Prolotherapy - Prolozone - PRP . . .

Prolotherapy is a non-surgical treatment to strengthen and repair injured ligaments, tendons and supportive tissue of the entire muscular skeletal system.

Prolo (short for proliferation) uses a dextrose solution, which is injected into the injured area (knee, back, elbow, etc.). This causes a controlled local inflammation in these weak areas which increases blood supply and flow of nutrients, stimulating local tissue repair.

In certain cases ozone, a reactive form of oxygen, is more effective than dextrose, more recently PRP has been used in more severe cases with dramatic results.

The outcome of this treatment is:

• Decreased local pain
• Better mobility
• Tissue repair

often eliminating the need for surgery.

The number of treatments depends on the severity of the problem and can range from 1 to 6.
