Injections

Regenerative injection therapy is used to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal structures such as tendons, ligaments and joints to treat patients with chronic pain, improve function, increased range of motion and regenerate tissue. Techniques and injections may vary by condition.

Principles

With Prolotherapy and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), we are able to offer patients the latest regenerative medicine treatments that are both safe and effective. A core principle is that a small volume of a solution is injected at sites on painful ligament and tendon insertions, and in adjacent joint space over a series of treatment sessions to maintain long-term improvement. Treatment protocol is individualized for each patient, taking into account severity and age of injury as well as the patient’s individual healing capacity.

Conditions Treated

Most musculoskeletal conditions can be treated with prolotherapy and PRP. Areas typically treated include shoulders, elbows, wrists/hands, hips, knees, ankles/feet, neck, upper and lower back, and TMJ. Conditions commonly treated include:
