Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a treatment that aims to relieve chronic pain and improve joint stability by stimulating the body's natural healing process. It involves injecting a solution, often containing an irritant like glucose, into damaged or weakened tissues such as ligaments, tendons, or joints. This process encourages your body to increase collagen production, which helps strengthen and repair the affected areas. Prolotherapy is often used for conditions like back pain, arthritis, or sports injuries. While some studies support its effectiveness, results can vary, and it’s best to discuss potential benefits and risks with a healthcare professional.
