Prolotherapy Stimulates the Body's Ability to Heal Itself

Prolotherapy is available through Excela Health Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.  Prolotherapy is an innovative technique that relieves pain by directly impacting the underlying condition causing that pain.

Prolotherapy promotes long-term, often permanent pain relief by stimulating the body’s ability to repair itself. A solution of concentrated dextrose and local anesthetic is injected into the affected ligaments, tendons or joint capsules. The solution acts by stimulating the body’s natural ability to repair these tissues, encouraging growth of new ligament or tendon fibers.

Multiple treatments encourage additional tissue growth to restore and strengthen the affected area. This treatment gives patients an option to heal pain without the risks of surgery, general anesthesia and a hospital stay. The average appointment time takes 30 to 60 minutes including preparation, treatment and recovery time.
