Prolotherapy
Regenerative Injection Therapy for Joint and Soft Tissue Support
At Vancouver Naturopathic Clinic, prolotherapy is offered as part of a comprehensive treatment approach for patients seeking non-surgical options for musculoskeletal health and recovery.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, sometimes called Regenerative Injection Therapy, involves the injection of a carefully prepared dextrose solution into targeted ligaments, tendons, or joint structures.
The treatment creates a controlled healing response that encourages the body to repair and strengthen connective tissue.
Over time, this process may help improve joint stability, support tissue integrity, and reduce pain associated with chronic injuries and degeneration.
Why Consider Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy may be considered for individuals experiencing:
Chronic joint pain
Ligament sprains and strains
Tendon injuries
Shoulder pain
Knee pain
Hip pain
Low back pain
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Sports injuries
Joint instability
Patients often choose prolotherapy when symptoms persist despite other conservative therapies or when they are seeking alternatives to surgery.
What to Expect
Initial Assessment
Your naturopathic doctor will complete a detailed health history and physical examination. Imaging studies or additional testing may be reviewed when appropriate to help identify the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Treatment Day
The treatment area is assessed and prepared.
A regenerative dextrose solution is injected into specific areas of concern.
Treatment is performed in-office and typically requires minimal downtime.
Following Treatment
Temporary soreness, stiffness, or mild swelling may occur for several days following treatment.
Because prolotherapy works by stimulating the body's natural healing response, improvement is often gradual. Many patients require a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart, depending on the nature and severity of the condition being addressed.
Your doctor will develop an individualized treatment plan based on your goals and response to care.
