Prolozone is a combination of homeopathic, nutrient, and oxygen injection that utilizes the power of oxygen to help the regeneration of damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons. The solution contains a mixture of B-vitamins, proliferates, and anti-inflammatory medication that is added to ozone/oxygen gas. Prolozone differs from other pain injectables, such as Cortisone Steroid Shots. Many patients who receive Cortisone or other steroid shots face side effects, especially with long term usage.

Patients who are facing a condition related to pain are some of the most benefited from Prolozone Injection Therapy . Conditions like chronic neck and back pain, arthritis, degenerating disks, carpal tunnel, p...
