Prolotherapy injections contain platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and human growth hormone (HGH) that provide a powerful one-two punch to stimulate optimal tissue repair. For best results, most patients combine this with our unique prehab program of Vasper exercise, shockwave, and peptide therapies.

What Can Prolotherapy Help With
The spine and joints are like brick walls held together with mortar. When the mortar is not doing its job, the bricks become unstable. Your bones are held together with connective tissue called ligaments and tendons. When these tissues don’t do their job, the bones start moving in ways they shouldn’t, leading to instability and pain. Prolotherapy is a treatment that involves a series of injections to target the source of pain in connective tissues. Traditionally, prolotherapy is performed by injecting an irritant like saline or sugar to stimulate the body’s healing response. At InterveneMD, we take it one step further by instead injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and human growth hormone (HGH) to stimulate a stronger and more targeted immune response to aid in healing. When you visit InterveneMD, our experts can provide relief with prolotherapy injections in Charleston.

Direct Treatment
Prolotherapy injections are treatments that target pain caused by loose or weakened connective tissue.
Much like how the body forms a callus, the injections make the tissue stronger so your bones and joints stay properly aligned. This leads to better functioning and decreased pain.
When you visit InterveneMD, our experts can provide relief through precise prolotherapy injections in Charleston.
