Understanding Prolotherapy: What You Need to Know Before Giving Consent

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to strengthen and repair injured joints and connective tissue. At our clinic, we use prolotherapy to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain, ligament laxity, joint instability, and tendon injuries—without surgery.

Before receiving prolotherapy, it’s important that you understand the procedure, its potential benefits, and the risks involved. As part of our standard protocol, we require informed consent to ensure that you are fully aware of what to expect and feel empowered to make the best decision for your health.

Here’s a short video that explains the treatment in more detail:

What to Expect:

• A local anesthetic may be used, followed by a series of small injections into the affected area.

• These injections contain a natural irritant (often dextrose) that triggers a localized healing response.

• Some soreness or swelling may occur after the treatment as your body initiates tissue repair.

Potential Benefits:

• Reduced joint pain

• Improved stability and function

• Support for natural tissue healing

Possible Risks:

• Temporary discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the injection site

• Rare risk of infection or allergic reaction
