Prolotherapy in Calgary, Alberta
Prolotherapy at Elevate in Calgary
An injection based approach for joint, ligament and tendon pain that keeps coming back. Our clinic is in NE Calgary, just off Deerfoot Trail, and easy to reach from the airport, central Calgary and Airdrie.
What is prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy. A practitioner places a small amount of a solution at specific sites around an irritated joint, ligament or tendon. The goal is to support the body's own repair response in areas that have been slow to settle.
At Elevate, prolotherapy is one part of a wider functional health approach. Your practitioner looks at how you move, what has already been tried, and what else may be contributing to your pain before recommending a plan.
Who people consider it for
Many people look into prolotherapy when pain has lasted longer than expected or keeps returning after rest, medication or other treatment. Whether it is the right fit is something your practitioner will assess with you.
What to expect at your visit
1. Assessment
We review your history, examine the painful area and talk through your goals and any concerns.
2. Treatment
If prolotherapy is appropriate, your practitioner explains the process and performs the injections at the targeted sites.
3. Follow up
You leave with aftercare guidance and a plan for next steps, including movement and rehab support where it helps.
