Why there isn't one flat price
Prolotherapy is typically done as a short series of visits rather than a single injection, so the total cost depends on how many sessions your ligaments or tendons actually need and how much area is being treated. Because Dr. Hric performs every treatment personally and tailors the plan to your specific injury, the fee reflects your real course of care instead of a one-size-fits-all package.
In keeping with our Conservative First approach, Dr. Hric will give you an honest estimate of how many visits your situation is likely to need before you commit — and if he doesn't think prolotherapy is the right tool for you, he'll say so plainly rather than sell you a series.
Direct-pay, and why insurance usually won't cover it
Great Physician is a direct-pay practice. Most insurance plans still consider regenerative treatments like prolotherapy investigational and won't reimburse for them, so we don't bill insurance and you don't need a referral. That keeps things simple and transparent: you know the cost before you decide anything.
Because prolotherapy is usually a short series rather than a single shot, ask about the cost of a full course up front, not just one visit. An HSA or FSA may apply; that's between you and your plan. Either way, you'll get the whole number clearly, with no hidden charges.
How to get your exact price
Our fees are laid out in a printable pricing sheet you can review any time at /documents/core-treatments-transparent-pricing.pdf, and Dr. Hric goes over exact pricing with you up front at your consultation — before anything is scheduled. That's also when he'll tell you honestly whether a series of prolotherapy visits makes sense for your injury.
The most useful next step is a consultation. You'll get a straight answer on whether prolotherapy actually fits your case, roughly how many visits it may take, and precisely what it would cost — with no obligation.
