prolotherapy is an injection-based treatment method used to alleviate pain, particularly musculoskeletal pain associated with chronic ligament and tendon injuries. The process involves the injection of a solution, typically containing dextrose (a sugar), saline, or other irritants, into the affected tissues. Prolotherapy is believed to stimulate healing by causing a mild inflammatory response that promotes the regeneration of ligaments, tendons, and other connective tissues. This review explores the existing literature on the therapeutic effects of prolotherapy for pain management.
