Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is an advanced treatment modality that aims to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes to repair and strengthen injured and painful joints and connective tissues. When tendons or ligaments are stretched or torn, the associated joint destabilizes causing pain. Prolotherapy is a targeted injection containing natural substances such as dextrose, saline, and sarapin and anaesthetic agents to create a mild inflammatory response that encourages the growth of new ligament and tendon fibres. This results in a tightening and restabilization of the joint structure. Prolotherapy is safe and extremely effective in relieving the pain and weakness associated with tendon and ligaments injuries without the need for surgery.
