Prolotherapy & Perineural Injection Therapy
Does the following describe you?
• You need surgery or have experienced unsuccessful surgical interventions.
• Anti-inflammatory drugs offer only temporary relief, leaving you searching for lasting solutions.
• Years of persistent pain have left you feeling disheartened, having been told there are no viable treatments.
• Manipulations or adjustments provide temporary relief but fail to provide lasting results.
• Constantly changing positions is a familiar routine in your quest for comfort.
• Deep, pulling, and achy spinal pain is a recurring challenge for you.
• Endurance is a struggle, impacting your ability to engage in daily activities.
• Pain disrupts your normal sleep pattern, making restful nights elusive.
• The more you engage in activities, the more pronounced and persistent your pain becomes.
Prolotherapy is a regenerative injection of a substance that promotes the growth of normal cells, tissues or organs.
Prolotherapy involves a short series of injections containing DEXTROSE into weakened ligaments, tendons, and structural tissues. . The hypertonic dextrose causes mild irritation and begins the healing cascade. The body reacts by constructing new tissue growth at the site of the injections. This non-surgical, non-drug treatment mobilizes the body's very own natural healing agents, a response that strengthens and stabilizes damaged or weakened tissues and joints, resulting in amazing relief - usually permanent.
The number of injections to obtain relief varies considerably from patient to patient and injury to injury. For healthy patients, one injection can often relieve their pain totally, but usually, a series of three to four treatments are sufficient. Treatments are performed every four to six weeks.
Very frequently, back pain occurs as a result of injury or degeneration of the ligaments in the back, which can cause debilitating local pain as well as sciatic pain in the legs and other lower extremity discomfort. Prolotherapy for these patients produced an 80% cure rate.
Perineural Injection Therapy
developed by New Zealander Dr. John Lyftogt. It is a safe and effective treatment for neuropathic pain conditions.
Nerves are the structures that communicate to our brain that we have pain. Nonhealing sensory nerves are the cause of pain, inflammation, and delay in healing.
The treatment consists of injections at the entrapment sites or under the skin targeting painful and sensitive nerves with simple and natural substances that produce instant relief of pain. The substances used are Glucose or Glycerol (polyol-sugar) in a low concentration which acts as nutritive or energy for the injured nerves. The procedure can be ultrasound-guided so we can be very precise with our target tissues.
Every treatment aims to extinguish the pain. Repeated treatments will steadily reduce the overall pain and allow the return of full function.
The average number of treatments required for most conditions is 2-6 and success rates vary between 80-100% depending on the condition.
The treatment is safe, simple, and very effective.
Prolozone
Prolozone® is a homeopathic/oxygen-ozone injection technique developed and pioneered by Dr. Frank Shallenberger. It is excellent for all forms of musculo-skeletal and joint pain. Because in many cases Prolozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.
Prolozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. Ozone gas is used to improve circulation, and thus improve oxygen utilization, increase free radical control, decrease acidosis, eradicate infection and deliver mitochondrial nutrients, anitinflammatories and oxygen, which can reconstruct damaged or weakened connective tissue in and around joints. These substances are injected into the damaged connective tissue in and around a joint to rebuild the damaged areas.
The use of ozone causes the joint to heal much more quickly because ozone is a highly reactive molecule and when injected into a joint capsule it is able to stimulate the fibroblastic joint repairing abilities.
-
Ozone is a gaseous molecule which consists of three oxygen atoms all sharing the same electrons. Ozone is a relatively unstable molecule. The instability is exactly why the ozone is so powerful because it is driven to give off the extra oxygen atom so that it can be reduced to form the stable O2 form
Ozone stimulates increased oxygen utilization by forming ozonides which oxidizes NADH to NAD. Oxygen utilization refers to how efficiently cells are converting oxygen to energy. Once the molecule of oxygen reaches a cell, it can interact with glucose or fatty acids to produce energy.
-
Immediate decrease in pain.
soft and hard tissue regeneration.
a true cure of most chronic injuries and degenerative processes.
The response to treatment varies from person to person, but most people only need from 3-6 treatments.
No pain and zero side effects.
-
Ice can be used on the joint for 15 minutes at least 2-3 times depending on tenderness over the first 48 hours.
Pain can be treated with Tylenol or Ibuprofen.
Most people within the first 48 hours will feel 20-80% reduction of pain in the joint and with a better range of motion
-
When ozone is added to prolotherapy or PRP, it is the cost of prolotherapy or PRP with an additional of $150. Please call our office for more information about the cost.
