Discover how Florida Primary Care Center uses prolotherapy to relieve pain, strengthen joints, and promote natural healing—without surgery or long-term medications.

What is Prolotherapy? in wintergarden

​

Prolotherapy (short for proliferation therapy) is a regenerative injection technique that stimulates your body’s natural healing response. It works by injecting a mild irritant—typically a dextrose (sugar) solution—into weakened or injured ligaments, tendons, or joints.

​

This triggers localized inflammation, which encourages your body to build new collagen and strengthen the targeted tissue, leading to improved joint stability and long-term pain relief.

​

Ideal For Treating:​

• Knee osteoarthritis

• Chronic low back pain

• Ligament laxity

• Tendon injuries (e.g., tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis)

• Neck or whiplash pain

• Joint instability from sports or repetitive strain

Why Choose Prolotherapy?

​

✅ Non-surgical and minimally invasive

✅ Drug-free approach to chronic pain

✅ Long-term healing, not just symptom relief

✅ Safe and well-tolerated

✅ Backed by clinical research

✅ Performed by experienced providers
