Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) affect the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, causing pain and functional issues. This case report describes a 41-year-old female with chronic severe degenerative arthropathy of the left TMJ, who initially responded to conservative treatments but later received prolotherapy for persistent symptoms. Following prolotherapy, her pain score decreased from 7 to 3, and her mouth opening improved from 25 mm to 44 mm over three months. This case highlights prolotherapy's potential as an effective alternative for TMD treatment, complementing traditional conservative methods.
