Musculoskeletal and Joint pain—whether from age,                                                                                                                              arthritis, use, overuse, or misuse, can be frustrating.  

It can impair our ability to perform daily tasks,

compromise our quality of life, and suck the joy from

our favorite leisure activities.

​

Prolozone Therapy® — a form of regenerative

medicine is a homeopathic/oxygen injection technique

developed and pioneered by Dr. Shallenberger MD,

HMD ABAAM— can help damaged tissue in your

joints heal themselves, so you can regain mobility and

be as active as you want.

​

An alternative to pain medication and risky surgeries,

it is safe, highly successful, and cost-effective.

​

What is Prolozone Therapy®?

Prolozone Therapy®is a regenerative medicine injection made up of ozone — a gas composed of three oxygen atoms. The solution also contains anti-inflammatory medications, vitamins, and minerals. When we inject prolozone into a painful degenerative or injured joint, the ozone and oxygen gases promote tissue regeneration.

​

It 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 Prolozone Ozone Connection

Cells need oxygen to survive and heal, so injecting damaged tissue with a high concentration of ozone increases the oxygen in the area and allows your body to begin healing itself. When you undergo prolozone therapy for an arthritic or damaged joint, inflammation decreases, pain decreases, and you’re able to move more easily. 

Prolozone Therapy®uses ozone to stimulate growth factors in the tissue surrounding a damaged joint. Like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections — another type of regenerative medicine — prolozone therapy stimulates new growth at a cellular level. 

​

This enhances, or jumpstarts, your body’s natural ability to heal itself and replace damaged tissue with new, healthier tissue. When you have healthy connective tissue supporting your joints, you can move freely and without unbearable pain. 

​

For many people, Prolozone Therapy®is an ideal alternative to invasive surgery and a long recovery period. Instead, a customized series of prolozone injections can help your joint pain subside naturally, without surgery. Prolozone Therapy®also stabilizes the treated area by helping to strengthen damaged or injured tissue. 

 

Ozone As a Disinfectant

In addition to increasing oxygen in a damaged or degenerative joint, ozone injections also act as a disinfectant. This is helpful when the underlying cause of your joint pain is the result of an infection that leads to arthritic conditions.
