PROLOTHERAPY
Prolotherapy is the use of injections in the treatment of connective tissue weakness and musculoskeletal pain. Also referred to as "reconstructive therapy" and "regenerative injection therapy", Prolotherapy is a treatment used for neck & back pain and joint pain using non steroid medications.
One of the benefits of using this procedure is that it does not involve Cortisone or Steroids usage. In experienced hands, this procedure this is a very valuable treatment for chronic skeletal and joint pain symptoms. This treatment helps to strengthen the ligaments around the joints and improves mobility while relieving pain. The Prolotherapy treatment is done by few practitioners who had the privilege to learn from experts in this field. This treatment is not usually taught in medical schools. The Prolotherapy treatment had been carried from practitioner to practitioner by proper apprenticeship methods.
At Penn Medical Services, Dr. Shan Nagendra is highly experienced in performing this procedure successfully with a record of over 20 years.
