Achilles Tendinopathy, a condition marked by pain and degeneration in the Achilles tendon, is especially common in adults over 40. As we age, the risk for this injury rises due to natural degenerative changes, decreased blood supply to the tendon, and more wear-and-tear from years of activity.

Prolotherapy Injection for Plantar Fasciitis: What You Need to Know 💉💉💉

What is Plantar Fasciitis? 🦶🦶🦶

Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, resulting from thickening and small degenerative tears of the plantar fascia. It often leads to pain in the heel and arch, especially with your first steps in the morning.

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection therapy designed to help heal chronic injuries like plantar fasciitis. It involves injecting a natural solution—usually a concentrated glucose (sugar) solution—directly into the affected area of your foot. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response by causing a mild, controlled inflammation, which encourages the growth of new, healthy tissue and strengthens the plantar fascia.

How Does It Work?

The injection triggers a healing response, increasing blood flow and bringing healing cells to the area.
This process helps repair and reinforce the plantar fascia, reducing pain and improving foot function over time.
Most patients notice a gradual decrease in pain and a return to normal activities after a series of treatments.
What Are the Benefits?

Pain Relief: Many people experience significant pain reduction, often after other treatments have failed.
Improved Healing: Prolotherapy can accelerate tissue repair and provide a long-term solution, not just a temporary fix.
Non-Surgical: It’s a minimally invasive option, with fewer risks and a quicker recovery compared to surgery.
Enhanced Function: Strengthening the plantar fascia can improve your foot’s function and help prevent future injuries.
Is It Safe?

Prolotherapy is generally considered safe, with the most common side effects being mild pain or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolves within a few days
What Does the Research Say?

Studies show prolotherapy is effective in reducing pain and improving foot function, especially for chronic cases that haven’t responded to other treatments
Its benefits can last at least six months, and it may offer better long-term results than corticosteroid injections.
