Prolotherapy: A Surgical Alternative

Last updated 1 year ago

While minimally-invasive and open surgery techniques can be used to treat chronic pain, many individuals prefer a non-invasive treatment option.

This video takes a closer look at the benefits of prolotherapy over surgery. During prolotherapy treatments, a dextrose and lidocain solution is injected to stimulate an immune response that brings cells to the injured area and helps rejuvenate the tissues. Unlike surgery, prolotherapy requires no downtime and is less expensive. Watch this full clip to see how prolotherapy can eliminate lower back pain.
