What is Prolozone Therapy?
It is a non-surgical procedure to eliminate or dramatically reduce pain by facilitating the body’s own natural ability to heal itself. Prolozone is a combination of homeopathic and procaine solution combined with a small amount of activated oxygen (ozone), delivered to the area of pain via a local injection.  

How Does It Work?
The homeopathic and activated oxygen solution signals the immune system to initiate the healing process. In response, the immune system sends out a variety of messages to the appropriate cells to take action. These cells gather to the tissue site and begin the repair process by assisting the injured area to create new blood flow and healthy cell replication, thereby fashioning new flexible tissue where previously only old scar tissue remained.

The addition of the activated oxygen greatly enhances this repair cycle by increasing cellular energy production, thus assuring a total increase of available oxygen and nutrients to the new forming tissue.

What Types of Problems Can Be Helped? 
Prolozone therapy has shown to be highly effective with many forms of chronic pain due to tissue damage. Because of its proliferative nature, the tissues directly involved or the supporting tissues to the weakened area can be innately strengthened, including ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. The following ailments are some of the most common problems remedied with Prolozone:
    Low back pain and sciatica
    Arthritic joints
    Tennis elbow
    Chronic shoulder and knee injuries
    Sports injuries
    TMJ dysfunction
    Disc inflammation
    Sprains, strains and repetitively injured, weak areas.
 
How Long Before I See Results?
This is dependent on several factors including age, chronicity and severity of pain, the extant of tissue damage, lifestyle. As a general rule, most people notice improvement within a few treatments. It is most important at this stage to maintain the prescribed regimen. The decrease or elimination of pain indicates the repair process is effectively taking place. However, it does not mean it is complete. This requires further care, evaluation and discussion with your physician. Please feel free to ask. Each situation requires its own protocol.

Are There Any Side Effects?  
All the research indicates there are no side effects when properly implemented.
