Prolotherapy is a treatment that helps strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. A natural solution is injected into the injured area, encouraging the body to repair and reinforce the tissue.

How Prolotherapy Works

Prolotherapy uses small injections to stimulate the body’s natural healing process in areas where ligaments or tendons have been weakened by injury or strain. The solution encourages repair and strengthening of connective tissue, helping improve joint stability and reduce pain over time.

Treatments are typically spaced every 3–6 weeks, and many patients need fewer sessions as their condition improves. In some cases, prolotherapy may be an option for patients looking to avoid surgery.

Who May Benefit From Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy may be helpful if you experience:

• Ongoing joint looseness or instability
• Tender or painful ligament or tendon attachment points
• Recurrent swelling around a joint
• Popping, clicking, grinding, or catching sensations

Prolotherapy can be used for a wide range of tendon and ligament injuries affecting joints throughout the body.
