Prolo Therapy
Prolo-Therapy is one key to stimulate the growth and repair of collagen, ligaments and connective tissue. The technique requires small injections of prolo-therapy solution at the site of pain and injury, to stimulate the animals own natural healing mechanism. The goal is to rebuild and repair injured connective tissues.
Prolo-therapy is a simple injection of dextrose and a local anesthetic. The dextrose starts a micro-inflammatory process in the body, at the point of injection. Inflammation kicks up the immune system and the immune system brings up fibroblasts (small cells that produce collagen) Where ever the small needle is placed and it solution injected, collagen growth is stimulated.
