Prolotherapy, also known as Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), is a minimally invasive injection treatment used to support the body’s natural healing response in areas involving joints, ligaments, and tendons.
Prolotherapy may be considered for certain types of acute or chronic musculoskeletal pain, including discomfort associated with joint instability, overuse, sports injuries, arthritis, or age-related wear and tear. It may also be incorporated alongside other treatments, such as acupuncture or chiropractic care.
Book OnlineHow Prolotherapy Works
Treatment involves injecting a solution into targeted areas where ligaments, tendons, or surrounding tissues may be contributing to pain or instability. The goal is to stimulate a localized healing response and support tissue repair and joint stability.
The number and frequency of treatments vary depending on the condition, its severity, and the individual’s response to care. Your provider will evaluate your progress and determine whether additional treatments are appropriate.
Neural Prolotherapy
Neural prolotherapy is a related injection technique that uses small, superficial injections around targeted areas associated with irritated or sensitive nerves. Dextrose solutions may be used as part of treatment with the goal of supporting pain relief, mobility, and the body’s natural healing response.
This approach may be considered for certain musculoskeletal and nerve-related pain concerns. An evaluation is necessary to determine whether prolotherapy or neural prolotherapy is appropriate for your individual condition.
