What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy involves injecting certain growth promoting solutions into injured or diseased tendons, ligaments or joints. These solutions either contain growth factors themselves or produce inflammation which causes the release of growth factors which help.

The most commonly used solutions are 10 to 25% dextrose (sugar).

Prolotherapy involves a series of injections, reportedly ranging from 3 to 10, depending on the condition and the individual being treated. The injection series may cover 3 to 6 months with injections at 2 to 4 week intervals.
