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.
Questions Remain. It is important to emphasize that the studies by Dr. Rabago and others are preliminary, and more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness and long-term safety of prolotherapy for knee OA.
