Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy harnesses the power of concentrated dextrose (sugar) to irritate and inflame tissues in the affected area. This process releases growth factors that may aid in the repair of painful tendons, ligaments, and joints. Prolotherapy has two main mechanisms: mechanical and physiological.
Mechanically, we use ultrasound guidance to precisely target and deliver injections to the damaged area. In doing so, we create small, additional injuries that stimulate inflammation to initiate the body’s natural healing responses.
Physiologically, the solution used in prolotherapy releases growth factors that may aid in wound healing.
What to Expect During Prolotherapy
Supporting your body’s natural healing response through precision and regenerative care. Each prolotherapy session is performed with accuracy and comfort to achieve the best outcomes for your musculoskeletal health.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough physical assessment and imaging (ultrasound or X-ray, when indicated) help identify weakened or damaged connective tissues. This ensures a safe, accurate, and individualized treatment plan.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
A natural and safe alternative to cortisone injections, prolotherapy helps stabilize joints and relieve chronic pain from ligament or tendon weakness.
Guided Injection
After cleansing and numbing the area, the prolotherapy solution is precisely injected into the targeted ligaments or tendons using image-guided techniques for optimal accuracy and minimal discomfort.
Comfort & Safety
Local anesthesia ensures a comfortable experience. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated, allowing patients to return to normal activities soon after treatment.
Recovery & Results
Mild swelling, stiffness, or temporary discomfort may occur for 2–3 days—signs of your body’s healing process. Several sessions may be recommended depending on the condition and individual response
Fascia Hydrodissection
Fascia is a connective tissue “jacket” that surrounds and supports muscles, organs, and bones throughout the body. Composed of collagen and hyaluronic acid, it plays a vital role in musculoskeletal health.
Fascia hydrodissection targets fascia abnormalities identified through imaging (MSKUS) and related symptoms. The procedure is administered to address these dysfunctions, thereby improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function and quality of life.
Using ultrasound guidance, a needle delivers these specialized solutions to loosen thickened fascia or reduce inflammation and swelling.
What to Expect During Fascia Hydrodissection
The patient lies comfortably while the doctor uses ultrasound guidance to numb the area and precisely inject the affected fascia. Trigger point injections may also be given if muscle tension is present.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed evaluation using ultrasound imaging helps identify fascial restrictions and nerve entrapments. This allows your doctor to tailor a precise, targeted treatment plan to your unique anatomy.
Tissue Restoration
Hydrodissection improves fascial glide and restores normal tissue movement, reducing compression on nerves and easing chronic pain.
Benefits
This treatment relieves pain, restores mobility, and reduces inflammation by releasing restricted fascia, freeing compressed nerves, and improving tissue glide and healing.
Injectate options
- Platelet poor plasma (PPP)
- Platelet lysate (PL)
- Traumeel
- Hyaluronic acid
- 5% Dextrose solution
Recovery & Results
Most patients notice improvement within days to weeks as inflammation subsides and the fascia heals. Multiple sessions may be recommended for chronic cases to achieve optimal outcomes.
Nerve Hydrodissection
Nerve hydrodissection is a minimally invasive ultrasound-guided procedure aimed at targeting compressed peripheral nerves in the extremities. When delivering this treatment, a specific solution is used to dissect the nerve away from the surrounding constrictions. By releasing soft tissue compression on the nerve, flushing out local inflammatory mediators, and creating an anti-inflammatory environment, the nerve is potentially “freed up” and able to function better.
What to Expect During the Therapy
Each session is performed with ultrasound guidance to precisely release nerves trapped within surrounding tissue.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A detailed clinical and imaging evaluation helps identify the specific nerve entrapment site. This ensures the treatment is accurate, safe, and tailored to each patient’s anatomy and symptoms.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal for individuals with nerve entrapment or chronic nerve pain unresponsive to standard treatments. This nonsurgical, image-guided approach restores function, comfort, and nerve glide safely.
Benefits
Relieves pain, restores nerve mobility, and reduces inflammation through precise, ultrasound-guided treatment — promoting lasting comfort and functional recovery.
Injectate options
- PRP
- Platelet lysate (PL)
- Traumeel
- MFAT
- 5% Dextrose solution
Recovery & Results
Some patients experience temporary numbness, pressure, or mild swelling. Most resume activities quickly, while others may rest up to 72 hours, depending on the ingredients used.
Trigger Point Injections (TPI)
Trigger point injections are designed to relieve pain caused by tight, painful areas of muscle, known as trigger points. These points can form when muscles are unable to relax, leading to discomfort, reduced range of motion, and referred pain in surrounding areas.
What to Expect During the Therapy
Each session is performed with ultrasound guidance to accurately identify and treat muscle trigger points. A small amount of medication is injected directly into the tight muscle band to release tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing.
Comprehensive Evaluation
A thorough clinical and imaging evaluation is conducted to determine the presence and location of muscle trigger points. This personalized approach ensures the treatment is safe, precise, and tailored to each patient’s anatomy, symptoms, and underlying causes of pain.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal for individuals experiencing chronic muscle tension or pain that has not responded to rest, stretching, or physical therapy
Benefits
- Relieve localized and referred muscle pain
- Improve mobility and flexibility
- Reduce inflammation and muscle tightness
- Restore normal muscle function
Injectate options
- Anti-inflammatory solution
- Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- Regenerative biologic preparations
Recovery & Results
Most patients experience relief shortly after the procedure, though some may notice gradual improvement over several days. Mild soreness at the injection site is common and typically resolves quickly.
