INJURED LIGAMENTS CAUSE PAIN
Ligaments are the structural “Rubber Bands” that hold the bones, joints, and intervertebral discs together. Ligaments can become weak or injured form injury, excessive use, or surgery, and often do not heal back to their original strength and tightness. When this happens, it puts a severe strain on the areas that the ligaments are supposed to be holding together, resulting in pain and arthritis in the bones, discs, and joints which are affected. Also, ligaments themselves have many nerve endings which can provide an additional source of pain.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
PROLOZONE THERAPY involves the injection of ozone in and around ligaments where they attach to the bone. The injected ozone increases the blood supply and flow of healing nutrients. More importantly, it also 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; thereby stabilizing the area, and removing the cause of the pain.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
The response to treatment varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one’s healing ability and level of injury. Some people may only need one or two treatments, while others may need as many as six or seven.
The injection process is repeated every 1-2 weeks until maximum improvement is noted. PROLOZONE THERAPY typically results in a complete absence of symptoms. And, the most amazing thing about is that the results usually represent a permanent fix.
WHAT CONDITIONS ARE TREATED?
Back and neck pain with or without degenerative disk disease, shoulder pain from rotator cuff injuries, and osteo-arthritis of the hips, knees and spine are the most common ailments treated with PROLOZONE THERAPY. It is also excellent for many other types of musculo-skeletal 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 ligaments during surgery.
