Prolozone Injections

Healing Prolozone Injections

Prolozone therapy is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment for a variety of acute and chronic painful musculoskeletal concerns. This treatment involves the injection of collagen-producing substances and ozone gas to cause the proliferation, regeneration, and rebuilding of new ligament, tendon and cartilage tissue in areas where they have become weakened.

Throughout our lives, we will have sprains, strains, degeneration, or tearing of our ligaments, tendons, or joints. Prolozone will help stabilize these areas by healing damaged cartilage, ligaments, or tendons so that our patients have less pain and better function. Call our office today to schedule your next treatment!

How does prolozone facilitate healing of joints?

Joint spaces along with ligaments and cartilage have many nerve endings. Once damaged the injury can cause intense pain. And once ligaments have been injured, they cannot regain elasticity on their own because they have a limited blood supply. Prolozone works by increasing blood flow and oxygen utilization to the affected area, interrupting the nerve signal of pain, and reducing inflammation. This increase in blood flow and oxygen provides the damaged tissue with improved nutrition and hydration, both of which promote healing, strengthen injured tissues, and restore normal function. In this way, partially torn connective tissue and ligaments are repaired, increasing range of motion and lessening pain. Prolozone is truly naturopathic because it naturally addresses the ROOT CAUSE of pain, and often eliminates the need for pain medication and/or surgery.

For those with joint pains caused by chronic infections such as Lyme disease and EBV, prolozone is believed to increase the antioxidants in the body, helping to fight off invasions by bacteria, fungi, viruses, and even protozoa.

What are the advantages of prolozone over other joint injections?

There are several advantages to prolozone over conventional prolotherapy, including

  • Fewer treatment sessions
  • Fewer needle insertions per session
  • Increased growth of cartilage
  • Less pain at the injection site

What does the prolozone procedure look like?

Prolozone injection procedure is quite simple. The patient can be injected with a localized optional anesthetic, such as procaine, in and around the painful area. Next, a precise amount of concentrated ozone gas and dextrose is injected at the same area.

The entire procedure can take 5-10 minutes.

After the injections have been administered, we highly recommend treating the injection site with deep tissue laser therapy to strengthen the repair. This procedure is also done in our office.
