Santo Domingo pain clinic, opened in 2014, offering injection treatments for long-term joint, muscle, tendon and ligament pain, including prolotherapy and platelet-rich plasma.
The Center for Prolotherapy and Pain Management, which uses the Spanish name Proloterapia Intensiva, is a medical centre in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. It was established in 2014 and describes itself as the first and only centre in the country devoted solely to the management of long-standing pain in muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints.
The centre's work is built around injection treatments rather than surgery. Its main approach is prolotherapy, in which a solution is injected into ligaments, tendons or joints. It also offers platelet-rich plasma, prepared from a sample of the patient's own blood; stem cell injections prepared from the patient's own bone marrow; and neural therapy, sometimes called neuroprolotherapy, aimed at nerve-related pain. Ultrasound scanning of muscles and joints is used alongside these procedures.
The clinic presents these treatments as an option for people with sports injuries, worn joints and pain that has continued after surgery. Three doctors are named on the site. Costs are not published, so a patient would need to contact the centre for a quotation.
The clinic works within one field, long-standing musculoskeletal pain, and the list below reflects that focus. Ask what evidence supports these injections for your specific problem.
Cells are taken from the patient's own body rather than from a donor.
