What Is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a natural safe injection therapy that is injected in to the affected ligaments, tendons and cartilage which leads to local inflammation. The localised inflammation triggers a wound healing cascade resulting in the deposit of new collagen fibres. New collagen shrinks as it matures, tightening and strengthening the ligament by 40% than the original ligament. This new physical structure of ligament becomes more stable causing reduced or eliminated pain.

“I Was in terrible pain from constant flare up with plantar fasciitis. Doctor explained and showed me why I had the pain and prepared a specially made insole. I’ll be honest I thought twice about purchasing the insole , now it’s just two months later , I’m walking everyday and sometimes I can run and the pressure has eased of my feet , hips and knees . I honestly never thought I could train again the way I used to and it’s all to doctors great knowledge. I was in excruciating pain and had cortisone injection a year earlier and nothing worked . A tip for insoles is I wear them under my sneaker insole so I have the cushioning I need. Best podiatrist ever !!! Thank you”
