Prolotherapy - The Longevity Centers Of America

What Is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is an injection-based therapy that stimulates the body’s natural healing response. By introducing a mild irritant solution into weakened ligaments or tendons, prolotherapy encourages localized inflammation — a controlled process that signals the body to repair, strengthen, and stabilize the affected area.

This treatment is often chosen by patients with chronic joint pain, instability, or injuries that have not fully healed on their own.

How Prolotherapy Works

Assessment – A clinician identifies joints, ligaments, or tendons that are weak or unstable.
Precision-Guided Injections – performed with ultrasound for accuracy
Controlled Response – The solution stimulates a natural healing cascade.
Repair & Strengthening – Over time, new collagen is laid down, which may strengthen ligaments and improve joint stability.

Potential Benefits of Prolotherapy

Patients often pursue prolotherapy to help support:

Strengthening of weak or lax ligaments
Improved joint stability in commonly affected areas like knees, hips, shoulders, and spine
Reduction of chronic musculoskeletal pain (including low back pain)
Recovery from overuse injuries, sprains, or tendon strains
A natural, non-surgical approach to chronic pain management

*Prolotherapy is considered an integrative and regenerative therapy. It is not FDA-approved to diagnose, treat, or cure disease.
