PRP & Prolotherapy Injection Treatment In Beverly Hills, CA

Non-surgical relief from joint, tendon, and ligament pain with regenerative injections by Dr. Solomon

If you’re dealing with chronic joint pain, soft tissue injuries, or degenerative conditions, but want to avoid surgery or long-term medications, PRP and Prolotherapy offer a natural way to stimulate healing and restore function. At Solomon Aesthetic Podiatry in Beverly Hills, Dr. Solomon provides these advanced regenerative treatments with a focus on precision, safety, and long-term recovery.

What Is PRP and Prolotherapy?

Both PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Prolotherapy are regenerative injection therapies designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. They’re ideal for injuries that affect tendons, ligaments, and joints, especially those slow to heal on their own.

  • Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose-based solution into injured or weakened connective tissue to intentionally create mild inflammation. This response signals the body to begin repairing and strengthening the area.
  • PRP Therapy uses your own blood, processed to concentrate healing platelets and growth factors. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected into the injury site to accelerate tissue repair.

These treatments are safe, minimally invasive, and performed in-office without the need for general anesthesia. They are often used in combination for optimal regenerative results.

Conditions Treated with PRP and Prolotherapy

Dr. Solomon uses these regenerative techniques to treat a wide variety of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions:

  • Tendonitis and tendinosis (Achilles, peroneal, etc.)
  • Post-surgical recovery support
  • Ligament sprains and tears
  • Chronic joint instability (especially in the ankle or foot)
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Achilles tendon injuries
  • Early to moderate arthritis in the feet, ankles, and knees
  • Bunion-related joint pain
  • Degenerative joint conditions
  • Ankle instability and sports-related injuries
  • Overuse injuries from repetitive strain

Understanding Ankle Instability: A Common Yet Overlooked Issue

Did you know that once you sprain your ankle, you’re significantly more likely to sprain it again? This happens because the original injury often leaves behind weakened ligaments that fail to fully heal, resulting in chronic ankle instability. Every subsequent step places stress on an already vulnerable structure.

If left untreated, this instability can lead to degenerative joint changes, cartilage breakdown, and even early-onset osteoarthritis.

Common symptoms of ankle instability include:

  • Repeated ankle rolling or turning inward
  • Persistent ankle swelling or discoloration
  • Sharp pain with movement or weight-bearing
  • Popping, crepitation, or grinding sounds
  • Loss of ankle range of motion or strength
  • Referred pain into the foot or toes
  • Pain even when resting or off your feet

This cycle of degeneration can be prevented or reversed with Comprehensive Prolotherapy to strengthen ligaments and restore stability.

Why Choose Regenerative Injections in Beverly Hills

In a health-conscious, wellness-driven city like Beverly Hills, patients prioritize non-invasive treatments that deliver results without downtime. PRP and Prolotherapy are both part of the growing field of regenerative medicine, offering:

Key benefits:

  • Drug-free, steroid-free, and surgery-free
  • Outpatient procedure with no general anesthesia
  • Triggers the body’s natural healing response
  • Supports new collagen and tissue regeneration
  • Can treat areas with poor blood supply (e.g., ligaments, tendons)
  • May help delay or eliminate the need for surgery

These therapies align perfectly with the lifestyle of active, high-performing individuals who want to recover quickly and avoid invasive procedures.

How PRP and Prolotherapy Work

How Prolotherapy Heals

Prolotherapy works by stimulating controlled inflammation. The dextrose solution used is an irritant, but that irritation is precisely what signals the body to respond. Inflammation activates a healing cascade, increasing fibroblast activity and collagen production to rebuild and stabilize weakened tissue.

This is particularly effective for ligaments, which have poor blood flow and therefore heal slowly. By injecting the solution directly where ligaments attach to bone, Prolotherapy strengthens the supportive tissue, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility.

How PRP Enhances Regeneration

PRP is derived from your own blood. After a small blood draw, the sample is spun in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets and growth factors. These elements are powerful messengers in the body’s healing process. When injected into damaged tissue, PRP:

  • Reduces inflammation
  • Stimulates new blood vessel formation
  • Increases collagen and fibroblast activity
  • Speeds up tissue repair and regeneration

PRP is especially useful in treating chronic soft tissue injuries and areas of poor healing like tendons and fascia.

What to Expect During Treatment

All regenerative procedures are performed by Dr. Solomon himself in our Beverly Hills office.

Your PRP or Prolotherapy Visit May Include:

  1. Initial Evaluation: We begin with a detailed medical history, exam, and review of your imaging if available. This helps identify the root cause of your pain and determine whether PRP, Prolotherapy, or both are appropriate.
  2. Preparation:
  • For PRP: A small amount of your blood is drawn and processed onsite.
  • For Prolotherapy: The treatment area is marked and cleaned.
  1. Injection:
  • For PRP: Platelet-rich plasma is injected precisely into the damaged tissue.
  • For Prolotherapy: Dextrose solution is injected at the origin of the damaged tendon, ligament, or joint space.
  1. Post-Treatment Protocol: You’ll be given instructions for care, movement, and recovery. Most patients walk out of the office and resume light activities the same day.

Recovery and Aftercare Tips

While these treatments are minimally invasive, they do initiate an inflammatory response, so some aftercare is helpful to optimize healing.

Post-procedure tips:

  • Expect mild soreness or swelling for 1–3 days
  • Avoid high-impact exercise for a few days
  • Do not use NSAIDs (like Advil or Aleve), which can hinder the inflammatory healing response
  • Apply ice as needed for discomfort
  • Follow any specific movement guidelines from Dr. Solomon

Patients typically begin noticing improvement within 2–4 weeks, with continued progress over 8–12 weeks. Long-term outcomes are often excellent with fewer complications compared to surgical interventions.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?

Every condition and patient responds differently, but typical treatment plans include:

  • Prolotherapy: 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart
  • PRP: 2–4 sessions depending on severity and response

Some patients with mild conditions may respond to a single treatment. Chronic injuries or advanced degeneration may require more sessions or combined protocols. Dr. Solomon will monitor your healing and adjust accordingly.

Combined Treatment for Enhanced Healing

For patients with stubborn injuries or complex biomechanical issues, combined PRP and Prolotherapy is often the most effective approach. This method combines the inflammatory signaling of Prolotherapy with the healing boost of PRP.

The synergy between these two therapies enhances collagen remodeling, supports joint stabilization, and accelerates tissue repair. This dual strategy is ideal for athletes, active adults, or anyone looking for maximum recovery without surgery.

Who Is Not a Candidate?

While these treatments are safe for most patients, you may not be a candidate if you:

  • Are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have active infection or cancer
  • Have severe autoimmune conditions
  • Are on blood thinners that cannot be stopped
  • Have advanced joint degeneration requiring surgical intervention

A full consultation and evaluation will determine if regenerative medicine is right for you.
