Prolotherapy, Trigger Point Injection, Neural Therapy

---

Prolotherapy, short for "proliferative therapy," is a medical treatment used to stimulate the healing of injured or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints. It involves the injection of a solution into the affected area.

The purpose of prolotherapy is to initiate an inflammatory response at the site of injury, which triggers the body's natural healing processes. The solution used in prolotherapy acts as an irritant, promoting the formation of new connective tissue and encouraging tissue repair.

During a prolotherapy session, a healthcare professional injects the solution directly into the injured or weakened ligaments, tendons, or joints. The number and frequency of injections depend on the specific condition being treated and the individual's response to the treatment. Multiple sessions are usually required, typically spaced weeks apart.

Prolotherapy is commonly used to treat chronic musculoskeletal conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendinitis, ligament sprains, and joint instability. It aims to strengthen and stabilize the affected area, reduce pain, and improve function.

It's important to note that while prolotherapy is generally considered safe, it may not be suitable for everyone. It's recommended to consult with Dr. Ali Famouri to discuss your specific condition, treatment options, and potential benefits and risks of prolotherapy.
