Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting a solution to stimulate the healing and strengthening of injured joints, ligaments, and tendons.

At Elite Medical Fitness, Dr. James Robles offers Prolotherapy, a non-surgical treatment designed to promote the healing of injured joints, ligaments, and tendons. By injecting a natural solution into the affected areas, Dr. Robles stimulates the body’s own healing response, encouraging the growth of new, stronger tissue. This minimally invasive procedure is particularly effective for chronic discomfort conditions like joint instability, ligament sprains, and tendon injuries, providing patients with a safe alternative to surgery.

Dr. Robles’s personalized approach to Prolotherapy ensures that each patient’s treatment plan is tailored to their specific needs. With years of experience in regenerative medicine, he carefully assesses the root cause of discomfort and targets treatment to the precise location of injury. Patients often experience improved stability, reduced discomfort, and enhanced mobility over time. Dr. Robles’s commitment to excellence and compassionate care makes Elite Medical Fitness a trusted choice for those seeking natural, long-term solutions to their chronic discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some Frequently Asked Questions about prolotherapy with answers from our certified physician. This list is intended to be a helpful reference only. For more information about prolotherapy, consult your physician or contact Elite Medical Fitness at (956) 854-4483.

Prolotherapy works by injecting a natural solution, usually containing dextrose, into the injured area. This injection triggers a mild inflammatory response, stimulating the body's natural healing process and promoting the growth of new, stronger tissue in joints, ligaments, and tendons.
Prolotherapy is effective for treating chronic joint pain, ligament and tendon injuries, joint instability, osteoarthritis, and lower back pain. It is also used to address sports injuries and certain types of musculoskeletal pain.
The number of Prolotherapy sessions varies based on the severity of the injury and individual patient response. While some patients notice improvement after just one session, most benefit from a series of treatments, typically ranging from three to six sessions, spaced several weeks apart. Dr. Robles will evaluate your progress and tailor the treatment plan accordingly.
