Prolotherapy for Joint Pain in Murray, Utah

- Setting
- Outpatient, no general anaesthetic
- Performed by
- A physician
Who prolotherapy tends to suit
Ligament and tendon pain
Where the tissue is irritated or lax rather than torn through.
Joints that feel unstable
Knees, ankles, shoulders, and low back that give way or feel unreliable.
Pain that returns after cortisone
Where the goal is to support the tissue rather than quiet it temporarily.
People trying to avoid surgery
Or who are not candidates for it.
When this may not be the right fit
- Complete tendon or ligament ruptures, and significant structural damage, usually need a different approach.
- If you have an active infection, or are on blood thinners, tell us before booking — it changes what is appropriate.
What the treatment involves
- 1
Examination
We locate exactly which structures are involved before anything is injected.
- 2
The injection
A solution is placed at the affected ligament or tendon attachments.
- 3
Short recovery
Most people walk out and return to normal activity, with guidance on what to avoid.
- 4
A planned series
Prolotherapy works over several sessions spaced weeks apart, not in one visit.
Who performs it
Every prolotherapy injection here is placed by a physician who does this work regularly, not by a technician. Dr. Eliason has spent much of his career on regenerative injection techniques and on helping patients reduce their reliance on pain medication.

Cost and insurance
Prolotherapy is often not covered by insurance, though it varies by plan and by the joint being treated. Because it is a series rather than a single injection, we will explain the cost of the whole course before you start.
