Prototherapy 

Ultrasound Prototherapy is a harmless, non-surgical treatment for chronic pain using targeted infiltrations to stimulate healing. Webster's dictionary defines Prototherapy as "the rehabilitation of an incompetent structure, such as ligaments or tendons."

Pain from auto accidents, athletic injuries, and overuse often arises from injuries to the soft tissues in the body. These soft tissues, including ligaments, muscles, tendons and joint capsules, are called "connective tissues" because they connect to bones, thereby supporting the bony skeleton. Ultrasound Prototherapy causes these connections to be repaired, rebuilt and strengthened. Ultrasound Prototherapy has also been called ligament reconstructive therapy or stimulated ligament repair.

How is Prototherapy Performed
Prototherapy is an infilrations or series of infiltrations (often containing a sugar solution, which is an irritant) into the affected ligament or tendon where it binds itself to bone to cause irritation and trigger local inflammation, that is believed to promote repair and the growth of new healthy, dense, fibrous tissue.

While prototherapy most commonly used for chronic low back pain, prototherapy is also used to treat shoulder pain, knee pain, and hip pain, etc.where it is believed that lax ligaments or tendons may be causing or contributing to the pain. Back conditions treated with prototherapy include spinal osteoarthritis, sciatica, herniated discs, whiplash, and fibromyalgia.
