Prolotherapy

What is a Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical technique that stimulates healing.

Prolotherapy is a safe, effective injection treatment, which provides increased strength in joints, ligaments and tendons by making new connective tissue. The injection technique is designed to stimulate healing in injured parts of your body that may be slow to heal or may not have healed completely.

Prolotherapy is a long-term solution rather than a temporary measure as it works to repair weak and painful areas.

How does Prolotherapy Work?

Prolotherapy works by causing a temporary, low-grade inflammation at the injection site, activating fibroblast to the area, which in turn synthesize precursors to mature collagen, therefore allowing reinforcement of connective tissue. It has been documented that exposure of fibroblast to growth factors causes new cell growth and collagen deposition. The inflammatory factor of Prolotherapy raises the level of growth factors to resume or initiate new connective tissue repair.
