Prolotherapy/Prolozone® Therapy in Charlotte, NC

At Stem Cell Carolina, we offer Prolotherapy and Prolozone® Therapy, two innovative, non-surgical treatments that stimulate your body’s natural ability to repair and heal damaged tissues. These regenerative therapies are ideal for relieving chronic pain, repairing joint injuries, and improving mobility—without the risks or downtime associated with surgery. If you’re looking for a safe, effective solution to treat pain at its source, Prolotherapy and Prolozone® Therapy could be the answer.

What Are Prolotherapy and Prolozone® Therapy?

Prolotherapy is a regenerative treatment that involves injecting a natural solution, such as dextrose, into weakened or damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. This injection triggers your body’s natural healing response, promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and stabilising the treated area.

Prolozone® Therapy builds upon Prolotherapy by adding ozone (O3) to the injection. Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen that enhances the healing process by increasing oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the tissues. This dual-action therapy provides faster and more effective pain relief compared to Prolotherapy alone.

How Do Prolotherapy and Prolozone® Therapy Work?

These therapies target the root cause of pain by encouraging your body’s natural healing response. Here’s how they work:

  1. Injection of a Healing Solution: A natural solution (dextrose for Prolotherapy, or ozone for Prolozone®) is injected into the damaged tissue.
  2. Stimulation of Tissue Repair: The solution triggers an inflammatory response, which is the first step in the body’s healing process.
  3. Enhanced Oxygenation (Prolozone® Only): Ozone boosts oxygen delivery to tissues, accelerating the healing process and improving circulation.

The procedure is quick, typically taking 30–45 minutes, and is performed in-office under sterile conditions.
