Prolotherapy is an injection of glucose (sugar), which triggers healing by irritating the tissues. Like stem cell and PRP treatments, your provider uses ultrasound imaging when injecting the sugar solution. The real-time imaging ensures that your provider places your regenerative treatment precisely at the site of the damaged tissues.

Prolotherapy is frequently used to treat torn ligaments. It’s effective in treating many problems. These include sacroiliac joint strains, ankle sprains, shin splints, whiplash injuries, and costochondritis, a condition in which the cartilage connecting a rib to your breastbone becomes inflamed.
