Non-surgical joint pain relief
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, short for proliferative therapy, is a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. By injecting a natural irritant—often a dextrose solution—into damaged or weakened areas, prolotherapy works to kickstart tissue regeneration and relieve chronic pain without the need for invasive procedures.
At Stem Cell of NJ, we specialize in advanced regenerative medicine treatments like prolotherapy to help our patients regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to the activities they love—without surgery.
The Science Behind Prolotherapy
The basic principle of prolotherapy is to stimulate a mild, controlled inflammation at the injury site. This inflammation signals the body to:
Increase blood flow
Send healing cells (fibroblasts, growth factors)
Strengthen connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons
Unlike steroid injections that merely mask pain, prolotherapy addresses the root cause by repairing and strengthening the tissue. The result? A more stable and pain-free joint or area.
Conditions Treated with Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal issues, including:
Chronic joint pain (knees, shoulders, hips, ankles)
Lower back pain
Tendon and ligament injuries
Osteoarthritis
Whiplash and neck injuries
Sports injuries
Patients at Stem Cell of NJ often seek prolotherapy when traditional approaches like physical therapy, rest, or anti-inflammatory medications have not delivered long-term relief.
How Is the Procedure Performed?
A typical prolotherapy session at Stem Cell of NJ involves the following steps:
- Assessment – We begin with a thorough evaluation of your pain and injury.
- Injection – Using ultrasound guidance when needed, we inject a small amount of solution directly into the damaged area.
- Healing Response – The solution causes mild inflammation, stimulating your body’s repair mechanisms.
Each session takes less than 30 minutes, and while several sessions may be needed, many patients start to feel improvement after just a few treatments.
Why Choose Prolotherapy Over Surgery?
Surgery is often seen as a last resort for chronic pain, but it comes with high risks, longer recovery time, and potential complications. Prolotherapy offers a safer, more natural alternative, especially for:
Active individuals looking to stay mobile
Older adults who are not ideal surgical candidates
Those seeking holistic, regenerative care
At Stem Cell of NJ, we believe in healing from within, harnessing your body’s potential to recover on its own.
The Benefits of Prolotherapy
Patients who undergo prolotherapy often experience:
✅ Reduced or eliminated pain
✅ Improved joint stability
✅ Increased mobility and range of motion
✅ Faster recovery compared to surgery
✅ Lower risk of complications
And because the solution is typically made from dextrose—a sugar naturally found in the body—it’s low-risk and well-tolerated.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
You may be a candidate for prolotherapy if you have:
Chronic joint or back pain
Recurrent sports injuries
Joint instability or lax ligaments
