What is Prolotherapy?

Home Glossary What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment in which a solution, usually dextrose, is injected where loose or damaged ligaments and tendons attach to bone to stimulate the body's own repair process and strengthen the tissue.

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

The injected solution triggers a controlled, mild healing response at the treatment site. This response attracts reparative cells and stimulates the production of new connective tissue. The goal is to strengthen lax ligaments, help the joint work in a more balanced way and reduce pain.

When Is It Used?

  • Chronic low back pain and sacroiliac joint pain
  • Knee osteoarthritis and ligament problems around the knee
  • Ligament laxity after recurrent ankle sprains
  • Tennis elbow and chronic tendon pain

Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions are needed?

Usually several sessions a few weeks apart are planned; the number depends on the condition and the patient's response. Mild pain and swelling for a few days afterwards is an expected reaction. Results last longer when it is combined with strengthening exercises and physiotherapy.
