Prolotherapy

Expert in Tampa, FL

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing response to strengthen weakened ligaments and tendons and reduce chronic joint pain.

You may be a candidate if you experience:

  • Chronic joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle)
  • Ligament or tendon laxity causing instability or pain
  • Pain after repetitive strain or prior injury
  • Non-surgical, regenerative options

What does the treatment process look like?

  • Evaluation to determine candidacy and target areas
  • Series of injections spaced over weeks to months
  • Minimal downtime, most patients resume normal activities quickly
  • Combined approach with physical therapy and activity modification for best results

How does this procedure work?

Prolotherapy uses a series of small injections of a concentrated dextrose solution near damaged ligaments and tendons. The controlled irritation triggers a local healing response, encouraging tissue repair and improved stability over time.
