Treatment

Prolotherapy Injection

Prolotherapy stimulates the body’s healing processes to strengthen and repair injured and painful joints and connective tissue.

Prolotherapy is often used instead of cortisone shots to treat painful joints, ligaments, and tendons. Instead of suppressing pain and inflammation, prolotherapy works to heal the tissues, leading to increased function and decreased pain.

Prolotherapy is available at the Neil Riordan Center.

Prolotherapy can help with:

  • Tendonitis
  • Sciatica
  • Low back pain
  • Neck pain
  • Joint instability or hypermobility
  • Connective tissue repair
  • Chronic joint pain
  • Arthritis
  • Restrictive motion or pain with motion
  • Acute sprains or strains
  • Ligament laxity or partial tears
