Prolozone

Prolozone is a technique combining the principles of neural therapy, Prolotherapy, and Ozone therapy. It involves injecting combinations of procaine, anti-inflammatory medications, homeopathics, vitamins, minerals, and ozone/oxygen gas into degenerated or injured joints, scars and into areas of pain. Prolozone reduces pain through stimulating the body’s own healing processes by saturating the area with oxygen. 

Chronic painful inflammation is a localized area of tissue that is trapped in a state of reduced oxygen utilization. Restore oxygen utilization, and the tissue will function normally again. Prolozone works by improving oxygen perfusion in a localized area of damaged connective tissue, allowing it to heal, and to restore full function.

Unlike injecting a liquid, which will just pool at the injection site, gases expand when injected, and disseminate along areas of inflammation. The effect is that very large areas and difficult to reach areas are treated with only one injection. This decreases the number of injections needed to treat a given area, and greatly decreases the chance of missing the area of primary involvement.
