Regenerate damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons with ozone.
Prolozone is a homeopathic / oxygen-ozone injection technique that marries concepts from neural therapy, prolotherapy, and ozone therapy. It is derived from the Latin word “proli” (proliferate) which means to regenerate or rebuild, and the word ozone (1).
Ozone is the most highly active form of oxgyen in the universe. Prolozone uses it to proliferate, regenerate, and rebuild new ligament and cartilage tissue in areas where they have become weak. This usually causes a complete healing.
There is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free because prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder (2).
How Prolozone Works
Developed by Dr. Frank Shallenberger, prolozone involves injecting combinations of procaine, homeopathics, vitamins, minerals, and ozone into areas of pain.
Tissues get the energy they need to heal. And as they heal, the circulation to the area is re-established, pain is cured, and the treatment has done it’s job.
Prolozone can prevent painful and un-neccessary surgery.
Prolozone involves the injection of a gas (as apposed to a liquid) in large volumes which expands into surrounding tissue. Therefore, it is not as critical to pinpoint each injection since the ozone is able to disperse and benefit anything nearby.
Most people require 3 – 5 injections administered every 2 – 3 weeks over the course of several months. Dr. Riddle will advise patients based on their individual needs and capacity for healing.
The majority of people report very little to no pain during treatment and over 80% of the patients feel immediate improvement. Anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen can be synergistic with this procedure and are accordingly not contra-indicated.
