What Exactly Is Regeneration Injection Therapy?

Regenerative injection therapy, also known as prolotherapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that involves the injection of anesthetic to speed up your body’s natural healing processes. It repairs tendons and ligaments damaged through injury or overuse. Dr. Enrique Umpierre-Schuck is a doctor at Central Florida Pain & Rehab Clinic in Winter Park, FL. He specializes in regenerative injection therapy.

How Regenerative Injection Therapy Works

Regenerative injection therapy works by stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms, triggering the production of new tissue in a ligament or tendon that has been damaged. Dr. Umpierre will inject a combination of saline or dextrose and anesthetic into the area. The solution suits your specific needs. The injection increases the circulation of blood to the affected area, stimulating the release of regenerative growth factors and removing waste substances.
