What Is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is an injection procedure that has been around (in its current form) for at least 70 years. It is most often a compounded solution consisting of dextrose, saline, and local anaesthetic (procaine/lidocaine) that can provide a neuromodulatory pain relieving effect in the shorter term (often 1-3 treatments) and a proliferative response over time (3-6 treatments) that encourages collagen synthesis at the treated areas that supports increased strength and durability of the injured tissue.

How Prolotherapy Injections Work

Prolotherapy injections are administered with precision into specific areas in/around joints and injured tissues.

Typically several injections are given per treatment and treatments are often spaced 2-4 weeks apart. With 13+ years of experience, Dr Atkins has seen the procedure to be typically well-tolerated, safe, and effective for a variety of musculoskeletal disorders.

Any post-treatment aggravation is usually minor, self-limited, and similar to those of other injections - such as mild pain or stiffness and localised swelling and minor bruising in the treated areas.

Hands down on my best Physio experience. Fixed many long lasting problems here with very few visits, especially with Matt, bro was able to loosen my shoulders like they’ve never been relaxed my entire life. I kept moving them around after the session for the rest of the day because I have not felt them move like this for a very long time.read more

I am so glad that I started seeing Mary at this clinic. Prior to beginning treatment here I had pain between my neck and shoulder for over three years. I had seen several other medical practitioners for this specific issue with minimal success. I experienced immense pain relief after my first treatment with Mary. I have only good things to say about this place.read more

Seriously... getting treatment from Mary Wong Colebrook felt like a miracle. I've had physio, massage, naturopathy, accupuncture, you name it, from many awesome practitioners for various issues over the years and can honestly say I had hands down the best treatment I've ever had. Mary identified the issue almost within seconds and the treatment plan had me go from barely able to walk to being back in motion again in no time at all. Customer service is slso excellent here ... great front desk staff!read more
