Neural Prolotherapy
What It Does
Neural prolotherapy does not target tendons, ligaments or joints, but instead treats nerves and muscles associated with areas of pain. Other treatments such as PRP, acupuncture, trigger point injections, and biological and nutritional therapies are also used as required. Each patient is unique and the best treatment should be used at each stage of the healing process.
What to Expect
After Treatment
After seeing dramatic results many people wonder how after only a few treatments it can cause such a significant and often immediate decline in pain.

Prolotherapy
What It Does
At Quartz our Prolotherapy treatment protocols vary with each patient based on their individual needs, immune status and severity of injury. Prolotherapy is an alternative nonsurgical regenerative injection therapy that may help repair body tissues. The injection therapy is used to stimulate healing of injured tendons, ligaments and joints.
How It Works
Optimal nutrition, supplementation, stress management, adequate sleep, and physical health are all factors that influence healing. Our Naturopathic Doctor will help guide you through this process to optimise your response to prolotherapy. Your doctor may include testing methods to evaluate whether you are a good candidate for prolotherapy. You may be required to do a series of regenerative IV Drips to prepare for a successful treatment.

What It Does

What It Does
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been advocated for healing and regeneration.
How It Works
The increased levels of growth factors and proteins provided by the PRP may enhance the wound healing process. Therapeutically, in areas of tissue damage, such as strained ligamentous, tendinous tissue and cartilage, it can prove beneficial in enhancing the rate of healing.
Benefits
- Ligament sprains/strains (eg. ACL, PCL, AC joint etc)
- Muscle tears
- Post-surgery tissue healing and scar reduction
- Tendon injuries (tendonitis, tendonosis, rupture)
- Rectus abdominis tears – postpartum
What to Expect
During Treatment
Your blood will be drawn, then placed in a centrifuge which spins the blood very quickly to separate and then collect the Plasma. The Plasma is then injected into the area of concern.
After Treatment
Pain can worsen for up to 3 days post treatment.
Recommended Sessions
3 initial sessions
Ongoing maintenance is required
