Prolozone Therapy
Non-Surgical Injections for Joint, Muscle & Spinal Pain
At Leigh Injection Clinic, we offer Prolozone therapy and prolotherapy for patients exploring non-surgical injection options for musculoskeletal and spinal conditions.
Prolozone combines prolotherapy techniques with medical ozone. Our clinicians provide targeted injection procedures for selected joint, tendon, ligament and spinal presentations, with treatment tailored to each patient.
What Is Prolozone Therapy?
Prolozone is an injection treatment that combines prolotherapy solutions with medical ozone, an oxygen-ozone gas mixture.
The procedure involves injections into selected joints, ligaments, tendons and surrounding musculoskeletal tissues. Prolozone is also offered at our clinic for selected spinal presentations.
Each treatment plan is based on your symptoms, clinical examination and individual needs.
How Does Prolozone Therapy Work?
Prolozone combines two injection techniques:
Prolotherapy: Involves injecting a solution, commonly dextrose-based, into targeted musculoskeletal tissues.
Medical Ozone: An oxygen-ozone gas mixture administered to the selected treatment area.
These components form the Prolozone procedure, with the injection technique and treatment schedule tailored to the area being treated.

The prolotherapy solution and medical ozone are administered to the selected musculoskeletal or spinal treatment area using the appropriate technique.

Prolozone vs Prolotherapy
Both approaches involve targeted injections, but differ in their composition.
Prolotherapy typically involves a dextrose-based solution injected into selected musculoskeletal tissues.
Prolozone therapy incorporates medical ozone alongside prolotherapy principles.
Our clinicians will explain the differences and discuss the options appropriate for your circumstances.
