What Is It?
Prolozone is a technique that marries concepts from neural therapy, Prolotherapy, and ozone therapy. It involves injecting various combinations of procaine, anti-inflammatory medications/homeopathic, vitamins, minerals, proliferatives, and a mixture of ozone gas into degenerated or injured joints, and in areas of pain. The result of this combination is nothing short of remarkable in that damaged tissues may be regenerated, and otherwise untreatable pain can find relief.
PRP (Platelet-rich Plasma) & PRF (Platelet-rich Fibrin) have garnered great renown as promising treatment procedures in aesthetic and regenerative medicines. Both PRP and PRF utilize the patient’s blood to extract platelets and special proteins known as growth factors, which are then injected into the treatment area. These platelets and special proteins enable the body to regenerate and heal itself. Both PRF and PRP are considered to help the healing process of injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, and potentially improve the overall skin appearance and may help cure conditions such as acne scarring, dark spots, and aged skin by focusing on toning and moisturizing the skin.

What can a patient expect?
Prolozone – most patients notice an almost immediate 50-80% decrease in pain. This is in part due to the effects of procaine; however, studies show that ozone has a significant ability to directly relieve pain. This therapy can have regenerative properties without breaking down cartilage, like steroids.
PRP/PRF – these therapies are a form of regenerative medicine that can harness the body’s ability to heal itself and amplify the natural growth factors your body uses to heal tissue. The effect of treatment is most noticeable after at least six months.
