PROLO
Therapy
WHAT IS PROLOTHERAPY?
Prolotherapy, also known as nonsurgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection, is a recognized orthopedic procedure that stimulates the body’s natural healing processes to strengthen and repair injured and painful joints and connective tissue.
PRP Regeneration Specialists' highly trained professionals use a special injection to the injury site, “tricking” the body into repairing again. The mild inflammatory response which is created by the injection encourages the growth of new, normal ligament or tendon fibers, resulting in a tightening of the weakened structure.
This treatment is especially effective for nerve pain, neck pain, and low back pain.

-
How is the Focused Shockwave magnetic treatment performed?The Focused Shockwave treatment takes approximately 10-20 minutes per area. During the session, an electromagnetic handpiece is gently guided over the area of pain. The device will find the damaged area because the person will feel nothing over healthy tissue. When the handpiece is held over a damaged area the person will feel a deep aching sensation. The energy can be turned up or down depending on the pain level. High energy is not needed to stimulate the healing process. Research shows that 3 to 6 treatments spaced one week apart lead to long-lasting pain relief. Many patients notice pain relief with their first treatment. Additional information about Focused Shockwave Therapy is linked here.

Research shows that 3 to 6 treatments spaced one week apart lead to long-lasting pain relief. Many patients notice pain relief with their first treatment.
