Prolozone Therapy is an injection technique similar to Prolotherapy that uses ozone. The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly than in traditional Prolotherapy. This is because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it is able to stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities.
Prolozone is derived from the word ozone and the Latin word “proli” which means to "Regenerate or Re-build". It literally means Re-building tissues with ozone. It is important to understand what the word Prolozone actually means. “Prolo” is short for proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation (growth, formation) of new ligament tissue in areas where it has become weak.
Conditions that can be treated with Prolozone Therapy
Prolozone works on just about any pain problem you might have, including:
Neck pain, whiplash, degenerated or herniated discs, low back pain, plantar fasciitis, carpal
tunnel syndrome, torn tendons, TMJ syndrome, sciatica, heel spurs, neuromas, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, knee injuries, and virtually any other sports injury. Because Prolozone treatments also stimulate cartilage regeneration; the
technique is also remarkably effective even for severe cases of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Note: Prolozone is steroid less treatment.
