What is Prolozone?

I'm proud to offer Prolozone Therapy, a groundbreaking pain rehabilitation treatment I learned directly from its pioneer, Dr. Frank Shallenberger. This innovative therapy combines the healing power of ozone with precise applications of procaine, vitamins, and minerals to help your body repair damaged tissues naturally. Unlike steroid injections that can degrade cartilage over time, Prolozone works by enhancing your body's natural healing abilities, particularly in degenerated or injured joints.

Through my experience, I've seen remarkable results—about 75% of my chronic pain patients achieve lasting relief by restoring proper oxygen utilization in damaged areas. The treatment process is thorough but manageable, typically involving 4-6 sessions spaced two weeks apart. What excites me most about Prolozone is its ability to address the root cause of pain rather than just masking symptoms, offering my patients a natural path to long-term healing and renewed quality of life without surgery.

What is the difference between Prolozone and cortisone steroid shots?

Doctors typically limit the number of cortisone shots because of the potential damage they can cause. Prolozone injections do not damage the joint or surrounding tissues but signal growth factors to heal, repair and strengthen the connective tissues around the painful area.

What conditions can Prolozone treat?

Prolozone is particularly beneficial for treating a variety of musculoskeletal and joint-related conditions, as well as chronic pain disorders, headaches, and even post-surgical pain. Here are some of the key conditions it can treat:

Back Pain

Prolozone is often used to treat various forms of back pain, including lumbar disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. It promotes healing in spinal tissues and reduces chronic inflammation.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

For patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, prolozone injections can reduce inflammation and pain in the wrist and hand, improving nerve function and reducing symptoms.

Chronic Joint Pain

Conditions like chronic knee pain, shoulder pain, neck and hip pain that result from wear and tear, injury, or degeneration can be effectively managed with prolozone injections. It helps by reducing pain and restoring joint function.

Chronic Pain Syndromes

Prolozone is also effective in managing various chronic pain syndromes, including complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue healing.

Degenerated or Herniated Discs

Prolozone therapy can be used to treat the pain of degernated or herniated discs and stimulate tissue regeneration.

Degenerative Joint Diseases

Conditions like degenerative joint disease (DJD) and degenerative disc disease (DDD) respond well to prolozone, which helps slow the progression of degeneration and provides pain relief.

Fibromyalgia

For patients with fibromyalgia, prolozone can provide relief from chronic pain and muscle stiffness by reducing inflammation and improving tissue oxygenation.

Ligament Injuries

Ligament injuries, such as sprains or chronic instability in the knees, ankles, or other joints, can benefit from prolozone injections. The therapy strengthens and repairs damaged ligaments, restoring joint stability.

Osteoarthritis

Prolozone is highly effective in treating osteoarthritis and bone-on-bone conditions by reducing inflammation, increasing joint mobility, and stimulating the regeneration of cartilage. It is commonly used in knees, hips, shoulders, and other weight-bearing joints.

Plantar Fasciitis

Prolozone is effective in treating plantar fasciitis by reducing inflammation in the plantar fascia and promoting the healing of the tissue, leading to significant pain relief and improved mobility.

Sciatica

Patients suffering from sciatica, often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, can experience relief with prolozone. The injections help reduce nerve inflammation and pain radiating down the leg.

Sports Injuries

Prolozone is an excellent option for treating a variety of sports-related injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, torn meniscus, sprains, strains, and overuse injuries. It speeds up recovery, reduces inflammation, and helps athletes return to their activities more quickly.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders

Prolozone can be used to treat TMJ disorders, alleviating pain, improving jaw function, and reducing inflammation in the temporomandibular joint.

Tendinitis and Tendon Injuries

Tendon-related injuries, such as Achilles tendinitis, rotator cuff injuries, golf and tennis elbow, respond well to prolozone. The treatment accelerates the healing of tendons and reduces chronic pain.
