I have shoulder instability, will prolotherapy help in addition to physical therapy?

Therapeutic potentia: Prolotherapy is a viable approach to joint problems when instability and laxity are key presenting findings on physical exam.

Yes: If you had a traumatic dislocation and you are young, the success of non operative treatment is lower than someone who has instability without injury. Both however, should initially be managed with therapy.

Unclear : Prolo is a type of treatment that has some strong advocates, but i'm skeptical about its benefits in this situation and many others for which it is offered. The important thing is to understand the 'why' behind your instability and to address that directly.

Quite possibly: There is a good chance that prolotherapy will help this problem, but if possible find a practitioner who utilizes prolozone, which uses ozone as part of the treatment, which often yields better results with less discomfort.

Prolotherapy: Can help with shoulder instability but underlying cause and physical therapy should be addressed as well.
