Ligament Injury, and Chronic Pain

Prolotherapy (short for proliferation therapy) is a regenerative injection treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

It works by injecting a natural solution (commonly dextrose-based) into weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints, helping to:

  • Strengthen connective tissue 
  • Reduce pain 
  • Improve stability and function 

Unlike medications that only mask symptoms, prolotherapy targets the root cause of pain.

What Conditions Can Prolotherapy Treat?

Prolotherapy is commonly used for:

  • Chronic low back pain 
  • Neck pain 
  • Shoulder pain (rotator cuff injuries) 
  • Knee pain (including ligament instability) 
  • Hip pain 
  • Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow 
  • Arthritis-related joint pain 
  • Ligament and tendon injuries 

If you’ve been told “nothing is torn but it still hurts,” prolotherapy may be an ideal option.

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

The injection creates a controlled, localized inflammatory response, which:

  1. Increases blood flow 
  2. Stimulates tissue repair 
  3. Promotes collagen production 
  4. Strengthens weakened structures 

Over time, this leads to:

  • Improved joint stability 
  • Reduced pain 
  • Better mobility

What to Expect During Treatment

  •  Quick in-office procedure (typically 15–30 minutes) 
  • Minimal downtime 
  • Series of treatments (usually 3–6 sessions depending on condition) 
  • Mild soreness after injections is normal and expected 

Most patients begin noticing improvement after a few sessions, with continued healing over time.

Benefits of Prolotherapy

  • Non-surgical treatment 
  • Drug-free pain relief 
  • Targets underlying cause (not just symptoms) 
  • Improves function and mobility 
  • Can reduce need for medications or surgery

Have Other Treatments Failed?

 If medications, therapy, or injections haven’t worked, the issue may not be inflammation, it may be instability.

Prolotherapy addresses this by strengthening the structures that support your joints.
