Prolotherapy: Natural Pain Management and Healing
Optimize Your Recovery with Prolotherapy Techniques
Muscle and joint pain often develops when inflammation from an injury subsides before the area has completely recovered. The damaged connective tissue doesn’t heal properly, resulting in loss of function, reduced range of motion, and pain.
Prolotherapy is an innovative form of regenerative injection therapy that triggers the body to resume healing and complete the process of recovery more effectively and thoroughly. By injecting a mild irritant to stimulate an inflammatory response, prolotherapy “tricks” the body into resuming the collagen production and cellular recruitment necessary to create new, healthier tissue, making it an ideal therapy for helping with old, unhealed injuries as well as acute and chronic pain.
You shouldn’t settle for traditional options if they aren’t working, and with prolotherapy from Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center in Waterford Lakes Orlando, you don’t have to. At Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center, we take a comprehensive approach to care that helps your body work better from the inside out. By concentrating on the root of your pain instead of simply the symptoms, our advanced care options can improve your condition at the cellular level for longer-lasting pain relief and a better quality of life.

Prolotherapy for Better Pain Management
Prolotherapy is a natural, non-invasive, and non-surgical method for helping pain. Similar to other regenerative injection therapies, prolotherapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing process to relieve pain, repair damaged tissue, and improve function. There are a few aspects of prolotherapy, however, that set it apart and make it ideal for certain patients.
While PRP uses plasma, prolotherapy involves injecting a mild irritant such as a dextrose or saline solution into the area of pain or soreness, which means no requirement for a blood draw. After recognizing the solution as an irritant, the body is prompted to send cells to the area to start repairing the soft tissue in the affected joint or muscle, including the nerves, blood vessels, and muscle tissue.
In addition to repairing damaged tissue, the irritant solution used in prolotherapy “tricks” the body into producing more collagen, increasing the stability of the joint and restoring strength, function, and elasticity to the ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and other connective tissue. The result is better joint function, increased range of motion, and stronger tissue.
Prolotherapy offers an array of additional advantages and benefits for pain management and relief, including:
- Short recovery times
- Lower cost than other therapies
- Reduced or no reliance on pain medication
- Reduced pain and stiffness
- Longer-lasting pain relief than typical steroid injections
- Minimal side effects, if any
- Can be complemented by other modalities
Prolotherapy is highly effective for ligament and tendon injuries. Whether in conjunction with other regenerative care methods from Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center or as a standalone option, prolotherapy can used to help or manage:
- Old, unhealed injuries
- Arthritis
- Acute and chronic pain in the back, hips, knees, shoulders, joints, and ligaments
- Fibromyalgia
- Tendinopathy
- Degenerative disk disease
- Sprains and strains
- Certain types of headaches
- Lax or unstable joints
After a prolotherapy injection, the tendons and ligaments supporting the joints thicken and strengthen, relieving pressure from the bones of the joint, improving joint function, and reducing pain in the joint, ligament, and tendon. Moreover, strong joints lower your risk for falls and injuries.
The Importance of the Right Provider for Your Prolotherapy
For maximum safety and efficacy, it’s critical to seek prolotherapy therapy from highly trained medically licensed practitioners like those at Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center, who have years of experience in regenerative injection therapies.

As such, they are better able to assess and diagnose your condition more accurately and supervise your therapy plan more critically for optimal outcomes.
Regenerative medicine specialists like those at Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center also have extensive hands-on experience in safe and effective injection protocols, as well as in-depth knowledge on the scientific basis, indications, contraindications, and potential side effects of various therapies, enabling them to provide better post-care, guidance, and monitoring in a medical setting for the best and safest results possible.

The Prolotherapy Procedure at Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical outpatient procedure that takes about 30 minutes and can be performed right here in the offices at Affinity Regen Med & Wellness Center. The area is numbed with a local anesthetic, then injected with a safe, natural proliferative agent, such as a solution mix of dextrose (sugar), saline (salt water), and lidocaine (a numbing medication).
For optimal results, most patients require 4-15 injections over six to eight sessions, although some may require more or less depending on their unique condition. Side effects are minimal and typically subside within a few days, with the majority of prolotherapy patients returning to work and regular activities on the same day.

Meet Dr. Brent Baldasare
In 1993, Dr. Baldasare was a private college All-American and the captain of the Ursinus College football team. In the last game of his senior year, he sustained a paralyzing lower back injury that left him unable to walk. He was told by the team’s orthopedic doctor that he would need surgery and would most likely never be active again. At the request of his trainer, he sought the help of a chiropractor. After eight months of intense treatment, he began to regain full use of his legs. His injury ignited something deep within to learn everything he could about improving human performance and accelerate body transformation.
Brent holds a B.S. in Human Performance from Ursinus College (graduating at the top of his class,) post-graduate nutrition training at Cornell University, advanced training in Human Needs Psychology from the Center for Strategic Intervention, and a Doctorate from Life University School of Chiropractic (again graduating at the top of his class.) He is a member of the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, American Chiropractic Association and Psychology Today.
He is also the author of several best selling books, including: The Nutrition Cure, 60 Days To A New You, The Chiropractic Care Guide and The Great American Food Fight.
