(“Proliferation Injection Therapy”) takes its name from the increase in healthy tissue that develops after the injection. This increased tissue strength is beneficial in healing tissue tears, like ligaments as well as loose tissue, like lax shoulder capsule. The main active ingredient in the injection is Morrhuate Sodium (MS). MS solution, by way of osmotic attraction, brings a natural healing response.
By strengthening weakened connective tissue we can often alleviate musculoskeletal pain, and improve function and mobility.
Studies have shown that proliferation injections provide benefit for people with chronic pain, as well as those with sports injuries.
These injections are often used as an alternative to invasive arthroscopic surgery.
Patients should be off medicine like ibuprofen, Advil, naprosyn for 1 week before treatment, baby aspirin 81mg is ok to take.
After an injection you will rest for 2 days and start or restart a physical therapy program.
Proliferation injections can be done on any region in the body that has ligaments or capsule, some examples. Shoulder, hip, knee, foot, elbow, and spine.
