A local anaesthetic with sterile dextrose solution is injected into the problem area. Prolotherapy works by prompting your body’s natural repair mechanisms to heal injured ligaments, tendons and joints. This technique may be effective in reducing pain and promote healing for:
Chronic low back and sacroiliac joint pain
Neck pain
Osteoarthritis
Unstable joints
