Is your infrastructure in your knee falling apart.  Prolozone therapy.  Second Nature Care.

Is your knee infrastructure falling apart?  Do you have osteoarthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?  If yes, read on . . . .

New findings . . . .

Young people who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction or ACLR a year later showed MRI evidence of osteoarthritis in the knee. They did not know about prolozone therapy.   

Almost one-third of young patients have evidence of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee as defined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), new research suggests. MRI found osteoarthritis most frequently in the medial femoral trochlea.  

If you have ACL repair you need early prolozone intervention treatment to prevent osteoarthritis.  ACL repair does not restore a knee to normal, but prolozone injections can.  This is quite an admission documented in the literature.  

This does not mean you should not have ACL surgery; it just means you should have prolozone injections before and after the surgery to repair damaged tissue, prevent scar tissue formation and inhibit arthritic formations.

Did you know that most people with osteoarthritis in the knee have inadequate pain relief especially women with depression, hypertension or diabetes and those who have had the disease for a long time?  
It's a whopping 54% of patients with OA that continued to have persistent moderate to severe pain after taking prescribed pain treatments for knee osteoarthritis. Topical and oral treatments did not work because they did not address the root cause of pain.
Prolozone therapy goes right to the root cause of the pain and delivers immediate relief.  
A high percentage of patients with osteoarthritis in one knee had it in both knees.  NSAID's nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed first followed by paracetamol and opioid drugs. Many people end up habitually taking and getting addicted to opioid medications. This does not even conform to or follow clinical practice guidelines in modern medicine.  

Second Nature Care Prolozone Therapy 

Prolozone therapy breaks the pain cycle

  • Improves oxygen utilization
  • Stimulates good quality circulation
  • Delivers mitochondrial nutrients, bi-carb, anti-inflammatories and oxygen to the injured tissues for fast healing

What is Prolozone Therapy?

Prolozone is an injectable combination of natural steroids, tissue regeneration homeopathics, cellular nutrients, proliferants and ozone.  This combination repolarizes cellular membranes so injured cells can heal.  Inflammation and swelling disappear.  Proliferants stimulate growth factor production and ozone stimulates healthy blood flow.

What can you expect at your first visit? 

You'll fill out an intake form, consent forms and then meet with our board-certified prolozone therapy doctors to discuss your case.  The treatment areas will be discussed and together we will decide the best first course of action.  

What can you expect after your first injection? Your first injection is an anti-inflammatory formula.

  • Immediate decrease in pain 
  • Soft and hard tissue regeneration
  • A true cure for your chronic injuries and degenerative processes
  • No pain and Zero side effects

How many injections will I need?Treatment response time varies from person to person, but most people only need 3-5 treatments for a permanent and effective solution.  The second injection is a proliferative formula to regenerate damaged tissues during your second visit that is scheduled two weeks after your first visit, the third injection is scheduled in 2-4 weeks and fourth visit in 4-6 weeks.  Chronic cases or reinjuries may require a booster treatment every 3-4 months.

What is the difference between Prolozone Therapy and Sclero/Prolotherapy?

Prolozone therapy integrates the use of injectable ozone to promote healingProlozone gives immediate pain relief and improvement with no recovery time. Prolozone is effective in regenerating damaged cartilage in knees and hips; Prolotherapy is not able to do this. Prolotherapy uses inflammatory agents to stimulate growth factors.  Prolotherapy is painful, requires multiple injections and takes time to recover from treatment.  

Every week I perform prolozone therapy on patients with long-term chronic injuries and pain and every week patients and I witness the tremendous benefits of prolozone therapy.  It has enabled patients to reduce or eliminate their pain meds, immediately increase their function and flexibility and get back to a normal life.
