Prolotherapy

Proliferation Injection Therapy or Prolotherapy injection is the injection procedure used to stimulate natural healing. Prolotherapy injections (a mixture of dextrose, saline, and anesthetic) are placed into the targeted damaged tissue areas and promote a “proliferative” response by encouraging the body’s immune system to flood into the area and trigger the natural healing cascade.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment

Tendons connect muscles to bones and make it possible to do all kinds of physical activities. Overuse or damage to tendons over a long period of time causes the collagen fibers that make up the tendons to form small tears, a condition called tendinosis.

Real reviews from real patients.

I found out I tore my Meniscus and damaged my ACL but did not feel comfortable doing surgery. I was referred to Dr. Derrington by my PT. I got the Prp shot in December 2021. I followed directions post procedure and I am glad to say that I have returned to soccer, Ultra training and workouts! I highly recommend to consider a PRP shot instead of just defaulting to surgery. Very happy with my decision!

I had prp and bone marrow injections into my hip one year ago. I already had 1 hip replacement and wanted to go the natural route this time. I'm 68 years old and am pleased to say I have completely recovered, without pain, and am back to cross fit. I'm so pleased with these results.

I've had pain for several years from damage to my elbow due to racquetball. Doctors tried multiple steroid injections as well PRP. Learned to play left-handed which kept me on the court. Then last year my physical therapist recommended Dr Derrington as he had successfully treated the PT. Dr Derrington performed his version of a PRP injection and after a healing period I was finally able to use my right arm again with no pain at full power, and it's been almost a year!

Dr. Derrington and his staff are amazing!! I went there for my wrist as I was unable to do all normal activities without pain. I had PRP treatment and noticed a significant improvement within the first couple weeks. It’s been a couple months now and I no longer wear a brace and am able to almost everything I could do before I started having issues and am excited to be able to be normal again!! Highly recommend Dr. D and his team!!!

Our daughter is in the middle of her senior year XC season, and dealing with bursitis. We came to Dr. Derrington after following PT protocol and she needed something more. We were anxious about getting a cortisone shot because of the long term side effects. Dr. Derrington and his staff were professional and friendly. He evaluated my daughter's condition and suggested nano dose cortisone. She felt great the next day and returned to running the following day. I loved that Dr. Derrington suggested supplements as an alternative to NSAIDS.
