Prolotherapy

Dextrose prolotherapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment that helps your body heal long-lasting pain in tendons, muscles, and joints. It works by injecting a natural sugar solution (called dextrose) into the sore or hurt area. This mild irritation wakes up your body’s healing system and brings in cells that help fix and strengthen the tissue.

Prolotherapy is especially helpful for problems like tendonitis, loose joints, or sprained ligaments that haven’t gotten better with rest or physical therapy. Over time, it can help lower pain, make joints more stable, and help you move better—without using steroids or surgery.
