Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections have become an established treatment option for managing joint pain, particularly in osteoarthritis. Understanding how HA works, the conditions it best treats, who should consider it, and the associated risks can help patients make informed decisions about this therapy.
Prolotherapy has been gaining attention in recent years as a treatment option for chronic musculoskeletal pain and joint instability. It is a regenerative injection therapy that stimulates healing by triggering the body’s inflammatory and repair processes. Understanding how prolotherapy works, which conditions it treats best, who makes a good candidate, and potential risks can help clarify its role in pain management.
As a naturopath, I always look for the most natural options for treatment. Sometimes this is looking at overall diet and lifestyle changes that can modify inflammation in the body. Sometimes this is looking at regenerative injections like prolotherapy or platelet-rich plasma. And other times, corticosteroids are the best option.
