Prolozone therapy is a regenerative treatment designed to alleviate pain and promote healing in damaged tissues and joints.
By harnessing the power of ozone and regenerative solutions, it helps stimulate the body’s natural repair processes and enhance overall function and comfort.
What is Prolozone Therapy?
Prolozone therapy is a form of prolotherapy, a non-surgical method to promote healing and relieve pain. It involves injecting a solution to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Prolozone specifically combines ozone gas with a regenerative solution, typically including a local anesthetic and sometimes a regenerative agent, to enhance the healing effect.
How Does It Work?
- Injection of Ozone and Solution: In Prolozone therapy, ozone gas is injected directly into the affected area along with a solution that may include local anesthetics and regenerative agents. The ozone gas interacts with the tissues and can increase oxygenation and stimulate cellular repair.
- Stimulation of Healing: The ozone promotes increased circulation and cellular metabolism in the target area. It also triggers the release of growth factors and stimulates the production of collagen and other essential components for tissue repair.
- Reduction of Inflammation: The therapy helps reduce inflammation and pain, improving overall function in the treated area.
Benefits of Prolozone Therapy
- Pain Relief: Prolozone therapy can offer significant relief from chronic pain, particularly in joints, ligaments, and tendons.
- Enhanced Healing: By promoting the body’s natural healing processes, the therapy can accelerate the repair of damaged tissues and improve recovery times.
- Improved Function: Patients often experience increased mobility and function in the treated area, which can be beneficial for those suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis or chronic ligament injuries.
- Non-Surgical Option: Prolozone therapy is a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, making it suitable for patients seeking non-surgical pain management.
Prolozone therapy is commonly used for:
- Joint Pain: Including knee, shoulder, and hip pain.
- Ligament and Tendon Injuries: Such as chronic sprains or tendonitis.
- Back Pain: Related to degenerative changes or injuries.
- Osteoarthritis: To manage symptoms and improve joint function.
Considerations
Treatment Frequency: Multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, depending on the severity of the condition and the individual’s response.
Side Effects: Prolozone therapy is generally well-tolerated, but potential side effects can include temporary soreness at the injection site or minor swelling.
