Prolozone
This Regenerative Medicine treatment was developed by Dr. Frank Shallenberger in the 1990’s. It is a safe and effective non-surgical treatment for many kinds of acute and chronic painful musculoskeletal conditions. This treatment uses ozone gas to cause the proliferation, regeneration, and rebuilding of new ligament, tendon and cartilage tissue in areas where they have become weakened.
Prolozone works by improving oxygen utilization in a localized area of damaged connective tissue, allowing it to heal, and to restore full function. It is the injection of healing nutrients and ozone in and around ligaments, tendons and cartilage that stimulates the body needs to strengthen and tighten the injured tissues, stabilizing the area, and remove the cause of the pain. By improving oxygen utilization, stimulating circulation and decreases inflammation. This natural treatment addresses the cause of pain, and eliminates the sensation or feeling of pain.
What Is Actually Injected?
The regenerative healing injections are made in two phases. First, a solution with procaine (an anesthetic, like when you go to the dentist) vitamins and minerals are injected in and around the painful area. Next, a precise amount of concentrated ozone gas is injected at the same area.
