Prolotherapy Procedure
Prolotherapy is an outpatient procedure done in your doctor’s office that takes about 30 minutes. Your doctor may use X-ray or ultrasound images to ensure the injection is at the right location.
Some soreness may occur after the procedure, but many patients return to work or their regular activities on the same day. While one treatment may provide significant benefits, the procedure can be repeated if necessary.
