Prolotherapy & Prolozone Therapy: A Revolutionary Approach to Pain Relief | Medical Education

A Revolutionary Approach to Pain Relief

Prolotherapy and Prolozone Therapy are non-surgical regenerative treatments designed to repair damaged ligaments, tendons, and joints. These therapies work by stimulating the body's natural healing response, making them powerful alternatives to pain management medications and surgery.

How It Works

Prolotherapy: A natural irritant (like dextrose) is injected into weakened joints or connective tissues, triggering inflammation and promoting collagen production for long-term tissue repair [1].
Prolozone Therapy: Combines prolotherapy with ozone (O₃) injections, significantly enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing inflammation, and accelerating healing [2].

What Conditions Can It Treat?

Chronic joint pain (knees, shoulders, hips, and spine)
Osteoarthritis & degenerative joint diseases
Ligament & tendon injuries
Herniated discs & back pain
Sports injuries & repetitive strain conditions
TMJ dysfunction & carpal tunnel syndrome

What to Expect from Prolotherapy & Prolozone Therapy

Treatments are quick (15–30 minutes) and require little to no downtime.
Most patients experience improvement after just a few sessions.
Minimal discomfort with long-lasting relief from pain and inflammation.
