Non-Surgical Solution for Your Persistent Pain

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy treatment is based on the principle of injecting an irritant solution into painful ligament and tendon adhesion sites in musculoskeletal diseases. Healing is triggered by the tissue initiating an inflammatory process in these areas.

With prolotherapy, the tissue’s self-repair mechanism is initiated. In this way, damaged tissues, joints and ligaments are strengthened again.
