Prolozone Therapy® is a homeopathic/oxygen injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Shallenberger. It is highly effective for a wide range of musculoskeletal and joint pain, including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain.

The advantage of Prolozone Therapy® is that it addresses the underlying pathology of the disorder, offering approximately a 75% chance for chronic pain sufferers to become permanently pain-free.

What is Prolozone Therapy®?

The term Prolozone™ comes from the Latin word “proli,” meaning to regenerate or rebuild, combined with “ozone.” Ozone is the most highly active form of oxygen in the universe. Prolozone Therapy® harnesses the power of oxygen to regenerate damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons, usually resulting in complete healing and a permanent end to pain.

How Does Prolozone Therapy® Work?

Healing depends largely on circulation. For a damaged area to regenerate, it must receive critical elements delivered by the blood: vitamins, minerals, and oxygen. Of these, oxygen is the most important. Low oxygen levels lead to the buildup of lactic acid, which causes pain.

Prolozone Therapy® works in three steps:

  1. Homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications are injected into the injured area to reduce inflammation and swelling, improving circulation.
  2. Vitamins and minerals essential for healing are delivered directly to the injured tissues.
  3. The area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone, providing tissues with the critical elements they need to heal. As healing occurs, circulation is restored and the treatment is complete.

Most patients require only 3–5 treatments, though the response can vary individually.

Conditions Treated with Prolozone Therapy®

Prolozone Therapy® is effective for nearly any pain problem, including:

  • Neck pain, whiplash, degenerated or herniated discs
  • Low back pain, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Torn tendons, TMJ syndrome, sciatica, heel spurs, neuromas
  • Tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, knee injuries, and most sports injuries

Because it also promotes cartilage regeneration, Prolozone Therapy® is highly effective for severe osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. This therapy not only treats pain but often provides a permanent solution.

Is Prolozone Therapy® the Same as Prolotherapy?

No. Prolozone Therapy® uses oxygen to stimulate healing, while prolotherapy relies on inflammatio
