Prolotherapy at Bishop Massage and Wellness

Targeted Regenerative Injection Therapy for Joint & Ligament Healing

Prolotherapy at Bishop Massage and Wellness, administered by our naturopathic doctor, is a non-surgical treatment designed to support healing of connective tissues by stimulating the body’s regenerative response through mild inflammatory injections.

Focused exclusively on non-axial joints (i.e., joints outside the spine), our ND offers targeted treatment to knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, and hips. This service is described under “Naturopathic Medicine – ProloTherapy” on our booking platform.

How Prolotherapy Works

A solution—often dextrose, combined with local anesthetic—is injected into weakened ligaments, tendons, or joint margins.

This intentional mild inflammation encourages your body to produce collagen and strengthen unstable or injured connective tissue.

Conditions We Commonly Address

Used primarily in non-spinal areas, prolotherapy may be appropriate for:

Your Appointment Journey

1. Consultation

Your ND will evaluate your condition, joint health, and medical history to confirm suitability for prolotherapy.

2. Treatment Session

Using sterile technique, controlled injections are administered to the targeted non-axial joint structures.

3. Recovery and Series Planning

Expect mild localized soreness or swelling post-treatment. Healing is cumulative; optimal results often occur over several sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
