Anyone who follows professional sports has probably heard about the benefits of regenerative medicine treatments like prolotherapy for orthopedic injuries. From famous athletes recovering from potentially career-ending knee and shoulder injuries to everyday individuals suffering from chronic foot, ankle, or joint pain—prolotherapy uses the body’s own healing mechanisms to relieve pain, reduce stiffness, and improve mobility.
At Venturis Clinic, with locations in Oklahoma City and Piedmont, OK, Dr. Alvin Philipose offers prolotherapy as a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for treating joint pain and soft tissue injuries that can significantly affect your quality of life.
What Is Prolotherapy?
Also known as regenerative injection therapy or proliferation therapy, prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose (sugar water) solution into the affected area. This stimulates the body’s natural healing response by triggering controlled inflammation, which encourages tissue regeneration and repair.
Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy
Dr. Philipose successfully uses prolotherapy to treat a wide range of injuries and conditions, including but not limited to:
-
Osteoarthritis
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Tendonitis
-
Bursitis
-
Ligament and tendon tears
-
Chronic joint instability
Prolotherapy is also showing great promise for treating cartilage degeneration, commonly seen in patients with arthritis—particularly knee, shoulder, and ankle arthritis.
Benefits of Prolotherapy
Some of the key benefits of prolotherapy include:
-
Minimally invasive and non-surgical
-
Few side effects
-
May be effective when conservative treatments like chiropractic care, physical therapy, or pain management fall short
-
Helps regenerate soft tissue instead of just masking pain
A Trusted History in Regenerative Medicine
Modern prolotherapy was first introduced in the 1950s by Dr. George S. Hackett and Dr. Gustav Anders Hemwall. Since then, the treatment has evolved into a trusted regenerative approach for orthopedic and chronic pain conditions.
