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.
How Is Prolotherapy Performed at Our Louisville, KY Clinic
Dextrose (sugar water), lidocaine (numbing medicine) and vitamins like b12 is injected into the injured or damaged site to relieve pain and remove inflammation in the painful tendon, muscle, joint, or ligament. This actually helps your body regenerate new, whole tissue.
What is the success rate of prolotherapy / prolozone?
In patients with low back pain, studies have shown a 85% to 95% of patients experience improvement with prolotherapy / prolozone (compared to studies showing a 52% improvement with back surgery). Many studies done over the years show a high success rate when prolotherapy / prolozone is used for various ligament, tendon or joint pain/injuries.
