Why does Prolotherapy work?
The theory behind Prolotherapy is that chronic soft tissue pain is the result of tears in the tissue, especially where it attaches to the bone. The periosteum is very pain-sensitive tis¬sue, so weakened tissues and unresolved tears or sprains continue to produce significant pain. The solution used in prolotherapy produces an inflammatory response, which is followed by formation of new blood vessels and increases in collagen structure. The result is stronger tissue and reduced pain.
