Prolotherapy/Prolozone Overview
How Prolotherapy and Prolozone Works On The Body
Prolotherapy and prolozone therapies work by inducing a controlled inflammatory response through targeted injections to stimulate cellular healing and tissue regeneration where the body is injured or degenerated.
Tissue Repair
The inflammation induced stimulates growth factors, stem cells, and proteins that strengthen and regenerate damaged connective tissue.
Pain Relief
By repairing the underlying cause of pain, these therapies can provide lasting pain relief compared to temporary solutions.
Joint Stabilization
Injections can tighten loose ligaments and tendons to better stabilize unstable joints.
Improved Function
The regeneration of damaged tissue may improve mobility, flexibility, and function in areas treated.
Conditions Treated by Prolotherapy and Prolozone
Prolotherapy and prolozone therapies strive to promote cellular healing by stimulating localized inflammatory responses where injury or degeneration has occurred. Precise injections induce controlled inflammation that activates the body's reparative processes, prompting growth factor release and stem cell proliferation to repair damaged tissue. These regenerative injection techniques can strengthen weakened ligaments, tendons, and joints by stimulating collagen remodeling and new blood vessel growth at a cellular level. By targeting the underlying deterioration, prolotherapy and prolozone aim to get to the root cause of chronic pain and loss of function related to sports injuries, osteoarthritis, and other degenerative issues.
Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Prolotherapy is often used to treat chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, back pain, neck pain, and sports injuries by repairing damaged connective tissue.
Joint Instability
Injecting dextrose/ozone into loose ligaments and tendons can tighten and stabilize hypermobile or unstable joints.
Knee Osteoarthritis
Clinical studies show prolotherapy and prolozone significantly improved knee osteoarthritis symptoms and function.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Injecting irritated wrist tendons and joints may relieve carpal tunnel discomfort.
Prepare for Your Treatment with These Helpful Tips
Preparing for a prolotherapy or prolozone treatment involves following some important steps for your comfort, safety, and optimal results. Be sure to disclose all medications and supplements, as certain pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, and blood thinners can interfere with treatment. Arrive well-hydrated and having eaten a light meal to prevent dizziness. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to allow access for injections in targeted areas like the back, neck, knees or other joints. Expect some temporary soreness and swelling after injections and avoid strenuous activity for 1-2 days to rest the treated area. Use ice, compression, and over-the-counter pain medication as recommended to manage discomfort. Stay well-hydrated after your treatment session and stick to light activity to support the inflammatory healing process.
Disclose all medications
Inform your provider of any medications, supplements, or blood thinners you take, as these can interfere with treatment.
Loose Clothing
This allows easy access for injections in the back, neck, knees or other targeted areas.
Arrange a ride home
The majority of patients are able to drive themselves home without assistance after receiving treatment. However, if you experience any discomfort, dizziness, or other concerns that could impair your ability to drive, it is recommended to have someone accompany you to ensure your safety.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water pre- and post-treatment to aid the healing process.
Treatment Process: What to Expect
During Prolotherapy or Prolozone Therapy, patients can expect a relatively straightforward and minimally invasive treatment process. The first step usually involves a thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, during which your medical history and specific concerns will be discussed. Once the treatment plan is tailored to your needs, the actual therapy typically involves a series of injections directly into the affected area. These injections contain a solution that stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting tissue repair and stability. While some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of pressure during the injections, it is generally well-tolerated. After the session, there may be some localized soreness, but this usually subsides within a few days. Over the course of several sessions, you can anticipate gradual improvement in your symptoms and a potential return to a more active and pain-free lifestyle. We will closely monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.
Injection Procedure
The core of both Prolotherapy and Prolozone Therapy involves the injection of a specialized solution into the targeted area. In Prolotherapy, this solution typically contains substances like dextrose or other irritants to stimulate tissue repair and growth. Prolozone Therapy combines ozone with other substances, such as minerals, to encourage healing and reduce inflammation. The injections are administered directly into ligaments, tendons, or joints using a fine needle. While some discomfort or pressure may be felt during the injections, it is usually well-tolerated.
Possible Discomfort and Recovery
After the procedure, it's common to experience some localized soreness, swelling, or stiffness at the injection site. This discomfort is typically temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. Full recovery time varies but is often relatively short, with most patients returning to their normal activities within a few days to a week.
Treatment Time
On average, a single session typically lasts around 30 minutes to an hour.
Gradual Improvement
One of the primary expectations is gradual improvement in your symptoms over a series of treatment sessions. These therapies stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms, so results may not be immediate. You can expect to see increased stability, reduced pain, and improved function over time. The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity and nature of your condition, and your healthcare provider will monitor your progress to adjust the treatment plan as needed.
