Home Bookings About Meet the Team Treatments Contact Us Book an appointment Prolotherapy Prolotherapy is a form of injection therapy used to treat certain conditions. We commonly use it here for stubborn plantar fasciitis cases, chronic ligament injuries and joint pain, among other things. It is an established technique used to strengthen weakened and damaged ligaments which cause pain and instability of a joint. It is used to decrease pain associated with a number of musculoskeletal conditions. It is also used to decrease pain and improve function in some forms of arthritis. Prolotherapy technique requires administration via injection of a local anesthetic called lignocaine to minimise discomfort and concentrated Glucose into a ligament. Prolotherapy is mostly used for treating chronic tendon injuries. Overused tendons become painful and sometimes fail to heal due to excess Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF). An ultrasound can reveal swollen or torn tissue, with neovessels surrounding the tendon. There are nerves adjacent to them that are very painful.  Prolotherapy is often used as an alternative treatment to cortisone injections. Which, if used long term may weaken connective tissue. The Glucose solution used in phototherapy is water-soluble and easily excreted by your body once it’s done its job. How does Prolotherapy work?

2. Prolotherapy works by prompting your body’s natural repair mechanisms to heal injured or weakened joints, ligaments and tendons. It is a non-surgical method of stimulating growth when ligaments or tendons have been stretched, damaged or torn. The injection simulates injury, through creating inflammation without damage. This triggers the body’s healing response by encouraging the growth of collagen fibres and connective tissues in the area. This allows the weak tissues to thicken, tighten and strengthen. The result is a stronger tendon or ligament that can hold your body’s structures in place more effectively. Pain should reduce significantly as the weakened area heals. This process may be different for each person. In most cases, a variety of points must be injected. Local anaesthetics relieve pain temporarily. Pain may occur for up to two days following the inflammation. In case of pain, pain relief is used. Most people experience significant healing and improvement by 6-8 weeks If you have any questions regarding prolotherapy or to determine whether Prolotherapy is the right choice of treatment for you, we would suggest consulting with our Podiatrists.
