About this clinic
Boston Prolotherapy & Orthopedics, located in Stoneham, specializes in prolotherapy for musculoskeletal and joint conditions. The practice focuses on this regenerative orthobiologic approach, which involves injections of growth-factor solutions to stimulate the body's natural healing response in ligaments, tendons, and joint structures. Prolotherapy is positioned as an alternative to corticosteroid injections for patients with chronic pain, arthritis, and soft-tissue injuries who wish to explore tissue-repair modalities before considering more invasive interventions. Treatment plans are individualized, and the clinic provides patient education on prolotherapy mechanisms, effectiveness, and potential side effects to support informed decision
So happy that I chose Dr. Franchi over surgery! Tore my rotator cuff golfing; had to stop playing and lifting at the gym.
Physical therapy only helped a bit with movement; not the pain. Orthopedist suggested surgery or living with it.
After just 2 treatments with Dr. Franchi I was back golfing and by the fifth and final treatment close to 100% movement with no pain at all! Back to weights at the gym, though going lighter with more reps for the shoulder just to play it safe. I think I'm getting better results this way actually.

Dr. Franchi offers Prolotherapy as an alternative to living with chronic pain OR the need for surgery and extended rehabilitation required following hospitalization. He listens to your specific issues, examines your medical and family history and evaluates your most current medical documentation to determine if his treatment plan can work for you.
About seven years ago Dr. Franchi administered Prolotherapy to me for both of my knees. After five brief treatments I have been totally pain free. This year I developed intense pain in my right hip. Again I requested Dr. Franchi’s help. After seven quick and easy treatments I now have no pain.
If another doctor tells you the only solution is an operation, see Dr. Franchi for a second opinion! You will see for yourself. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Without exaggerating expectations, he instills confidence from the beginning of the process and delivers results at the end. If I characterize Dr. Franki in personal terms: He is truly a “God-Send”.

My first visit to Boston Prolotherapy was in 2020. An Orthopedic surgeon advised surgery for my right knee. I found Doctor Franchi while searching for other options. I had the series of prolotherapy injections and my right knee has been good since and I was able to avoid surgery. I am now returning for a series of injections on my left knee following an injury and am hoping for similar results.

I injured my shoulder (SLAP tear) & bicep tendon down to my elbow in the fall of 2024. The pain when I would reach back for something or when I would lift anything up was unbearable. It essentially shut me down from lifting weights, golfing, or doing yard work that required any serious use of my right arm. I went to PT and to a sports medicine doctor for a few months and followed all directions. I improved maybe 25% - 35%. I started therapy with Dr. Franchi in late fall of 2025. After about three sessions improvement went to around 60%. Since finishing treatments, I am now around 90% improved and back to the gym and golf simulator. I'm beyond surprised and happy with the results!

Dr Franchi, Prolotherapy is a game changer. Two years ago I was hobbled up and scheduled for TKR total knee replacement. A few weeks before surgery I heard the radio gingle. I met with Dr. Franchi and he said he was pretty confident that Prolotherapy would help with my knees. After a series of shots I was a believer. Here I am two years later, walking like I was 20 years ago. I get a couple of booster shots every once in a while and Prolotherapy keeps me moving. Dr Franchi is also very personable and when I had an unrelated issue he gave me his cell to contact him with any further questions. I actually look forward to my appointments.
