Prolotherapy by Dr. Sonali Lal at Integrative Spine & Sports
At Integrative Spine & Sports, Dr. Sonali Lal provides cutting-edge prolotherapy, a regenerative treatment designed to address chronic musculoskeletal pain by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes. This innovative therapy offers a non-surgical option for those seeking long-term relief from joint, ligament, and tendon pain without relying on medications or invasive procedures.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, short for “proliferative therapy,” is a form of regenerative injection treatment that stimulates the body’s ability to repair damaged or weakened tissue. It involves the injection of a natural solution, often dextrose-based, into the targeted area, promoting tissue regeneration and strengthening weakened structures. This can help alleviate pain and restore function to the affected areas.
How Does Prolotherapy Work?
Prolotherapy works by initiating a controlled, localized inflammatory response in the injured area. This response triggers the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and tissue repair. Over time, this strengthens ligaments, tendons, and joints, reducing pain and improving function.
Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is an effective treatment option for a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
- Chronic joint pain (e.g., knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow pain)
- Osteoarthritis
- Ligament and tendon injuries
- Sports injuries
- Degenerative disc disease
- Back and neck pain
- Tennis elbow
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
By addressing the underlying cause of instability or tissue damage, prolotherapy offers a long-term solution to chronic pain, rather than just providing temporary relief.
Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology (EPAT), also known as shockwave therapy, is the most advanced and highly effective treatment method for musculoskeletal conditions.
If left untreated, repetitive movements can gradually damage our musculoskeletal system, just like how a knife dulls over time. Someone who is damaging or injuring their body may not feel it immediately, but eventually, all the repetitive stress can take its toll on the body. Little by little, the tissues in our body break down over time.
The body responds to the damage by restoring injured tissue through a regeneration process. But at the rate that people use their bodies, the body often finds it difficult to catch up.
There often isn’t enough time to rest and heal the damaged tissue, so the damage continues to build up. What shockwave therapy does is that it accelerates the tissue regeneration process.
Instead of being forced to take long breaks to give the body time to regenerate tissue, shockwave therapy can help speed up recovery. After just a couple of sessions of shockwave therapy, the body’s tissues can heal completely.
