What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, also called Regenerative Injection Therapy (RIT), is an effective technique for
treating many types of joint or musculoskeletal pain. Prolotherapy is series of injections in
and around the joint structure that stimulate the body’s own mechanism to grow and
strengthen joint tissues.
Is Prolotherapy for Me?
Whether the pain is from acute injury or long-term joint wear and tear, Prolotherapy is a very
effective option that offers long term relief for many people. More importantly, Prolotherapy
addresses the root cause of the pain, and is nearly always a better option than long term use
of anti-inflammatory or pain medication and can often avoid invasive and costly joint surgery.

Why Does Prolotherapy Work?
Through the wear and tear of daily life or acute
trauma, ligaments and tendons surrounding joints are
often stretched. This causes joint instability and
improper movement of the joint structure. Over time
this improper movement leads to joint degeneration
and pain. Prolotherapy addresses the cause of this
pain by restoring stability of the joint by
strengthening the surrounding joint structure.
