Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a safe and natural form of therapy which stimulates the proliferation (“prolo”) of new collagen cells and connective tissue.      Cartilage, ligaments, muscles and tendons comprise connective tissue.  A safe solution primarily consisting of dextrose and a lidocaine or procaine is injected into the site of trauma or injury and this controlled irritation produces an inflammatory response which sparks the healing and repair of the damaged or dysfunctional tissue.
