What Is Prolotherapy And How Does It Work?

The term "Prolotherapy" is short for "proliferation therapy." Proliferation, of course, means "rapid production." What Prolotherapy rapidly produces is collagen and cartilage.

Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body that is a necessary element for the formation of new connective tissue, the tissues that holds our skeletal infrastructure together. These tissues include tendons, ligaments, muscle fascia and joint capsular tissue.

Prolotherapy helps make collagen through a series of injections, not of collagen, but of mild chemical or natural (such as dextrose-sugar) irritants, which stimulates the immune system's healing mechanism to produce collagen naturally. The making of new collagen makes for strengthened and restored joints. Restored and strengthened joints make for permanent pain relief.

Millions of Prolotherapy injections are given each year by hundreds of physicians.
