“Get back on your feet and out and about, in no time”
At Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine, we offer prolotherapy and prolozone to treat chronic muscle and joint pain, specifically damage in the ligaments or tendons. Prolotherapy works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to repair injured tissue.
Our physicians are among a select group of medical practitioners to provide prolotherapy in the Louisville, KY area from our clinic in Jeffersonville.
If you have chronic pain in the shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, hand, wrist, foot or ankle, prolotherapy may be the right solution for you.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that works to alleviate chronic pain by regenerating damaged musculoskeletal tissues.
It is a non-surgical procedure that has been found to re-establish function to injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, commonly found in athletes and physically active people.

How Is Prolotherapy Performed at Our Louisville, KY Clinic
Dextrose (sugar water), lidocaine (numbing medicine) and vitamins like b12 is injected into the injured or damaged site to relieve pain and remove inflammation in the painful tendon, muscle, joint, or ligament. This actually helps your body regenerate new, whole tissue.
What is the success rate of prolotherapy / prolozone?
In patients with low back pain, studies have shown a 85% to 95% of patients experience improvement with prolotherapy / prolozone (compared to studies showing a 52% improvement with back surgery).
