What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that works to alleviate chronic pain by regenerating damaged musculoskeletal tissues.
It is a non-surgical procedure that has been found to re-establish function to injured tendons, ligaments, muscles, and joints, commonly found in athletes and physically active people.

What is Ozone?
Ozone [Oxygen with 3 atoms] is a very useful therapeutic resource. It is inexpensive, easy to implement, has low side effects rate, and very effective in the management of most types of pain syndromes including, but not limited to Arthritis, Sciatica, Neck pain, Back pain, Joint pain, muscle and ligament injury.
How does Ozone work?
• A chemical compound consisting of three oxygen atoms (O3).
• The elemental form of oxygen occurring naturally as a result of ultraviolet energy or lightning causing a temporary recombination of oxygen atoms into groups of three.
• The form of oxygen that is formed by an electric discharge field of a corona discharge generator (simulates lightning). Oxygen is the only gas that can accept and carry an electrical charge.
• It is a pale blue gas that condenses to a deep blue liquid of very low temperatures.
• It protects living organisms by surrounding the earth at altitudes of 50,000 –
100,000 feet and absorbs the sun’s ultraviolet (200 – 300 nm range) rays. This
allows the survival of plant and animal life.
At Kentuckiana Integrative Medicine, we offer prolotherapy and prolozone to treat chronic muscle and joint pain, specifically damage in the ligaments or tendons. Prolotherapy works by stimulating the body’s own natural healing mechanisms to repair injured tissue.
Our physicians are among a select group of medical practitioners to provide prolotherapy in the Louisville, KY area from our clinic in Jeffersonville.
If you have chronic pain in the shoulder, knee, hip, elbow, hand, wrist, foot or ankle, prolotherapy may be the right solution for you.
