WHAT IS PROLOTHERAPY IN CALGARY AB?

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical treatment for joint pain. It is a regenerative therapy, meaning it stimulates the body's natural healing response in areas of injured tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. By injecting injured ligaments, tendons, and/or cartilage with a mild irritant (dextrose), a mild inflammatory response is triggered to give the body a second chance at healing. This controlled inflammation creates stronger and healthy tendons, ligaments, and/or cartilage. When function in a joint is restored, pain is decreased and mobility is returned.

PROLOTHERAPY VS CORTICOSTEROID INJECTIONS

Unlike corticosteroid (cortisone) injections, prolotherapy injections work by healing inquired tissue. Cortisone manages pain by decreasing inflammation, and works in about 30-50% of cases. For some people cortisone injections work well at first, and only 1-3 injections should be considered. However, over time with repeated injections the effectiveness of cortisone decreases. Additionally, cortisone has the potential to break down tissue. Prolotherapy is a great alternative to steroid injections in Calgary.

PROLOZONE

Prolozone is a combination of prolotherapy (dextrose) and ozone joint injections. The procedure is largely the same as prolotherapy, simply with the addition of an ozone injection after the high concentration dextrose solution. It is performed during the same injection, so you won't be needled twice in the same area. The addition of ozone adds to the tissue regenerative potential of prolotherapy, increasing its effectiveness.
