If you’re living with ongoing joint or musculoskeletal pain, you’re not alone—millions of Americans experience these challenges daily. While many turn to medications or conventional procedures, some people explore other options, including Prolozone Therapy®.
Prolozone Therapy® involves injecting a mixture that may include nutrients, a local anesthetic, and ozone gas into targeted tissues. Some practitioners believe this process may support circulation, reduce discomfort, and promote the body’s natural repair mechanisms.
Important Note: Prolozone Therapy® has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of any medical condition. Scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness is still limited, and individual results can vary. This information is provided for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice or a promise of specific outcomes.

What Is Prolozone Therapy® ?
Prolozone Therapy® is a type of injection-based treatment sometimes used in alternative and integrative medicine for joint, ligament, tendon, or musculoskeletal pain.
The process generally involves two steps:
Ozone Gas – A form of oxygen (O₃) is then introduced. Practitioners believe its reactivity may help support circulation, oxygen delivery, and tissue repair.
Nutrient/Anesthetic Solution – A mixture that may include vitamins, minerals, homeopathic agents, and local anesthetic is injected into or around the affected area.
Conditions Sometimes Addressed with Prolozone Therapy®
Practitioners may recommend Prolozone Therapy® as a supportive option for people experiencing:
- Degenerated spinal discs
- Rotator cuff damage
- Chronic back aches
- Sciatica
- Osteoarthritis of the hips and knees
- Elbow and shoulder pain
- Sports injuries
- Carpal tunnel
- Fibromyalgia
- Plantar Fasciitis
Disclaimer: Evidence is still emerging, and while some studies and anecdotal reports suggest potential benefits, Prolozone Therapy® should be considered experimental. It may not be effective for every patient or condition.
What to Expect During a Prolozone Therapy® Treatment ?
- Patients are typically encouraged to be well-hydrated and eat before treatment.
- A local anesthetic may be used for comfort.
- Injections are performed in the office and may cause temporary soreness or swelling at the injection site.
- Some people report feeling improvement after one session, while others may need multiple treatments.
Note: Response to treatment varies. Some patients report noticeable changes in mobility or pain levels, while others experience little or no improvement.

Prolozone Therapy® vs. Prolotherapy
While both Prolozone Therapy® and prolotherapy involve injections intended to stimulate healing responses, they differ in composition:
- Prolozone Therapy® includes nutrients, anesthetics, and ozone gas.
- Prolotherapy typically uses a solution designed to create mild irritation and stimulate repair, without ozone.
Neither treatment is FDA-approved, and both are considered complementary/alternative therapies.
Safety and Side Effects
When performed by a trained provider, Prolozone Therapy® is generally considered low-risk. Possible side effects include localized discomfort, swelling, or inflammation at the injection site. Severe side effects are uncommon but may occur. A licensed physician will evaluate each patient’s medical history before recommending treatment.
How Much Does Prolozone Therapy® Cost?
Because Prolozone Therapy® is considered an alternative treatment, it is not typically covered by insurance. At Balanced Physician Care, current pricing includes:
- New Patient Consultation + Injection: $450
- Starter Package (Consultation + 3 Treatments): $1100
Key Takeaway
Prolozone Therapy® is an investigational, non-surgical treatment option offered by some integrative physicians for patients with joint pain or musculoskeletal concerns. While some individuals report improvements, results are not guaranteed, and research remains ongoing. Patients should consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine whether this approach is appropriate for their needs.
