Prolotherapy is a technique we have been doing for almost 15 years at McDonagh Medical Center. It is a technique in which we inject an irritating substance into the ligaments every 1/4 inch along the ligament to increase the tensile strength of the ligaments in order to strengthen a joint. We have written an informative pamphlet entitled, Joint Reconstruction Therapy (our old name for Prolotherapy). If you would like to go to the pamphlet and read about prolotherapy simply click on the book.
