Dr. Frey is now certified by the Naturopathic Academy of Injection Therapy to perform extremity joint prolotherapy.

Prolotherapy involves the injection of proliferants into ligaments and tendons to stimulate inflammation and the healing cascade, resulting in the deposition of new collagen onto these structures. The new collagen increases the tensile strength of ligaments and tendons, and decreases joint pain. Treatments take less than an hour to perform. Patients can expect some discomfort the day of the treatment, but most can resume normal athletic capacity within 48-72 hours. Treatments should be repeated on a monthly schedule (allowing for the healing process to occur), approximately 4-6 times.
