Prolotherapy Injections

Prolotherapy Injections Queens

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical procedure used for ligament and tendon reconstruction. The most common uses are in the back for back pain but it can be used anywhere there is soft tissue and joints, so also the knees, hips, shoulders etc.

It is typically safe to use for those with Arthritis and other chronic pain.

You can expect consultation and x-ray before the treatment and anti-inflammatory medicine should be avoided since it will counteract the prolotherapy injections.

Prolotherapy is essentially a dextrose based irritant that is injected into the soft tissue, for example in the back.

The goal is to use this injection to stimulate the body’s own production and healing which will then be targeted in the location of the injection. Over time and this will strengthen the ligaments and joints. although most people report pain reduction after the first procedure.

Prolotherapy procedures can last up to a few months with multiple injections treating the same location.
