How prolotherapy heals
A mild dextrose-based solution is injected at precise ligament and tendon attachment points. This creates a brief, localized healing response: the body lays down new collagen, thickening and tightening the structure over several weeks. Stronger ligaments mean stabler joints — and stabler joints stop hurting.
Dr. Lioce often layers tools by tissue: prolotherapy for the loose ligaments, PRP where tendon tissue is degenerated, Prolozone for pain and inflammation, and A2M therapy where cartilage needs protection.
Typical course of treatment
- Evaluation and exam-based injection map
- 3–6 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart
- Progressive strengthening between sessions
- Re-examination to confirm stability gains
