Prolotherapy is an injection technique that is designed to stimulate healing in injured parts of your body that may be slow to heal or may not have healed completely. It is used to treat sprained ligaments, strained tendons and damaged cartilage. This means that it can be applied to chronic heel pain (Plantar Fasciitis sometimes called Heel Spur Syndrome), Sprained Ankles, Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints), Achilles Tendon Strains and Tendinopathies (a chronic degeneration of the tendon). Prolotherapy can also reduce inflammation in painful Bursae and Neuromas in the foot.

Prolotherapy can also reduce inflammation in painful Bursae and Neuromas in the foot.
Only very small amounts of solution are injected into the damaged tissue, so the only pain is the very small needle prick.
Depending on where your injection is, there may be some advice regarding what to do immediately after your prolotherapy. Your podiatrists will advise you on this on the day.
Your experienced therapist will provide you with hands on specialised treatment for the full half hour session in your own room.
