Prolotherapy: An Innovative Option to Relieve Your Chronic Pain
Prolotherapy is a treatment method that uses injections to stimulate healing
of damaged soft tissue, thereby reducing chronic musculoskeletal pain. This
treatment relies on the use of irritant solutions, such as dextrose, to trigger a
controlled inflammatory response and promote natural tissue repair.
When is prolotherapy effective?
- Groin pain in athletes: particularly effective for contact sports, with a clear improvement in pain and function.
- Rotator cuff injuries: significant improvement in shoulder pain and mobility, particularly in chronic cases.
- Chronic low-back pain: results vary, but a combination with other treatments can increase its effectiveness.
- Chronic musculoskeletal pain: studies show that it is as effective as, or even superior to, injections of platelet-rich plasma or steroids in certain cases.
The benefits of prolotherapy
- Non-surgical: a less invasive alternative to major procedures.
- Natural: stimulates your body’s own healing mechanisms.
- Versatile: useful for different areas of the body and types of pain
