What is prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical, injection-based treatment that harnesses your body’s innate healing power. Using a simple dextrose solution, prolotherapy stimulates the natural repair processes in your damaged tendons, ligaments, and joints. Over time, this gentle stimulation can strengthen and stabilize these tissues, reducing pain and improving joint function.
How does Prolotherapy work?
The injected solution irritates the targeted area, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This promotes the growth of new, healthy tissue and strengthens the surrounding structures, such as ligaments and tendons.

What is the procedure for Prolotherapy like?
Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Our pain management physicians will inject the pain relieving solution directly into the affected area using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes about 30-45 minutes.
How long does it take to see the results from prolotherapy?
Some patients see improvement in a few weeks, while others may need several months of treatment to see big benefits. The healing process continues over time as the body repairs and strengthens the treated area.
Who Can Benefit from Prolotherapy?
Conditions Prolotherapy Can Treat
If you’re struggling with:
- Joint instability: Ligament laxity or recurrent subluxations can significantly impact your mobility. Prolotherapy can help tighten and strengthen these ligaments, restoring stability and function.
- Labral tears: These tears in the cartilage that cushions your joints can cause pain and limit movement. Prolotherapy can promote tissue repair, easing discomfort and improving range of motion.
- Ligament sprains: Whether from sports injuries or everyday wear and tear, prolotherapy can help accelerate healing and prevent future sprains.
- Osteoarthritis: This degenerative joint disease can cause chronic pain and stiffness. Prolotherapy may help by stimulating the growth of new, healthy tissue.
- Meniscus injuries: Tears in the meniscus, the shock-absorbing cartilage in your knee, can be painful and debilitating. Prolotherapy may help repair and regenerate this essential tissue.
- Tendinosis: Overuse or repetitive strain can lead to tendon degeneration and pain. Prolotherapy can stimulate the healing process, reducing inflammation and promoting tendon repair.
If you have these conditions and want a natural, non-surgical treatment, prolotherapy could be the solution for you. Our team at Performance Ortho will evaluate if prolotherapy is right for you based on your needs and goals.
