Prolotherapy for Neck Pain
Neck Area
Very few clinics in the world specialize in regenerative treatments for neck area and cervical spine ligament instability.
Neck pain caused by whiplash, post-concussion, and pain down the arms can be devastating for patients.
However, they may respond very well to just a few prolotherapy treatments. Our practitioners perform a series of specialized tests to determine the extend of the patient problem.
Either if you have recently been in a car accident or have been experiencing symptoms or have been struggling with neck pain for years and want to find a more curative treatment and avoid cervical fusion surgery, our practitioners can help.

Neck Degeneration with Unresolved Cervical Instability
Prolotherapy Treatment for Neck Area
Whenever the ligaments that hold the cervical spine vertebrae are damaged following a trauma, such as a whiplash or concussion, or through the slow stretching of ligaments through poor posture, pain can be created degeneration of the spine can be accelerated.

Prolotherapy is considered to be a safe and potentially effective treatment for chronic neck pain and instability and might help strengthen that have been weak and causing the pain.
The injection could encourage the body’s natural healing processes to the weakened tissues that otherwise have a poor blood supply and have stopped being able to repair on their own.
As the tissue strengthens the patient notices fewer symptoms and increased stability. Typically, a few treatments are needed to potentially restore the strength of the ligaments so the treatment may be resolved, and the patient is back to normal activities.
Once the patients understand spinal instability, it only makes sense to address all of these areas instead of only targeting a few structures.
We are used to see very complicated cases, so please do not assume all hope is lost for you, even if you have seen 10 other consultants.
You might be a more “typical” case for us than you think.
FAQs
An injury as a direct result of a recent trauma, repetitive strain injury, or poor posture can all cause neck pain. A recent trauma, for example a car accident, can give you whiplash which can leave lasting effects on the neck that need attention. Poor posture while sitting at a desk at work all day, or spending long periods of time looking down at a phone, can cause misalignments in the neck, which can lead to experiencing many of the symptoms of a neck injury.
Without knowing the underlying cause of neck pain, performing many exercises may sometimes make the condition worse. At ProBack, we always advise coming into the clinic for a full examination so we can see the full extent of your condition. Our plans usually involve an initial six to twelve sessions of treatment to improve your mobility and pain levels, before starting any exercises.
Spinal remodelling can help with a neck injury if there are misalignments in your neck. A loss of curve in the neck, due to a sudden trauma or poor posture, can mean more pressure being placed on the discs. Used daily in the corrective phases of treatment, our Denneroll can introduce changes into the spine that improve the results of treatment in the long term. By improving the position of the spine, it can be possible to improve the durability and longevity of your spine.
