Prolotherapy Injection

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy also known as proliferation therapy is an injection-based treatment used in acute/chronic musculoskeletal condition and connective tissue injuries such as Arthritis, Achilles Tendinitis and Plantar fasciitis.

Prolotherapy involves the injection of glucose and local anaesthetic into soft tissue to stimulate a healing response by increased release of pre-collagen growth factor (PGF).

  • This solution acts not as a nutrient, but 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

Conditions that may benefit from prolotherapy include:

  • Knee/ankle arthritis
  • Bunion Pain
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Plantar fasciitis

The appointment duration will be approx. 30 minutes involving preparations, treatment and recovery. An individual will require 2-3 sessions spaced out 2-6 weeks apart.

What should I expect?

Initially, mild but temporary swelling and stiffness may occur. It is normal to feel pain for the first few days. Improvements are usually noticed after the first session. Research indicates a high success rate of prolotherapy to patients. After prolotherapy, you will be able to return to physical activities such as playing sport and work pain-free.
