About Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy procedures use irritants that trigger an immune response to stimulate the healing of acute or chronic injuries. Prolotherapy consists of an injection of dextrose (a sugar) and saline.
Prolotherapy is helpful for many orthopedic applications but is especially useful for sacroiliac joint dysfunction and sacroiliac joint hypermobility.
The procedure is relatively short, lasting about 10-20 minutes. Dr. Glowney or Dr. Rudolph may inject the patient with numbing medication before injecting them with prolotherapy. The doctor will typically use an ultrasound machine for visual guidance, however sometimes fluoroscopy is necessary for better visualization.
