Prolotherapy
Target The Root Cause Of Your Pain
What is Prolotherapy?
Infinity Regenerative Medicine offers Prolotherapy as an alternative solution to invasive surgery for patients suffering from a wide range of degenerative conditions and painful injuries
Is Prolotherapy Right For You?
You may be a good candidate if you have:
Torn Rotator Cuffs
Osteoarthritis
Hip Labral Tears
Facet Syndrome (Back & Neck Arthritis)
Joint Instability
Severe Sprains
Chronic Tendinitis
Pain is a debilitating condition and educating the patient on their specific condition and working with the patient to locate the source of the pain and reduce it, if not completely illuminate it, is Dr. Browning’s number one objective at Infinity Regenerative Medicine.
How Does Prolotherapy Work?
Prolotherapy treatment helps strengthen and heal strained or damaged tissues by “jump starting” the body's natural repair process. Prolotherapy can help reduce or eliminate pain from degenerated and painful ligamants, tendons or joints. In addition, Prolotherapy can be effective for chronic neck and back pain.
Precise Injections to Injury
Prolotherapy employs multiple, precise injections of dextrose to the injured site and surrounding areas. These injections help to decrease downtime and painful rehabilitation associated with surgery.
Increasing Blood Flow
Prolotherapy starts a localized inflammation by removing water from the damaged cells. This causes the blood supply and nutrient flow to the area to increase, as well as attracting powerful growth factors and repair cells.
Expected Results
Research studies show that over 80 percent of people treated with prolotherapy report a good or excellent result. Many of them are permanently cured. Not only do they enjoy simple pleasures again – a good night’s sleep, sitting through a movie, taking a walk – but many also return to physical activities such as soccer, basketball, mountain biking, jogging, skiing, even horseback riding.
Patients usually fall into four recovery groups.
Group 1
The first group has 75-100% relief of their pain after the injections. This is a long-lasting or permanent improvement as well.
Group 2
A second group experiences about 50% relief of pain that lasts 6-12 months.
Group 3
The third group experiences only mild and temporary pain relief.
Group 4
The fourth group are some patients who show no improvements.
Patients in the last two groups may need a different type of treatment such as PRP or MSC Therapy with extracellular vesicles to get the relief they need.

Side Effects
There have been few reported side effects from prolotherapy. In rare cases, the worst side effect is an infection at the site of an injection. A potential infection will show through fever and pain, and it is usually easy to treat with antibiotics.
Mild Stiffness
Initially, mild but temporary swelling and stiffness may occur.
Numbness
Patients usually feel fullness, numbness and some minor pain in the areas treated with prolotherapy injections.
Mild Pain
During the first 24-72 hours after the shots your pain may return or increase for a short time, steadily decreasing over approximately 4 weeks.
