# Prolotherapy

Here at Alpine Natural Health, our focus is on regenerative medicine and regenerative therapy.

## What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a natural and nonsurgical approach to healing. The treatment stimulates the body to repair the painful area when the natural healing process needs some help.

Chronic pain from sprains and strains can be devastating for those who suffer. This pain is often caused by weakened connective tissue, especially where tendons or ligaments connect with bones. These sorts of injuries tend to heal poorly as blood supply is limited around joints. The resulting stretch in a ligament compromises joint stability. As the joint becomes unstable, excessive wear and tear occur in the joints - pushing the area to more susceptible to arthritis, bone spurs, muscle spasm, and pain.

## Regeneration

Prolotherapy is an injection technique that stimulates the regeneration of connective tissue. A solution of dextrose (sugar), procaine (anesthetic), B12 (nerve healing) is strategically injected into the affected tissue to create a controlled inflammation. The increased inflammation increases blood flow and nutrients to the affected joint and signals cells to strengthen ligaments and tendons. This encourages the growth of healthy cells and tissues.

### As the tissue regenerates and ligaments are reinforced, the pain is reduced and patients can enjoy long-lasting results.
