How Successful is Prolotherapy?
October 20, 2023
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates the body’s own healing response to repair damaged tissues. It is commonly used to treat chronic pain and instability caused by ligament, tendon, and joint injuries.
Success rates
Prolotherapy has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
- Arthritis
- Tendonitis
- Ligament tears
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Knee pain
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Shoulder pain
- Hip pain
- Ankle pain
Success rates for prolotherapy vary depending on the condition being treated, but overall, they are very good. A 2020 review of studies found that prolotherapy had a success rate of greater than 50% improvement in pain level in 80-90% of patients. For example, a study on the use of prolotherapy to treat knee osteoarthritis found that 91% of patients reported significant improvement in pain and function after just 3-4 injections. Another study on the use of prolotherapy to treat chronic shoulder pain found that 85% of patients reported significant improvement in pain and function after 6 months of treatment.
