To alleviate pain, prolotherapists use Prolotherapy Injections. These injections are administered with very mild solutions to stimulate the body’s ability to generate collagen and reduce pain. Each patient has different problems and according to the patients need, the solution used differs. Each Prolotherapy injection however motivates the body to heal itself naturally through a variety of responses. Whatever the method employed, the final outcome is curing pain by building new tissue and strengthening the joints. Most of the solutions used in Prolotherapy injections have a double-edged effect. It is a combination of anesthetic and proliferant inflammatory quality. Occasionally prolotherapists used mild chemical irritants, such as phenol, guaiacol, or tannic acid to trigger the healing process. An important factor in the healing process is the medical practitioner a patient chooses and his skill level.

Prolotherapy rejuvenates the body by injection of natural substances, to stimulate the growth of collagen in order to strengthen weak or damaged joints, tendons, ligaments or muscles. This treatment is a simple, yet cost-effective alternative to traditional drugs and other forms of treatment to relieve pain.

Prolotherapy is so named because it causes new collagen to grow. Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in the body that is necessary in the formation of new connective tissue. This tissue, helps in holding our skeletal structure together. Prolotherapy makes collagen through a series of injections.

A prolotherapist identifies the painful spot by gently pressing on the painful area. When the doctor’s touch elicits an intensely painful spot, known as the trigger point, this is the spot where Prolotherapy is given.

The benefits of Prolotherapy are known all over the world and are widely accepted and acknowledged as a comprehensive way of dealing with unbearable pain of the joints. This treatment has no side effects, except for mild swelling and pain in the area where the injection is administered for a short duration.
