Prolotherapy is one of the many treatments that Clearway Pain Solutions offers and can be used to treat joint pain. Below, Sophia Leonard-Burns, PA-C answers your questions about prolotherapy.
Prolotherapy, also known as proliferative therapy, is an injection therapy that stimulates the bodies healing processes. It is directed at the tendons and ligaments of the affected painful joint. Prolotherapy is addresses the issues with stretched or torn connective tissue (ligaments and tendons). This is done by injecting a natural substance as well as local anesthetic into the affected area, which virtually tricks the body into repairing the area. The mild inflammatory reaction created by the injection encourages growth of new normal ligament and tendon fibers, resulting in the tightening of the weakened area. In order to get the most benefit from prolotherapy, injections are typically done in multiple sessions over a 3-6 month period.
