No. Prolozone uses oxygen to create a healing. Prolotherapy uses inflammation to create the healing.  Although we found that it was often effective, it had the following limitations and Prolotherapy is extremely painful.
Pain usually persists for days to weeks after a treatment. Patients receiving Prolozone feel immediate improvement, with very little to any pain at all during the treatments. Next, prolotherapy requires many injections, whereas Prolozone only requires a few. This means that Prolozone is faster and much more cost effective. Prolozone therapy is especially effective in regenerating the cartilage in damaged knees and hips. Prolotherapy is not able to do this.
