What is Prolotherapy? Prolotherapy is injection of an irritant solution (often a form of sugar called dextrose) into joints, ligaments, and tendons. A typical treatment program involves 15 to 20 shots given monthly for three to four months, followed by occasional, as-needed shots.
Only 3 knees of the 69 knees in our study were later recommended for surgery by an orthopedist. The length of time from last prolotherapy was also notable with an average length of time of 14.7months (range, 6 months to 8 years).The limitations of our study include the limited number of patients.fter prolotherapy there was a substantial increase in the number of knees reported to have no pain or little pain upon activity from 22 knees (31.9%) to 67 knees (97.1%). A decrease in the number of knees experiencing moderate pain was also observed from 24 knees (34.8%) to 4 knees (5.8%).
