Anyone who follows professional sports has probably heard of the benefits of regenerative medicine treatments like prolotherapy for orthopedic injuries. From famous baseball players with potentially career-ending knee and shoulder injuries to everyday individuals suffering from chronic foot, ankle, or joint pain, prolotherapy offers a powerful, natural approach to healing.
Prolotherapy works by using the body’s own healing mechanisms to reduce pain, stiffness, and mobility issues. It is a minimally invasive, non-surgical treatment that podiatrists and other specialists use to treat joint pain and musculoskeletal injuries that can significantly impact quality of life.
Also known as regenerative injection therapy or proliferation therapy, prolotherapy involves injecting a solution—commonly dextrose (sugar water)—into the affected area to stimulate an accelerated healing response.
