What is Prolotherapy in Calgary?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response in areas of injured tendons and ligaments. By injecting injured ligaments and/or tendons with a mild irritant (dextrose and procaine), a mild inflammatory response is triggered to give the body a second chance at healing.

This controlled inflammation creates stronger and healthy tendons and/or ligaments. When a function in a joint is restored, pain is decreased and mobility is returned.
