Prolozone therapy is an injectable therapy that is used to treat chronic pain anywhere in the body. How does it work?A recent study compared treatments for osteoarthritis of the knee. Acetaminophen, the most widely used over-the-counter medication, did not significantly reduce pain. They compared acetaminophen, celecoxib, diclofenac, iburpofen, naproxen, injections of corticosteroids or hyaluronic acid and oral and injected placebos. Everything was better than acetaminophen.
Patients got some knee pain relief from osteoarthritis after 3 months compared to oral placebo. Hyaluronic acid was the best and the worst was acetaminophen which did not even meet the clinical significance boundary. Celecoxib was only slightly more effective than acetaminophen.
Injections were more effective than oral treatments and placebo injections were surprisingly more effective than oral non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications.
Prolozone therapy breaks the pain cycle
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.
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.
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.
Prolotherapy uses inflammatory agents to stimulate growth factors. Prolotherapy is painful, requires multiple injections and takes time to recover from treatment.
