Prolotherapy and Prolozone Therapy. Injection of tissue proliferant (like ozone, dextrose, etc.) inside the joint and around the joint reduces pain, inflammation and its highly effective, non-surgical medical treatment for resolving ligament and tendon injuries. “Prolo” is short form of proliferation, because the treatment causes the proliferation of new connective tissue and recruit new healing cells.
PRP has two elements: plasma, or the liquid portion of blood, and platelets, a type of blood cell that plays an important role in healing throughout the body. Platelets are well-known for their clotting abilities, but they also contain growth factors that can trigger cell reproduction and stimulate tissue regeneration or healing in the treated area.After creating platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood sample, that solution is injected into the target area, such as an injured knee or a tendon.The idea is to increase the concentration of specific bioproteins or hormones, called growth factors, in a specific area to accelerate the healing process.
The term, “Orthobiologics” is a combination of Ortho (referring to the bones, joints, muscles, and tendons) and biologics, which in this context refers to substances that are naturally derived and can heal orthopedic tissues. Common Orthobiologics include platelet-rich plasma, bone marrow concentrate, certain fat grafts, and birth tissues. These substances are either autologous or allogeneic and they can help bones, joints, muscles, or tendons heal if they are precisely injected or placed.
Intradiscal ozone in most of patients works as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of back, leg or arm pain caused by a herniated or a prolapsed lumbar or cervical disc. Its a injection of medical grade ozone in the disc (ozone discectomy) with a success rate of 80% at par with surgical treatment and with minimal or no complications.
Extraforaminal epidural and Nerve injection,Facet joint injection and SacroIliac injections are alternative methods to avoid surgery and pain relief
