What can Dextrose Prolotherapy Treat?

 

Prolotherapy (Proliferative Therapy) is a stunning alternative to the high cost, debilitating recovery and rehabilitation of surgery.  It is a wonderful medical procedure in antiaging medicine. Its main strength is to provide increased mobility by improving the stability & function of the joint itself.

 

Dextrose, is a natural substance directly injected into the affected tissues and capable of reactivating the dormant healing cascade of various types of growth factors naturally created by your own body.

 

Dextrose Prolotherapy is a technique in which a sterile solution of a type of sugar (Dextrose) is injected into ligaments, tendons and joint capsules to reactivate the production of new Growth factors and healing substances including Cytokines, Enzyme, Prostaglandins, Fibronectin, Nitric oxide, Collagenase, Elastase, and Collagen fibers. The function of these substances is to repair and regenerate the damaged or weakened tissues responsible for the functional problem, their symptoms and the pain they create.  

​

Dextrose Prolotherapy is one of the best alternative medicine procedures for the treatment of chronic back & neck problems including: chronic or acute pain, bulging discs, herniated discs, sciatica, scoliosis, deformities of the spinal curvatures, sacroiliac joint and vertebral joint problems, recurrent subluxations of the vertebras, and ligament laxity (weakness, shown on MRI’s, causing hyper mobility of the spinal vertebras). 

​

Since most orthopedic injuries and chronic pains involve damage to the ligaments, tendons, meniscus, labrums and cartilage, just about all musculoskeletal conditions can be treated with dextrose injections.
