What is Prolozone Therapy? It is an advanced form of prolotherapy in the UK which has built a reputation for achieving results when all other treatments have failed. Published research indicates that it supports the recovery of and strengthens the following structures of the body: joints, cartilage, spinal discs, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves, meniscus, labrum, and bursa. We treat all areas of the body, including the head, neck, jaw, back, shoulders, knees, hips, arms, legs, elbows, wrists, fingers, ankles, feet, toes, pelvis, sacroiliac joints, sacrum, and coccyx.
Prolozone Therapy uses a concentrated form of oxygen. Standard Prolotherapy use an irritant in the form of sugar (dextrose solution) to cause an inflammatory response. This inflammatory response helps to stimulate healing but has the following limitations: Standard dextrose prolotherapy can be extremely painful and sometimes requires gas and air during the procedure. The pain experienced during a Prolozone Therapy procedure is minimal.
It takes much longer to reach the repair phase with standard dextrose Prolotherapy, meaning that Prolozone Therapy achieves results in a faster time-frame.
Standard dextrose Prolotherapy requires many appointments, whereas Prolozone Therapy only requires a few, making it much less expensive for the patient.
Prolozone Therapy also has the ability to spread further around the treatment site, meaning it not only has a positive effect on the injury itself, but also the surrounding tissues and joints that may also have been under strain due to compensation.
Our patients have reported Prolozone Therapy has helped them to achieve results where standard dextrose Prolotherapy has either failed or only provided temporary relief.
PLEASE NOTE: We do also offer standard dextrose Prolotherapy for individuals who would prefer to have it for any reason.
Having performed over 10,000 procedures, Mr Eaton is one of the UK’s leading practitioners in the field of Prolotherapy and Prolozone Therapy, with patients travelling to see him from across the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.
He first trained in Prolozone Therapy and Prolotherapy in America with the American Academy of Ozonotherapy and continued on to complete further training with the Royal Society of Medicine, Charing Cross Hospital in London, Keele University’s Anatomy & Surgical Training Centre, and the medical department of Heidelberg University in Germany.
Mr Eaton developed his treatment and examination approach through the process of treating his own chronic pain and is committed to making sure his patients experience the same life-changing effects that his treatments had on him.
Over the years he has had the privilege of treating many elite-level athletes, including both Olympic and Commonwealth medallists.
Our clinical audits show that 95% of our patients experience results with our treatment.
Our success rate is higher than what is typically stated in studies, as we often combine the treatment with other advanced rehabilitation treatments within the same appointment as the injections to enhance the results.
For the 5% of patients that fail to experience any results or pain relief, we help to point them in the right direction of another practitioner or therapy that may be able to help.
The speed at which an individual starts to experience symptom relief is all dependent on the type of pain condition that they come in to see us with.
Some patients start to experience relief after a few hours, some after a few days, and some not until a few weeks after their third appointment. 80% of our patients start to experience results after just one appointment.
Your practitioner will start by taking down a full medical case history. This will involve asking you detailed questions about your current symptoms, and any previous conditions or incidents that may have had an influence.
Many individuals come to see us because they have failed to experience relief with other therapies. Sometimes we find that the issue wasn’t necessarily with the other therapies themselves, but the fact that the practitioner performing that therapy may not have accurately assessed and examined the individual properly to start with, and therefore not applied the therapy appropriately.
This is why we conduct a thorough examination using computerized biomechanical technology to help identify issues and imbalances in the body that previous practitioners may not have identified. The information that our technology provides helps us to perform more targeted and effective treatment for our patients.
Unfortunately, the treatment isn’t offered on the NHS at this point in time.
Most patients are able to go about their daily activities straight away after the treatment. It is advised to modify any strenuous activity for a few days.
It is normal to experience pain and discomfort around the procedure site for a few days as part of the repair process, but it shouldn’t stop you from continuing on with your daily activities.
It is common to experience temporary bruising at the treatment site. Using an ice pack may help for the first 6-12 hours after the procedure. Then, only heat is helpful in the healing process.
We advise you to avoid public hot tubs, swimming pools, and lakes for 3 days following each appointment to avoid the treatment site being exposed to bacteria. You are allowed to have a shower or bath during this time.
According to the International Scientific Committee of Ozone Therapy: Ozone does not cause side effects, does not cause allergic reactions and in general, there are no interactions with other drugs.
When administered in tailored amounts by a qualified practitioner, the chances of experiencing adverse reactions are extremely small. For example, a German study on 384,775 patients evaluating the adverse side effects of over five million treatment appointments found that the rate of adverse side effects was only 0.0007 per application.
We always leave enough time during your first visit for treatment. If you are a complex case and multiple areas need treating, then please notify the receptionist upon booking, as you may require a double-slot appointment.
The treatment has been used in Europe since the 1950’s. It is most commonly used in Germany with over 7000 practitioners offering the treatment to help provide chronic musculoskeletal symptom relief.
