What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a nonsurgical treatment which stimulates healing. Short for “proliferation therapy,” Prolotherapy is also known as nonsurgical ligament and tendon reconstruction, or regenerative injection therapy. Prolotherapy works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to repair injured musculoskeletal tissue.

The treatment originated in the 1930’s when Dr. Earl Hackett, an osteopathic surgeon successfully treated his own severe hand injury.
