Homeopathic + ozone joint injections. Especially effective for knees and shoulders
What prolozone treats
Prolozone is most commonly used for joint and soft-tissue conditions where cartilage, ligament, or tendon tissue is degenerated, inflamed, or slow to heal.
Best-response conditions
- Knee osteoarthritis and chronic knee pain
- Shoulder pain, rotator cuff strain, labral irritation
- Hip joint pain and bursitis
- Ankle sprains and chronic ankle instability
- Tennis elbow and golfer's elbow
- Plantar fasciitis
Also used for
- SI joint and low-back ligament laxity
- Wrist and thumb (CMC) joint pain
- Post-injury chronic tendinopathy
- Degenerative joint changes on imaging
- Joints that respond poorly to cortisone
- Patients who want to avoid or delay joint surgery
How prolozone is different from cortisone or standard prolotherapy
Regenerative, not suppressive
Cortisone injections reduce inflammation but can accelerate cartilage breakdown with repeated use. Prolozone is designed to do the opposite. Stimulate circulation and repair in the treated tissue.
Homeopathics + ozone
Each injection combines a carefully selected homeopathic blend with medical-grade ozone gas. The homeopathics support the tissue; the ozone delivers a burst of oxygen that feeds repair.
Knees and shoulders especially
We’ve seen some of the strongest results with knee osteoarthritis and chronic shoulder pain. Joints where patients are often told their only option is surgery or indefinite pain management.
What a prolozone visit looks like
1. Evaluation
History, exam, and. If needed. Imaging review to confirm prolozone is the right tool for your case. Some cases are better served by chiropractic, decompression, or referral.
2. Injection session
Joint is cleaned and prepared. Very fine needles deliver the homeopathic blend followed by ozone. Most sessions take 15-20 minutes. Mild pressure or warmth during injection is normal.
3. Series and reassessment
Most patients do a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart, with reassessment along the way. Many see meaningful change within the first few visits.
Prolozone FAQ
Most patients describe pressure and a brief ache during the injection, similar to other joint injections. Soreness for 24-48 hours afterward is common. And a sign the regenerative response has been activated.
Cortisone suppresses inflammation but can weaken cartilage and tendon tissue over time. Prolozone is designed to stimulate repair rather than suppress symptoms. Many patients come to us after cortisone has stopped helping.
Standard prolotherapy uses dextrose to create a mild irritation that triggers healing. Prolozone adds medical-grade ozone to the homeopathic solution, which delivers a burst of oxygen directly to the joint and accelerates the regenerative response.
Most joints respond to a series of 3-6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. Some patients feel meaningful change after one or two; advanced cases may need a longer series with periodic maintenance.
Yes, when performed by trained clinicians with sterile technique. The agents used are well-tolerated and adverse events are rare. We screen for contraindications at the evaluation visit.
Prolozone is generally considered an out-of-pocket regenerative therapy. Most insurance plans do not cover it. Call 801-373-1035 for current pricing and package options.
Usually yes, and often this combination gets the best results. We’ll coordinate the sequence so the injection and the manual care work together rather than against each other.
Possibly. Many patients come to us hoping to delay or avoid joint replacement. We’ll give you an honest read at the evaluation. Prolozone is powerful but not magic, and some joints are too far gone.
Chronic knee or shoulder pain that isn't responding?
Prolozone evaluations include a full exam and honest assessment of whether the injections are the right tool for your joint.
