Prolotherapy is an injection treatment used to relieve pain. Your healthcare provider will inject a small amount of an irritant into your body. Dextrose (sugar) solution is the most commonly injected irritant. Proponents of prolotherapy claim it relieves pain by jumpstarting your body’s natural healing abilities.
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 Does Prolozone Work?
Prolozone is the addition of oxygen gas to the prolotherapy mixture.
How Much Does Prolotherapy /Prolozone Cost?
Our current price for this procedure is $650.00 per treatment.
