Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy Specialist in Raleigh, NC

Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine uses a technique called prolotherapy, also known as “proliferation therapy” or “regenerative injection therapy,” to treat our patients suffering from injury, acute pain, or chronic pain. For our patients, prolotherapy is a nonsurgical, in-office treatment that uses your body’s immune response to repair injured or damaged musculoskeletal tissue.

What does prolotherapy work for? The wide range of conditions includes:

  • Sports injuries
  • Arthritis & osteoarthritis
  • Tendonitis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Degenerative joint disease

Wake Nonsurgical Ortho & Sports Medicine is proud to provide prolotherapy as an effective treatment for acute or chronic pain. Learn more about prolotherapy and call (919)-719-2270, or schedule your appointment online today!

How Does Prolotherapy Work?

For patients interested in prolotherapy in Raleigh, NC, this is a painless, in-office procedure that takes around 10 minutes. Concentrated dextrose, or sugar water,  is injected directly into the site of pain, stimulating a mild, temporary inflammation. Sensing injury, the body floods the area with healing cells and promoting cellular growth in areas that often respond slowly to healing, such as ligaments and tendons.

Over the course of six to ten weeks, your body’s natural healing response leads to a reduction or even complete elimination of joint, ligament, or tendon pain.

How Much Does This Prolotherapy Cost?

Our current price for this procedure is $650.00 per treatment.

What is the procedure process?

Prolotherapy, also known as “regenerative injection therapy”, involves injecting a solution into the region of tendons or ligaments for the purpose of strengthening weakened connective tissue and alleviating pain. This usually involves a mixture of local anesthetic and dextrose (a sugar compound). This is thought to cause the body to react to the irritant by causing scarring and tightening otherwise loose tissues. There is mixed evidence for this procedure, however, there are few side effects and many patients who have failed other tendonitis treatments do seem to benefit from regenerative injection therapy.
