From the American Academy of Ozonotherapy website:

Prolozone® is a homeopathic/oxygen injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Shallenberger. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain. The good thing about Prolozone is that because it actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.

 

What is Prolozone?

Prolozone is derived from the Latin word “proli” “proliferate”, meaning to produce new cells in rapid succession to regenerate or rebuild tissues with ozone. Ozone is the most highly active form of oxygen in the universe. Prolozone uses the power of oxygen to cause damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons to regenerate. This usually causes a complete healing, and a permanent end to pain.

​

How Does Prolozone Work?

The reason that some injuries completely heal and others don’t has to do with circulation. In order for a damaged area of the body to regenerate and heal, it must have the critical elements that only the blood can provide: vitamins, minerals, and oxygen.

Of these, by far the most important is oxygen. Low levels of oxygen cause an accumulation of lactic acid, which is what causes pain. Prolozone works in three ways.

         1. Homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the injured area to reduce inflammation and swelling.

             This leads to increased circulation.

         2. The area is treated with vitamins and minerals that are critical for healing.

         3.And finally, the area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone.

The result is that the tissues get what they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established, and the treatment is complete. The response to treatment varies from person to person, but most people only need from 3-5 treatments.

​

What will you experience?

The majority of our clients report little to no pain during the treatment. Over 80% of the patients feel immediate improvement. Prolozone injections use special treatment solution and Active Oxygen. As a result you may experience some mild discomfort, swelling and stiffness in the area that can last from 1 hour to a couple days. What is special treatment solution is made off? Special solution is made of natural ingredients and can be injected to improve cellular nutrition. It can include herbal extracts, dextrose, saline, B vitamins, peptides, cellular stimulants and possibly some homeopathic ingredients.

Conditions That Can Be Treated With Prolozone

Prolozone works on just about any pain problem you might have, including:

neck pain, whiplash, degenerated or herniated discs, low back pain, plantar fascitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, torn tendons, TMJ syndrome, sciatica, heel spurs, neuromas, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, knee injuries, and virtually any other sports injury.

Because Prolozone treatments also result in cartilage regeneration, the technique is also remarkably effective even for severe cases of osteo arthritis of the hip or knee. The good thing about Prolozone is that it is not just a treatment for pain. The results actually represent a permanent fix.
