Prolotherapy
Injections that prompt your body’s own repair response in weakened connective tissue.
Book a consultationHow it can help
Prolotherapy involves injecting a mild irritant solution, often dextrose, into or around weakened ligaments and tendons. The aim is to prompt a small healing response in that tissue.
It is typically given as a series of sessions over several weeks. Evidence and results vary by condition, so your doctor will discuss whether it is a reasonable option for your pain.
Who it may suit
- Long-standing ligament or tendon pain
- Joints that feel loose or unstable
- Pain that has not settled with other measures
What to expect
- Consultation. Your doctor examines the area and confirms whether prolotherapy suits your situation.
- Treatment plan. We agree the areas to treat and the likely number of sessions.
- Injections. The solution is injected at the points where tissue is weakened or painful.
- Recovery. You may feel temporary soreness. We explain which activities to adjust afterwards.
- Review. We check your progress between sessions and adapt the plan.
