How prolotherapy works
A dextrose (sugar-water) solution is injected where a ligament or tendon attaches to bone. It causes local inflammation, which increases blood supply and prompts the tissue to repair itself.
Injectable therapy to stimulate a repair response. Paired with prolotherapy.
Trusted by patients from Sydney to Narrabri
Neural therapy uses injection to stimulate a repair response in tissue that is not healing on its own. At Dr. Abbie Clinics it is used alongside prolotherapy.
It is considered for persistent problems where other treatment has not resolved the pain. Whether it is appropriate for you is decided at the assessment.
Our injection therapies include prolotherapy, short for proliferation therapy: an injection that encourages the body to grow new tissue where it has become weak.
The order we follow
Find the reason the joint or tendon is under strain.
Correct the foundation with orthotics and free up the joints.
Only then inject, so the repaired tissue is not put straight back under the same strain.

Ankles, knees and hips: joint wear, weakened ligaments and long-standing tendon problems.
It varies with how each person heals. Your practitioner will talk you through what to expect for your condition.
Neural Therapy is prescribed against a diagnosis, never against a symptom. That is what the Najjarine Biomechanical Assessment is for.
The assessment establishes the diagnosis and whether injectable therapy is a reasonable step for it.
If it is, your podiatrist will explain what is involved, including what to expect afterwards, before anything goes ahead.
As with every treatment here, it is paired with addressing the mechanical cause rather than used on its own.

That is decided case by case at the assessment rather than set in advance.

No. You can book directly. If you are on a Medicare care plan your GP will refer you, and we can bill that.
Talked me through exactly what was involved before anything went ahead. No surprises.
Persistent problem that had not responded to anything else. Glad I asked about it.
Used alongside the rest of the plan rather than on its own, which is how it was explained to me.
