Prolotherapy: A Natural Path to Pain Relief
August 23, 2024
Are you tired of living with chronic pain? Have you tried countless treatments without lasting results? Prolotherapy may be the answer you’ve been searching for. At Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics, we’ve seen firsthand how this innovative treatment can transform lives.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, also known as proliferation therapy or regenerative injection therapy, is a unique approach to healing musculoskeletal pain. It involves injecting a mild irritant, typically a dextrose solution, into the affected area. This triggers a natural healing response, stimulating the body to rebuild weakened tissues and reduce pain.
Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy offers relief for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Bursitis
- Whiplash
- Lower back pain
- Tennis elbow
- Osteoarthritis
- Fibromyalgia
- Other chronic aches and pains
How Effective is Prolotherapy?
Many patients experience significant pain relief within just 4-6 weeks of prolotherapy treatment. Unlike pain medications that merely mask symptoms, prolotherapy addresses the root cause of the problem. This often leads to long-lasting, and even permanent, pain relief.
Is Prolotherapy Safe?
Prolotherapy is a remarkably safe treatment. The primary ingredient is dextrose, a simple sugar, combined with a local anesthetic. While some soreness at the injection site is normal, serious side effects are rare. In fact, numerous clinical studies support the safety and efficacy of prolotherapy.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
To determine if prolotherapy is the right choice for your specific condition, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider. Our experienced team at Chattanooga Non-Surgical Orthopedics can evaluate your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
