Prolozone Therapy in Murrieta CA

Prolozone therapy is an advanced oxygen injection in Murrieta CA that uses ozone and nutrients to help regenerate damaged joints, ligaments, and tendons. It was developed and pioneered by Dr. Frank Shallenberger and has helped many people reduce or eliminate chronic pain without surgery.

At An Optimal You, we offer Prolozone therapy in Murrieta CA for patients with joint pain, sports injuries, and degenerative conditions. Many patients from Murrieta, Menifee, and prolozone Temecula area communities come to us looking for a more regenerative approach to pain.

What Is Prolozone

The word Prolozone comes from:

  • “Proli” (Latin) meaning to regenerate or rebuild
  • “Ozone,” the most active form of oxygen

Prolozone uses a combination of:

This blend is injected into and around the painful or damaged area. The goal is to stimulate true healing and regeneration of tissues, not just mask pain.

Because Prolozone targets the underlying pathology, many chronic pain sufferers have a strong chance of long term or even permanent relief.

How Prolozone Works

The difference between injuries that fully heal and those that remain painful often comes down to circulation. Damaged tissues need:

  • Oxygen
  • Nutrients (vitamins and minerals)
  • Good blood flow

When oxygen is low, lactic acid builds up and pain increases. Prolozone works in three main steps:

  1. Reduce inflammation and improve circulation
    Homeopathic anti inflammatory medications are injected into the area to calm inflammation and open blood flow.

  2. Provide key nutrients for healing
    Vitamins and minerals that support tissue repair are added to the injection.

  3. Deliver activated oxygen (ozone)
    The area is then infiltrated with ozone, providing a powerful oxygen stimulus to jump start healing.

As tissues heal and circulation improves, pain often decreases or resolves. Most people need about 3 to 5 treatments, spaced out over several weeks, depending on the severity and location of the problem.

Is Prolozone the Same as Prolotherapy

Is Prolozone the Same as Prolotherapy

No. Prolozone and prolotherapy are related but different:

  • Prolotherapy
    Uses irritating solutions to create inflammation and trigger healing. It can be effective but is often very painful and may require many injections and sessions.

  • Prolozone
    Uses oxygen and nutrients to stimulate healing with far less discomfort. Most patients experience immediate or rapid improvement with minimal pain during or after treatment. Fewer injections and fewer sessions are typically needed.

Prolozone is especially effective for regenerating cartilage in damaged knees and hips, an area where traditional prolotherapy often struggles.

Conditions That Can Be Treated With Prolozone

Prolozone can be used for many musculoskeletal and joint problems, including:

  • Osteoarthritis of the knee, hip, shoulder, or spine
  • Rotator cuff injuries and shoulder pain
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Torn or strained tendons and ligaments
  • Neuromas and certain nerve entrapments
  • TMJ and some jaw related pain
  • Many sports injuries and overuse conditions

Because Prolozone supports actual tissue repair and cartilage regeneration, it is more than a temporary pain treatment. For many, it represents a long term fix.

Oxygen Injection in Murrieta CA – What to Expect

As an oxygen injection in Murrieta CA, Prolozone is performed in office by a doctor, PA, or NP who is trained in the technique.

A typical visit includes:

Evaluation of the painful area

We review your history, perform a focused exam, and may review imaging if available.

Preparation of the injection site

The skin is cleaned and, if needed, numbed for comfort.

Injection of nutrients and anesthetic

A blend of vitamins, minerals, and a gentle anesthetic is injected into and around the affected area.

Injection of ozone (O3)

Medical ozone is then injected slowly into the same region to stimulate healing.

Most patients tolerate the procedure well. Some feel immediate relief, while others notice gradual improvement over several days. A series of treatments is often needed for full benefit.
