Prolotherapy is a gentle-but-powerful injection therapy clinically proven to reduce joint and muscle pain and promote healing.  During a prolotherapy treatment, a small amount of solution (typically including dextrose and the anaesthetic procaine) is injected into a joint space and/or the surrounding muscles. This “restarts” the body’s natural healing process, for stronger, healthier, less painful muscles and joints.

Conditions treated include:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Lateral epicondylitis (“tennis elbow”)
  • Medial epicondylitis (“golfer’s elbow”)
  • Tendon or ligament injuries
  • Muscular tension or discomfort
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Bursitis
  • Headache

Advanced Injection Therapies such as prolotherapy are also offered at IHC.
