Prolotherapy is a therapy to help repair ligaments and tendons. Ligaments and tendons have limited blood supply which can slow down/limit healing around those injuries. This procedure uses a special solution, with variations of the following ingredients such as dextrose, saline, sarapin, and procaine or lidocaine. This solution is injected into the ligament or tendon where it attaches to the bone. This causes a localized inflammatory reaction in these weak areas which starts local healing by increasing the blood supply and flow of nutrients and stimulates the tissue to repair itself. This is one of the most successful ways to help repair ligaments and tendons, especially when combined with PRP.
