Prolotherapy
Pain Management
Prolotherapy uses the body’s natural healing ability to relieve chronic pain, strengthen injured tissues, and restore function. Also known as sclertotherapy and ligament reconstructive therapy, prolotherapy is a permanent treatment for chronic pain conditions. Prolotherapy has been used for over 50 years and has an excellent success record; it is effective in reducing or eliminating pain in 90 percent of patients treated.
The treatment involves injecting a special solution into the painful area, usually a ligament, which then causes a natural healing process to occur. Collagen and other connective tissues are strengthened and pain is reduced or eliminated.
It may take several injections spaced one to three weeks apart to achieve the maximum result. |
