Prolotherapy in Asheville, NC
Non-Surgical Joint & Soft Tissue Support
Prolotherapy is an injection-based therapy used to support joint stability and overall musculoskeletal function. It is commonly used in clinical settings for individuals experiencing chronic joint discomfort, ligament laxity, or soft tissue strain.
At InVigorate Asheville, prolotherapy is offered as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised approach to support mobility, function, and overall wellness.
What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution—most commonly a dextrose-based solution—into targeted areas such as ligaments, tendons, or joints.
This approach is designed to support the body’s natural response processes in areas that may be weakened or stressed over time.
Prolotherapy is typically performed in a series of treatments, depending on individual goals and the area being addressed.

What to Expect

Impressive!!!! (I used to fly to the west coast for the same treatments ) I signed up for the Ozone/UV therapy and the Texil Facial. Being a cyclist, I expose my skin to sun. I have had laser treatments done on my face in the past and this Texil Facial that Dr. Dula offers supersedes them all. Texil is so much more affordable as well. It has been 9 days since my Texil Facial and my skin looks SPECTACULAR!!! I am so HAPPY!!Posted on Brent SteeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had food poisoning before went to ER. Waited 10 hours for a bag of fluids and was sent home. This time I visited Dr. Dula. Everyone there was so kind and understanding.
