Three nonsurgical therapies currently being utilized for injury and pain management:
Prolozone Therapy
PRP Therapy
Stem Cell Therapy
Prolozone Therapy
Prolozone which means “to regenerate” is a connective tissue injection therapy, which combines Ozone therapy, Prolotherapy, and Neural therapy. Prolozone Therapy incorporates Ozone to initiate healing by stimulating fibroblast activity for the permanent reconstruction of tissues surrounding joints and ligaments. It is effective due to rapid regeneration at the cellular level caused by increase localized oxygenation and blood supply. The pain relief is immediately followed by reduced inflammation.
Ozone is a highly reactive gas consisting of three oxygen atoms. A layer of ozone in the stratosphere of earth protects us from the ultraviolet radiation of the sun by absorbing it. Ozone has been used in medical treatments for over a century to improve oxygenation in the body to strengthen the immune system, initiate the healing process and inhibit infecting agents. Ozone therapy, which has been extensively utilized has well-documented effects on the regeneration of injuries and healing pain.
Although the main ingredient in Prolozone Therapy is Ozone, there are other chemicals such as B vitamins and some minerals to accelerate the healing process and reduce the pain.
Prolozone Therapy procedure is a simple and direct injection to your injured tissue. There are no risks involved with Prolozone Therapy since it is performed by a qualified naturopathic doctor in a safe integrative center. You can resume your daily life immediately after the treatment.
The number of injections depends on your ability to heal and severity of your injury, but if needed, you will have injections every 2 weeks until the pain completely eliminates and the injury is healing rapidly.
Prolozone Therapy was developed by Frank Shallenberger in 1990 and since then has been selected as a nonsurgical treatment to heal athletes, dancers and elderly suffering from joint injuries.
The most common pains treated by Prolozone Therapy include knee osteoarthritis, disc herniation of the lower back, rotator cuff injuries of the shoulder, and arthritic joints, but it is effective for any type of musculoskeletal and joint pain and sports injury.
PRP Therapy
PRP which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma is a regenerative therapy that uses your blood to initiate healing of your injury and alleviation of your pain.
Plasma is the liquid part of the blood. It is mostly water and proteins that act as a medium for red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to move inside the body. Platelet or Thrombocyte is a type of cell capable of clotting the blood and contains growth factors, which are essential for key stages of cell proliferation, tissue healing, and regeneration.
PRP is the same plasma with 10 times more platelets, which makes it more potent due to the concentration of healing proteins and growth factors.
The PRP procedure is quick and noninvasive. Blood is drawn from a vein in your arm and through the use of a harvesting machine such as a centrifuge, it separates to layers of platelets, red and white blood cells. Now concentrated platelets are injected to the site of your injury to activate and release Glycoproteins and growth factors to form a fibrin mesh under the tissue. When bind with cellular receptors of your skin, they initiate healing intercellular processes which invite stem cells to the injury site for the proliferation of new cells and production of extracellular matrix proteins. Healing takes place immediately within your tissue and will continue for up to 5 weeks after therapy.
Ultrasound imaging is usually utilized to guide the injection.
Since PRP uses your blood, it is safe and your body will not reject the therapy. It can be used as a stand alone treatment or in conjunction with other medical procedures.
The amount of blood needed depends on the severity of your injury but in general, 10-20 milliliters will suffice.
Your doctor will provide guidelines for your diet before the procedure, which include eating a healthy meal to avoid feeling weak resulting from blood drawing.
PRP usually takes an hour to complete and you can resume your normal activities immediately after injection unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
The treated area is numbed if needed; therefore, minimal pain is involved.
The purpose of PRP therapy is permanent nonsurgical tissue re-growth and repair, which unlike other injection treatments will not reabsorb or synthesize by bacteria. However, depending on the severity of your injury, you may require to follow up injections. Tissue healing can occur rapidly by PRP therapy due to rapid epithelial differentiation and enhanced dermal collagen organization.
Healing Sports injuries is the oldest application of PRP injection, which used to be treated by invasive medical procedures like surgery. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints have been healed and regenerated by top athletes allowing them to return to competitions. Ligaments tissue is more difficult to heal, which makes PRP an attractive noninvasive treatment for injuries to this tissue group.
In healing orthopedic and sports injuries, the focus is on hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to heal injured tendons and to reduce pain. Tendon pain is often caused by inflammation and HGF protects tissues from inflammatory damage. Patellar tendonitis (jumper’s knee), pulled hamstring muscles, Achilles tendonitis, and tennis elbow have positively responded to PRP therapy.
