Stimulate Your Body’s Natural Healing Without Surgery
If you’ve been living with chronic joint or tendon pain, and nothing seems to work long-term prolotherapy may be the natural solution you’ve been looking for.
At IROSM in Fort Lauderdale, we help patients like you repair damaged tissues and restore pain-free movement through safe, proven regenerative techniques.
Led by trusted specialist Dr. Michael Erdman, we offer prolotherapy as part of our non-surgical approach to orthopedic and pain management care.
What Is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy (short for “proliferation therapy”) is a non-surgical injection treatment that helps your body repair soft tissue injuries including ligaments, tendons, and joints.
We use an all-natural solution (usually dextrose) that’s injected into the painful area. This triggers a controlled healing response, which can lead to:
- Stronger ligaments and tendons
- Reduced inflammation
- Long-term pain relief
- Better joint stability and function
It’s a safe, in-office procedure with no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
Who Can Benefit From Prolotherapy?
We may recommend prolotherapy if you have:
- Chronic joint pain (knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist)
- Tendon or ligament injuries that haven’t fully healed
- Lower back pain or neck pain from instability
- Arthritis pain made worse by weak connective tissues
- Sports injuries or repetitive strain injuries
If you’ve tried medications, rest, or physical therapy and still aren’t getting relief ,this could be the missing piece in your recovery plan.
Why Choose IROSM for Prolotherapy?
At IROSM, you’re not just getting an injection. You’re getting expert care from a team that treats the whole you, not just the pain.
What to Expect During Your Visit

Step 2: Guided Injection
If you’re a candidate, Dr. Erdman will use ultrasound imaging to precisely inject the solution into the affected area.
Step 3: Follow-Up & Recovery
You may need 2–4 sessions for full effect. There’s little to no downtime, and most patients return to work the same day.
