What is Prolozone Therapy?
Prolozone® is a homeopathic/oxygen injection technique developed and pioneered
by Dr. Shallenberger. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain;
including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic
hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain.
How Does it Work?
Prolozone Therapy involves the injection of ozone in and around ligaments where
they attach to the bone. The injected ozone increases the blood supply and flow of
healing nutrients. More importantly, it also stimulates the deposition and activity of
fibroblasts and chondroblasts. These cells synthesize the collagen and cartilage that
the body uses to repair damaged ligaments and joints. This increase in cellular repair
activity strengthens and tightens the injured tissues; thereby stabilizing the area, and
removing the cause of the pain.
Is Prolozone safe?
This is an extremely safe treatment. The common effects are a soreness that occurs for
1-3 days after the treatment, and of course relief.
What Can I Expect?
The response to treatment varies depending on one’s healing ability and level of injury. Once being treated, the doctor can analyze how you are responding, and will then be able to give you an accurate estimate of what you can expect from further treatments. The process is repeated every 1-2 weeks until maximum improvement is noted. Prolozone Therapy typically results in a complete absence of symptoms, even in severe pain conditions that have been present for years. When Prolozone® therapy is administered correctly, there is a 85% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to become completely pain free.
