Prolotherapy

At TPC, our team of physicians specialize in Prolotherapy to manage chronic joint pain and other chronic pain conditions. Prolotherapy is a non-surgical ligament and tendon reconstruction and regenerative joint injection. It is shown to be effective in reducing pain by strengthening ligaments and supporting joints.

The Cause of Chronic Pain

Prolotherapy is based on the idea that chronic pain is often caused by loose ligaments or tendons – strengthening these loose ligaments or tendons (connective tissue) will reduce pain. This is done by injecting an irritant into the space between the joint, stimulating the body’s natural healing mechanisms by creating an inflammatory response, encouraging growth of new ligament or tendons fibers. Repeating this process can be helpful in restoring the connective tissues in the joints.

    What Our Patients Say

    I have been a patient at the Toronto Poly Clinic with Dr. Kevin Rod for over 10 years. I have spent my life in and out of hospitals with numerous specialists but Dr. Rod is definitely my favorite. Dr. Rod has literally saved my life. He is excellent in his treatment and committed to his patients. The combination of injections and medication has made it possible for me to take care of my kids, my home and volunteer in my community. Dr. Rod goes above and beyond to help me cope with chronic pain to have the best quality of life. Dr. Rod is an extraordinary doctor with a heart of gold.

    This was my first visit, office was professional and quick, my name was called after only waiting 5 minutes. Dr. Rod made me feel very comfortable and he is very professional, friendly (especially for a nervous patient like myself) and helpful. He gave me options and did a procedure right away (chatting with me to distract me) and I didn’t have to rebook. Definitely would go back and see him again, anytime that I need to and I have great confidence in his abilities. Don’t think you could find anyone better!

    I am so grateful for this clinic, especially for Dr. Dao. I came with the worst back pain and I lost all hope that I would ever feel better. Dr. Dao is a very friendly and helpful doctor, he has helped me with my physical pains and has helped me feel better mentally. He is very supportive and considerate of my complaints. He sent me to many specialist who he thought can help me with my problems. I still go to this clinic and highly recommend it to everyone. I wish all the best to Dr. Dao and all the staff in this clinic.

    When I came here I almost lost hope and happiness with my pain. But, after I met Dr. Ashtarani who is awesome, friendly, a wonderful listener, my life’s totally changed. I can go back to work and gradually I can fight with my pain.
    It brings me happiness and hope again.
    Thank you Dr. Ashtarani.

    I've been going to this clinic since October this year and have nothing but great things to say about the doctors and staff. The nurses and staff are kind and helpful and Dr. Sandhu is compassionate and has tried everything to help me manage my pain. I still have a long way to go but this is the best care I've received in Toronto to date.

    My Aunt has been a patient with Dr. Wan for more than two decades. He's understands his patient and demonstrates genuine empathy. He listens carefully, asks in-depth questions. He issues tests and actively engages to explain results. His office is professional. He "is a busy physician" but that doesn't waiver from the genuine care my Aunt receives which has been consistent throughout all these years. Even during the COVID shutdown, Dr. Wan and his office have been able to make proper, safe arrangements to provide care and treatment when required.
