Prolotherapy
Stimulate your body’s repair system to strengthen joints and relieve pain
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment that helps repair weakened or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. It’s a safe, non-surgical approach for people dealing with chronic joint pain, instability, or soft tissue injuries that haven’t responded to rest or conventional care.
The word “prolotherapy” comes from “proliferation,” meaning to regenerate or rebuild. The treatment involves injecting a small amount of a natural solution—typically dextrose (a form of sugar) mixed with a local anesthetic—into the affected area. This controlled irritation triggers a localized healing response, encouraging the body to lay down new collagen and strengthen connective tissue.
Dr. Igor Ostrovsky has extensive experience with prolotherapy and uses it to treat conditions like knee pain, shoulder instability, low back pain, tennis elbow, and ligament injuries. It’s an ideal option for patients looking to avoid steroid injections, long-term pain medications, or surgery.
What to expect during treatment:
A typical prolotherapy session takes about 20 minutes and is done in-office. After identifying the weakened or painful area, Dr. Ostrovsky injects the prolotherapy solution precisely where it’s needed to stimulate healing. Some patients feel a mild ache or fullness in the area after treatment, which usually resolves within a day or two.
Multiple sessions (usually 3–6) are spaced a few weeks apart to achieve lasting results as tissue gradually strengthens and regenerates.
Ideal for people with:
- Joint instability (e.g., knees, shoulders, hips, ankles)
- Ligament or tendon sprains and strains
- Chronic low back pain or sacroiliac dysfunction
- Tendinitis or repetitive strain injuries
- Sports injuries and overuse conditions
- Degenerative joint issues that haven’t responded to conventional care
Why choose Dr. Ostrovsky:
With over 45 years of clinical experience, Dr. Ostrovsky is known for his precise injection technique, deep knowledge of connective tissue healing, and commitment to restoring long-term function without surgery. Trained in both conventional and integrative medicine, he carefully evaluates each patient to determine whether prolotherapy alone or in combination with other regenerative therapies—such as PRP or Prolozone—will offer the best results.
Patients trust his comprehensive, personalized approach and often report not only less pain but improved joint stability, strength, and mobility after completing a treatment series.
