Prolotherapy

Boost healing and alleviate joint pain with effective prolotherapy treatments at CDL Rehabilitation in Miami.

What Prolotherapy Are

Prolotherapy is a regenerative medicine technique that involves injecting an irritant solution (often dextrose) into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints to stimulate the body’s natural healing process.

Treatment Description

Prolotherapy promotes healing by causing a mild inflammatory response, which stimulates tissue repair and regeneration. This technique is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal pain and ligament/tendon injuries.

What It Includes

The procedure involves injecting a dextrose solution into the affected tissues, such as ligaments or tendons, to promote healing. The injections are typically done over multiple sessions. Each session usually lasts 15-30 minutes.

Disorders treated

What Are Prolotherapy Used For?

Prolotherapy is effective for treating conditions like ligament and tendon injuries, chronic back pain, knee pain, osteoarthritis, rotator cuff injuries, and conditions involving chronic musculoskeletal pain.

Chronic Joint Pain

Helps regenerate tissues and reduce inflammation in joints affected by osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or general wear and tear.

Ligament and Tendon Injuries

Promotes healing and strengthens damaged ligaments and tendons, improving function and reducing pain from chronic injuries or sprains.

Knee Pain

Provides relief from chronic knee pain due to ligament, tendon, or cartilage damage by promoting tissue repair and improving joint stability.

Shoulder Pain

Reduces pain and promotes healing in the shoulder area, particularly in cases of rotator cuff injuries or labral tears.

Neck Pain

Helps manage chronic neck pain caused by ligament and tendon injuries, stimulating tissue repair and reducing inflammation.

Tendonitis

Aids in the recovery of tendons affected by overuse or injury, such as tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis, by promoting tissue regeneration.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Joint Pain

Without prolotherapy, chronic pain in ligaments or joints caused by instability or injury may persist, reducing quality of life.

Weak or Unstable Ligaments

Lack of treatment may prevent proper healing of ligaments, leading to instability and increasing the risk of further injuries.

Delayed Healing

Failing to address the root cause of joint or ligament issues can prolong recovery and hinder natural regeneration.

Reduced Mobility

Untreated joint or ligament instability can lead to stiffness and limited range of motion, affecting daily activities.

Progression to Chronic Conditions

Without timely intervention, minor joint or ligament issues may progress to degenerative conditions requiring more invasive treatments.
