Prolotherapy Injections

Prolotherapy is a medical treatment that consists of injections of chemical stimulants to aid in the repair of injured or weakened human tissues. The chemical stimulant is injected, causing the release of multiple growth factors to produce a natural healing effect. Prolotherapy mimics the body's natural response to an injury – producing a desired inflammation in the injured tissue, increasing the blood supply and nutrients to the area, and stimulating tissue repair. These injections have a wide application, helping to heal tendons, ligaments, connective tissue, joint capsules and other weakened or injured body parts.

A recent Florida Academy of Pain Medicine position paper, reviewing 40 case studies with 530,000 participants, noted an improvement of 45% to 82% in terms of return to work and previous functional activities.

Research in the area of Regenerative Medicine and Prolotherapy has been enhanced with the new interest in Stem Cells and the potential of repairing and regenerating human tissue. This rapidly growing area of medical treatment will continue to be on the forefront of medical research with continued innovative treatments and applications.

Prolotherapy is a chemical injection to heal injuries to tendons, ligaments and other tissue. South Florida residents have access to the most progressive non-invasive pain procedures available today through the Palm Beach Spine and Diagnostic Institute.
