Prolozone Injection in Tampa, FL

What is Prolozone?

It's an all-natural regenerative injection of vitamins and oxygen which enhances and stimulates our natural cellular repair activity — providing the building blocks necessary to heal your joints.

Prolozone combines traditional Dextrose Prolotherapy, Ozone therapy & Neural therapy. This powerful combination is designed to reduce pain, decrease inflammation & start the regenerative healing process. We place ozone (which turns to oxygen) & a vitamin mixture directly into tissue & joints that need to heal. This stimulates growth factors, collagen production, & energy production which helps your joint and the surrounding ligaments, tendons and nerves heal.

Prolozone injections are a great alternative to PRP & Stem Cell treatments and are generally 1/10 the cost and just as effective. It pairs naturally with Prolotherapy and our broader regenerative medicine for joints approach.

What to expect with Prolozone treatment

• The procedure is quick — you're in and out of the office in about 30 minutes.
• A typical course of treatment is a series of 4 injections done every 2–4 weeks.
• As with everything in the body, it depends on the severity of the problem and how a patient's body responds to the procedure.
• Prolozone treatment can and often results in a complete absence or control of symptoms, even in severe conditions that have been present for years.

How does Prolozone work?

Pain happens because your body's healing capacity can't keep up with the wear and tear we place on it. This especially happens in tissues with poor blood flow and leads to a state of oxygen deprivation in these painful areas.

• Prolozone injections help stimulate the natural healing and regeneration process by injecting Dextrose, vitamins, and oxygen (ozone) to stimulate blood flow around injured and damaged tissues and re-start the entire healing cascade.
• Dextrose calms down irritated nerves and helps stimulate a healing response in damaged and injured areas. It helps your body release growth factors and stimulates collagen production — helping your joint and the surrounding ligaments and tendons regenerate and heal.
• Ozone places oxygen directly into damaged joints and tissues, hyper-oxygenating the damaged areas, which improves healing & regeneration.
• The vitamin mixture provides the building blocks for healing and allows your cells to function properly.
• The combination of Dextrose & ozone stimulates the deposition and activity of fibroblasts and chondroblasts. These cells synthesize the collagen and cartilage that the body uses to repair damaged ligaments and joints. This increase in cellular repair activity strengthens and tightens the injured tissues, stabilizing the area and removing the cause of the pain.

What conditions are treated with Prolozone?

• Back and neck pain with or without degenerative disc disease, facet joint issues or radiculopathy (sciatica).
• Shoulder pain from rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and tendonitis or ligament tears.
• Osteoarthritis of the hips, knees and spine.
• Knee pain from meniscus tears, degeneration, arthritis, ligament injuries and nerve irritation.
• Prolozone is also excellent for many other types of musculoskeletal pain, including fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ syndrome, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, tennis elbow and virtually any sports injuries.
• It can be especially effective in treating areas that have previously been operated on, because of the significant injury that occurs to tissues like muscles & ligaments during surgery.

How much does Prolozone cost?

• Prolozone is very inexpensive, especially when compared to PRP or stem cells.
• You can receive an entire course of treatment (4–6 ozone injections) for the cost of a single PRP injection.
• Prolozone also allows for a more comprehensive treatment, targeting more pain generators than a PRP treatment, because we aren't limited to the amount of solution we use.
• Treatment cost ranges from $300 per region treated.
• For example, if you have neck and shoulder pain, the neck would be $300 and the shoulder an additional $300.
• We will ALWAYS discuss the exact pricing with you during your Initial Consultation and make the EXACT cost clear.
