Prolotherapy Cost

Typical costs:

• Proletherapy treatments typically start at $150 but can cost more than $500 per session, depending on the area being treated and the number of injections required. At Montana Integrative Medicine^[3] in Bozeman, MT, prolotherapy treatments generally cost $175-$325. Practitioners may also charge an additional consultation fee. At Prolotherapy Nashville^[4] , in Nashville, TN, the typical cost of an office visit is $150-$250, and the cost for follow-up visits is $45-$90, in addition to the cost of the proletherapy treatments, which range from $75-$525 per session. At least four sessions are typically needed.
• Health insurers typically do not cover prolotherapy and many practitioners charge their patients on a cash fee-for-service basis.

• According to the Center for Traditional Medicine, P.C.^[5] in Lake Oswego, OR, practitioners will use an initial visit to get a patient's health history and perform a physical exam to evaluate the injury. In some cases, additional tests may be ordered.
• Treatment consists of a series of injections with an irritant that causes inflammation and triggers the body's healing response. During treatment, local anesthesia is applied, and patients may be offered a sedative to help them relax. The injection is considered mild to moderately painful, and may be sore for 3-7 days afterwards.
• Patients are encouraged to moderate their activities for 24 hours following each session, after which they can return to normal activities.

• Acetaminophen^[6] may be recommended to ease post-injection pain. However, patients will be cautioned to avoid anti-inflammatory medications, which may hinder results.

• Some prolotherapy practitioners, like Comfort Chiropractic and Wellness Center^[7] in Monterey Park, CA, use a sliding fee scale based on a patient's income to determine costs.
