What is prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy involves precise injections used as part of conservative musculoskeletal care to encourage a controlled healing-oriented tissue response in selected regions.
Planning is individualised and positioned alongside exercise, activity pacing and other medical advice—not as a universal substitute for diagnosis-led treatment.
What is prolotherapy?
For the answer, to Specialist Physician Dr. Okan Oktay Mengeş.
When might prolotherapy be considered?
Regional chronic soft-tissue pain, certain peri-articular complaints and situations needing additional connective-tissue support may be discussed after examination.
Eligibility always follows clinical review; we prioritise realistic goals rather than guaranteed outcomes.
How does the procedure unfold?
We review symptom mapping, prior imaging or consultations, medications and your activity demands.
Under sterile conditions the planned vectors are treated with controlled technique; total time depends on how many sites are addressed.
Recovery after prolotherapy
Mild soreness, tenderness or local fullness near injection sites is common early on and usually settles within several days.
Cool packs and temporary activity modification help; intense training or prolonged standing loads may be paused briefly.
Follow-up visits track comfort and function so the plan can be refined.
How many sessions are typical?
Session count and spacing depend on chronicity, tissue response and your therapeutic targets.
Many pathways use a short series with reviews between visits; benefit versus burden is reassessed each step.
Who may be suitable?
Patients with coherent conservative goals, willingness to follow guidance and no acute contraindications may qualify after assessment.
Active infection, unstable systemic illness or injection-specific cautions may mean postponement or alternative care.
What should you watch after treatment?
Use analgesics only as directed; never stop anticoagulants or prescription drugs without medical coordination.
Avoid rubbing treated spots unnecessarily; gentle permitted movement can aid comfort.
