Prolotherapy is a procedure where a natural irritant is injected into the soft tissue of an injured joint. The irritant kick-starts the body’s healing response.
This non-surgical treatment works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms to lay down new tissue in the weakened area. This is done by a directed injection to the pain point and the mild inflammatory response which is created by the injection encourages growth of new, normal ligament or tendon fibers, resulting in a tightening of the weakened structure.
