Also known as regenerative injection therapy, prolotherapy is a nonsurgical method used to treat chronic ligament and tendon weakness. In prolotherapy, the weakened areas are injected with a proliferant solution that directly stimulates the growth of healthy, strong tissues, and as the tendons and ligaments grow stronger and become more capable of carrying out their tasks, the pain is alleviated.
