Prolotherapy & Prolozone Joint Injections

Home » Services » Regenerative Medicine » Prolotherapy

Non-Surgical Support for Joint Stability, Pain & Mobility

Prolotherapy and Prolozone injections are regenerative-based therapies designed to support joint stability and
comfort. These treatments use gentle, non-surgical solutions injected around ligaments, tendons, and joint
structures to encourage natural repair processes and improve mobility.

Prolotherapy uses a dextrose-based formula, while Prolozone incorporates oxygen or ozone gas into the injection
process. Both approaches aim to support weakened or strained connective tissues that may contribute to joint pain,
stiffness, or instability.

Key Benefits of Prolotherapy & Prolozone

These joint-supporting therapies may offer:

Reduced ligament or tendon irritation.
Support for connective tissue strength and stability
Enhanced joint mobility.
Improved comfort during everyday activities.
A non-surgical option when conservative care isn’t enough.
Targeted support for chronic or recurrent joint discomfort.
Potential relief in areas impacted by overuse or repetitive strain.

Many patients choose prolotherapy or Prolozone when joint pain persists despite stretching, therapy, or rest.

Conditions Commonly Supported with Prolotherapy & Prolozone

These injections may be recommended for:

Ligament or tendon strain

Prolotherapy and Prolozone may help support the stability and comfort of overstretched or irritated connective tissues.

Joint looseness or instability

By reinforcing ligaments and surrounding tissues, these injections help improve joint support and reduce excessive motion.

Chronic or recurrent joint discomfort

They may help promote a healthier environment within irritated joints, especially when discomfort persists or returns frequently.

Knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, or ankle irritation

Prolotherapy and Prolozone may help alleviate soft-tissue stress in major joints commonly affected by daily activities or minor injuries.

Overuse injuries involving connective tissue

These therapies may help calm irritation and support recovery in tissues stressed by repetitive movements or high-demand activity.

Pain aggravated by movement or load

By enhancing soft-tissue support, the injections may help reduce discomfort triggered by weight-bearing or motion.

Long-standing discomfort where soft-tissue strain is involved

They may be considered when chronic tension, strain, or micro-injury contributes to ongoing pain.

Your provider will determine whether prolotherapy or Prolozone is appropriate based on your symptoms and exam findings.

How These Injections Work

These injections work by targeting the connective tissues that support joint stability, helping encourage a natural strengthening response in areas that may be weakened or irritated.

Prolotherapy

Prolotherapy involves injecting a dextrose-based solution into ligament or tendon attachments
to support natural strengthening responses in the area.

Prolozone Therapy

Prolozone follows a similar approach but adds oxygen or ozone gas into the injection to further support tissue
health and function.

Both treatments aim to:

Encourage improved stability in lax or irritated tissues
Support normal joint mechanics
Reduce discomfort from overuse, strain, or chronic patterns

Treatments are customized based on the joint involved and the severity of the irritation or instability.

What to Expect During Treatment

Treatment sessions are straightforward and typically well tolerated.

Step-by-step

1

Preparation

Your provider evaluates the joint, identifies weakened or irritated areas, and prepares the injection site.

2

Injection

A small needle is used to inject the solution into targeted soft tissue or joint-supporting structures.

3

Sensation

A brief pressure or mild stinging sensation may occur during the injection.

4

Recovery

Most patients resume their regular daily activities on the same day. Mild soreness may last 24–48 hours.

5

Treatment Plan

A series of injections may be recommended, typically spaced several weeks apart, based on your goals and response.

When to Expect Results

Responses to prolotherapy or Prolozone can vary. Most patients notice improvements gradually as the tissue responds to treatment.

Typical timelines:

Early changes: 1–2 weeks
Noticeable improvement: 3–6 weeks
Full benefit: after completing a recommended series

Chronic or long-standing joint instability may require additional sessions.
