Prolo-therapy
Prolotherapy is where a glucose solution is placed into a joint or under the skin for assistance with chronic/ nerve pain.
Prolotherapy mimics the natural healing process by initiating normal inflammation which allows for collagen growth in joints and soft tissues. The goal of Prolotherapy is to strengthen connective tissue and reduce pain and dysfunction.
At Foot Body Sole we utilise Prolotherapy for treatment of chronic ligament and joint pains in the foot and knee. Prolotherapy can also be utilised for reduction of nerve- type pain to the skin.
A local anaesthetic and glucose is injected with a small needle into joints or under the skin. Prolotherapy is popular as a natural alternative to corticosteroids. We often use Prolotherapy for chronic ankle sprains, ankle joint pain and knee pain.
