<p>Hip arthritis fixed with Prolozone. Knees fixed with standard prolotherapy.</p>

Prolozone is a treatment that injects ozone and nutrients into your joints to speed healing. This connective tissue injection therapy of collagen-producing substances and ozone gas can reconstruct damaged connective tissue in and around joints. These substances are injected into the connective tissue to rebuild the damaged areas.


Prolozone Therapy® 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 cancer pain, 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 Therapy® 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 Therapy®?

Prolozone™ is derived from the Latin word “proli” which means to regenerate or rebuild, and the word ozone. Ozone is the most highly active form of oxygen in the universe. Prolozone Therapy® 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 Therapy® 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 Therapy® works in three ways. First, homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the injured area to reduce inflammation and swelling. This leads to increased circulation. Next, the area is treated with vitamins and minerals that are critical for healing.

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.

Conditions That Can Be Treated with Prolozone Therapy®

Prolozone Therapy® 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 Therapy® 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.

Is Prolozone Therapy® the same as Prolotherapy?

No. Prolozone Therapy® uses oxygen to create a healing. Prolotherapy uses inflammation to create the healing. Dr. Shallenberger used to use prolotherapy. Although he found that it was often effective, it had the following limitations. Prolotherapy is extremely painful. Pain usually persists for days to weeks after a treatment. Patients receiving Prolozone Therapy® feel immediate improvement, with very little to any pain at all during the treatments. Next, prolotherapy requires many injections, whereas Prolozone Therapy® only requires a few. This means that Prolozone Therapy® is faster and much less expensive. Prolozone therapy® is especially effective in regenerating the cartilage in damaged knees and hips. Prolotherapy is usually not able to do this.
