Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a form of injection therapy where glucose is injected into ligaments in joints in order to stimulate growth factors and regenerate damaged ligaments, tendons and cartilage. Chronic musculoskeletal pain often means the body is “stuck” in a repair mode and failing to repair damaged tendons and ligaments. Prolotherapy causes the body to send “repair chemicals” to the area of pain and can in many cases be extremely beneficial towards long term healing. In combination with nutritional medicine the results appear to be even better, although long-term trials are awaited. Book a consultation with Dr Gupta to discuss the role prolotherapy may play in the treatment of your chronic pain problem.
