In the prolotherapy technique, a solution is injected into all joints, cartilage, ligaments and tendons in the human body that has been damaged or lost its former function. (We use 15% dextrose, 25% dextrose intra-articular ) This solution provides proliferation (growth-healing) of cells and tissues. Inflammation is deliberately created in the tissue with the injected solution.
As a result of the inflammatory response that occurs with this irritation, blood flow increases in the weak or dysfunctional area, cells that repair (structures such as cartilage-ligament-tendon) come to this area, so that new tissue healing begins and re-repair is stimulated. Prolotherapy is a simple and natural technique that stimulates the body’s repair system to restore the painful, weak and dysfunctional area back to its original state. Prolotherapy relieves pain by treating cartilage, tendon, joint and muscle problems. Another important factor in this treatment is the recovery of the patient from rheumatic and cortisone drugs.
