Prolotherapy Treatment for Chronic Pain and Joint Instability at Golden State Pain Solutions
Introduction to Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy, also known as proliferative therapy, is a non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction technique offered at Golden State Pain Solutions in Carmichael, CA. This reparative treatment enhances the body's natural healing processes to effectively manage and treat various musculoskeletal conditions.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms. By injecting a dextrose solution into damaged tissues, prolotherapy encourages the growth of new cells and tissues, particularly in areas of joint instability, chronic pain, or injuries that have not responded well to traditional treatments.
How Prolotherapy Works
The Injection Process
The treatment involves the careful injection of a natural irritant solution, typically concentrated dextrose, into the soft tissue of a joint. This solution induces a mild inflammatory response, which is the first phase of tissue repair. This controlled inflammation leads to the thickening and strengthening of damaged ligaments and tendons, thereby enhancing joint stability.
Healing Mechanism
Prolotherapy works by triggering a localized inflammatory response. This response increases the blood supply and flow of nutrients, stimulating the body to repair itself by producing new collagen and tissue. The new tissues help stabilize and strengthen the compromised joint or ligament, ultimately reducing pain and improving function.
Benefits of Prolotherapy
- Pain Reduction: Many patients experience a significant decrease in pain after undergoing prolotherapy, which can improve their overall quality of life.
- Enhanced Joint Stability: By strengthening the ligaments and tendons around the joint, prolotherapy can increase joint stability and prevent further injuries.
- Improved Functionality: Patients often notice enhanced mobility and function in the treated areas, enabling them to return to their daily activities or sports with less discomfort.
- Long-Term Relief: Prolotherapy offers a potential long-term solution to chronic pain by addressing the root cause of instability and weakness rather than just alleviating symptoms.

- Arthritis
