Prolozone Therapy
Prolozone Therapy a homeopathic oxygen injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Shallenburger, with whom Luke trained in America. It is excellent for all forms of musculoskeletal and joint pain, including chronic neck/back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips, knees, shoulders and elbows along with disc herniations and spinal stenosis.
Prolozone is derived from the Latin word “proli,” which means to regenerate rebuild, and the word ozone. Ozone is the most highly active form of oxygen in the universe. Prolozone therapy typically requires 3-5 sessions for long-term benefit and maximum results.

How Does Prolozone Work?
With Luke Ramsay DC. F.R.C.C
The reason that some injuries completely heal and others do not, has to do with circulation. In order for healing to happen, the body must transport critical elements that only the blood can provide: vitamins, minerals and oxygen.
​
Prolozone therapy works in 3 ways via a cocktail of ingredients. Firstly, homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications are mixed which reduce inflammation and swelling, leading to increased circulation, alongside a mixture of vitamins and minerals which are critical for healing. Lastly, the area is infiltrated with oxygen in the form of ozone.
​
The result is that the tissues get what they need to heal, the circulation the area is improved and regeneration can begin.

What Can Prolozone Therapy Treat?

Prolozone therapy works on a vast amount of problem areas including:
​
Degenerative Joints - Knees, Hips, Ankles & Shoulders
Spinal Stenosis / Disc Herniations
Carpel Tunnel & Arthritic Hands
Tendon Injuries or Tears
Rotator Cuff Injuries/Tennis Elbow/Plantar Fascitiis
Pelvic Disorders & Migraines
​
Due to the treatment also resulting in cartilage regeneration, the technique is also effective even in cases of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee. The good thing about the treatment is that it isn’t just a treatment for pain, the results actually cater to fix the issue. .
​
The benefit is there is little to no down time, no side effects and some may feel a difference immediately. However, most healing begins after a 24-48 hour period, with a minimum of 3 sessions required. Each patient is looked at on an individual basis, severity of the problem, lifestyle and age factors.

Is This Like Cortisone Injections?
The answer is no. Cortisone injections are more of a treatment to reduce inflammation and pain temporarily to improve the quality of your life, Prolozone is a non surgical and natural approach which works to heal connective tissue around the joints helping address and heal the underlying issue. It also has the ability to spread further around the site of injection, meaning it can have a positive impact on the injury site but also on the surrounding tissues which could have been under stress and strain due to compensation.
