Prolotherapy at TRIDENT is a regenerative injection service designed to support healing in chronically irritated or weakened connective tissue. It is often used for ligament laxity, tendon pain, and selected joint-related issues where structural support and long-term tissue response matter. For patients seeking a lower-cost regenerative pathway that still emphasizes healing and stability, prolotherapy offers a purposeful option.

What it does:

Hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy is a regenerative injection treatment in which a concentrated dextrose solution is injected into weakened connective tissue to create a controlled inflammatory response that may stimulate healing and improve tissue stability over time. It is commonly used for chronic musculoskeletal pain, ligament laxity, tendon injuries, and some degenerative joint complaints.

​

Good candidates:

Patients with chronic tendon pain, ligament instability, recurrent sprains/strains, joint pain tied to laxity, or persistent musculoskeletal discomfort after conservative care may be candidates. It is often considered when structural support and long-term tissue response matter more than fast but temporary relief.

​

Why it may be a good choice:

Compared with PRP, prolotherapy is often less expensive, faster to perform, and does not require a blood draw. It can be attractive for patients who need a lower-cost regenerative option and are willing to complete a treatment series.
