What to Expect.

01Exam firstWe go over your symptoms, examine the area and may order X-rays.

02Numb and injectA local anesthetic and a dextrose or saline solution, placed where the tissue is weak.

Soreness and swelling for a few days is normal. Improvement usually starts in a few weeks and builds over a few months. Most plans are a short series.

Is it for you

Who Prolotherapy Is For.

A good fitLoose or strained ligaments, joints that feel unstable, and irritated nerves, especially early on. It’s often the first injection we try.

Probably notAn active infection at the site, a bleeding disorder, or pain that needs imaging or a specialist first. We’ll tell you if that’s the case.

What decides itA hands-on exam. Prolotherapy is a judgment call about which tissue is weak, so the exam matters more than the injection.
