Prolozone® Therapy
Prolozone® Injections for Joint and Tendon Pain
Persistent joint or tendon pain can make everyday movement difficult. Prolozone therapy uses targeted injections of ozone, procaine, and vitamins with the goal of reducing pain and supporting tissue repair.
Dr. Jay offers Prolozone as part of an individualized treatment plan for joint, ligament, and tendon concerns, including pain that hasn’t improved with rest, physical therapy, or other treatments. Your consultation includes a review of your symptoms, medical history, and any available imaging to determine whether Prolozone is a good fit for you.
What Is Prolozone® Therapy?
Prolozone® is a regenerative injection technique that combines procaine and vitamins with ozone to restore the elements that damaged tissue needs to heal: oxygen, nutrients, and circulation. When oxygen delivery to an injured area is insufficient, lactic acid accumulates and contributes to ongoing pain; Prolozone® addresses this directly by infusing the treatment area with the oxygen it’s been missing, supporting the body’s own tissue repair process.
What Are the Benefits of Prolozone® Therapy?
- A nonsurgical approach. An injection treatment that may be considered as part of your pain care plan.
- Joint pain. For selected patients with persistent knee, hip, neck, or back pain.
- Tendon and ligament concerns. Evaluation may include tennis elbow and rotator cuff injuries.
- Spine and jaw pain. Disc-related pain, whiplash, and TMJ symptoms require an individual assessment.
- Nerve and foot pain. Discuss symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, heel spurs, or neuromas.
- An individualized treatment plan. The number of injections and follow-up visits depends on your condition and response.
- Arthritic joints. An assessment helps determine whether this approach is appropriate for your knee or hip symptoms.
Who Is This Treatment For?
Prolozone® may be discussed for selected joint, tendon, or ligament pain after the source of pain is assessed. History, examination, movement limits, and relevant imaging help distinguish arthritis, tendon injury, nerve-related pain, or another problem. Prior treatment response and the evidence for the proposed injection guide the discussion of options, risks, and realistic goals.
How Does Prolozone® Therapy Work?
Evaluation
Your provider reviews your health history and the specific joint, ligament, or tendon involved to confirm that Prolozone® is an appropriate option for your presentation.
Injection
Procaine and vitamins are injected into the injured or degenerated area first, reducing pain and delivering nutrients essential to healing, followed by an infusion of ozone to restore oxygen to the tissue.
Treatment Course
Most patients require 3 to 5 treatments to achieve their desired results, with your provider adjusting the plan based on your response.
Follow-Up
Your provider monitors your progress as circulation and healing are reestablished in the treated area.
Why Choose Enhanced Wellness NM for Prolozone® Therapy?
Precision Joint-By-Joint Dosing
Dr. Jay determines the procaine, vitamin, and ozone concentration for each injection site individually, based on the specific joint, ligament, or tendon involved, not a single standard formula.
Oxygen, Not Inflammation
Prolozone® therapy works by restoring oxygen delivery to the damaged tissue itself, a fundamentally different mechanism than PEMF’s electromagnetic stimulation or ONDAMED’s biofeedback-guided pulses.
Fewer Sessions Than Prolotherapy
Because ozone drives the healing response directly, most patients need only 3 to 5 treatments, compared to the more numerous sessions Prolotherapy typically requires.
A Step Before Surgery, Not After It Fails
Prolozone® is positioned as a non-surgical option to try before invasive procedures, not a last resort after other treatments haven’t worked.
