Prolotherapy and ProlozoneTM injections use different sclerosing substances to regenerate, strengthen and heal tissues damaged by injury, wear and tear and as a result, control pain. Cortisone injection reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting the healing mechanism and acts against the normal body reaction that would lead to healing of the damaged tissues causing the pain. Damage tissues never heal correctly and pain comes back.

增生療法和臭氧增生療法注射使用不同的硬化物質來再生，加強和癒合受損傷，磨損的組織，從而控制疼痛。可的松注射(封針)通過抑制癒合機制來減少炎症和疼痛，並且對抗正常的身體反應，損傷組織永遠不會癒合，疼痛會恢復。

Injuries to ligaments, tendons and soft tissues of the appendicular skeleton cannot be visualized on x- rays, and as such, have largely been ignored as a potential source of chronic pain. Prolotherapy/Prolozone leads to healing of these soft tissues and thus controls the pain. The treatment is equally excellent for many different types of musculo-skeletal pain, including neck pain, unresolved whiplash, degenerated or herniated discs, carpal tunnel syndrome, torn tendons, TMJ syndrome, sciatica, heel spurs, neuromas, tennis elbow, rotator cuff tears, knee injuries, and virtually any other sports injury.

關節韌帶，肌腱和軟組織的損傷是慢性疼痛的潛在來源。因為不能在X光上顯現，這損傷很大程度上被忽視。 增生療法和臭氧增生療法會導致這些軟組織癒合，從而控制疼痛。

這類治療同樣適用於許多不同類型的肌肉 - 骨骼疼痛，包括頸部疼痛，未解決的鞭打頸傷，退化或椎間盤突出，腕管綜合徵，撕裂肌腱，顳下頜關節(Temporal Mandibular Joint)綜合徵，坐骨神經痛，足跟骨刺，神經瘤，網球肘，肩袖撕裂，膝蓋受傷，以及其他運動傷患。

Works by injecting a mixture of ozone, procaine, vitamin B12 and other nutrient preparations into soft tissues and/or ligaments or tendons where the pain is. This causes a localized inflammation and anabolic effect in these weak areas, which then increases the blood supply, and stimulates the deposition of fibroblasts, the cells which the body uses to repair damaged connective tissue. The high level of reactivity found in the unstable third atom of oxygen present in ozone, seems to initiate just the right level of inflammation, which when combined with the innate safety of ozone, makes it the ideal proliferating agent.

Although other proliferating agents can and have been used, ozone has three distinct advantages over these agents. First, it is gentler and causes less pain; moreover, it has strong antimicrobial activity, hence the chance of getting infection is minimal. Second, since it is a gas; it diffuses into the treated area more effectively, and is more likely to “find” the area of laxity. Hence, it will greatly improve the odds of healing. Lastly, there are no side effects with ozone, making it much more user friendly than other sclerosing substances.

通過將臭氧，普魯卡因，維生素B12和其他營養素製劑的混合物注入疼痛所在的軟組織和/或韌帶或肌腱中，在這些患區引起局部炎症和合成代謝作用，然後增加血液供應，並刺激成纖維細胞的沉積 (成纖維細胞是人體用來修復受損結締組織的細胞)。在臭氧中存在的不穩定的第三個氧原子反應引發恰當的炎症水平，與臭氧的先天安全性相結合時，使其成為理想的增生劑。

臭氧相對其他增生劑具有三個明顯的優點。首先，它更溫和，減少疼痛; 此外，它具有很強的抗菌活性，因此感染的可能性很小。第二，既然是氣體;它更有效地擴散到治療區域，更有效地透發到患區。因此，它可大大提高癒合的機率。最後，臭氧沒有副作用，比其他製劑更被患者接受。

The response to Prolozone injection varies from individual to individual, and depends upon one's healing ability. Some patients get significant results after the first or second treatments while some others may need as many as ten. The injections are repeated every 1-2 weeks. This is a distinction from classical sclerosing agents which often require from 5 – 10 painful treatments in order to see substantial results. ProlozoneTM therapy results actually represent a permanent fix. However, due to wear and tear, the patient may need a “booster” injection every year or so after the initial series. When ProlozoneTM therapy is administered correctly, there is an 85% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming completely pain free.

對臭氧增生注射的反應因人而異，大多取決於一個人的治愈能力。一些患者在第一次或第二次治療後獲得顯著效果，而另一些患者可能需要多達十次。每1至2週重複注射一次。這與傳統的藥劑有所不同，傳統的藥劑通常需要進行5至10次痛苦的治療才能看到明顯的效果。

臭氧增生治療是治愈的解決方案。然而，由於磨損，患者可能需要在初愈後每年左右進行一次“加強”注射。當臭氧增生療法正確使用時，慢性疼痛患者有85％的機會完全無痛。

The ozone in the injection can cause a local reaction or inflammation at the site of injection. Following the injection, the patient may be a little sore for a few days, although this is usually uncommon. Because the inflammation produced is very important for the healing process, it is important that the patient does not use any anti-inflammatory medications during the 48 hours after the injection. For the same reason, areas that have been previously treated with steroid or cortisone injections cannot be treated with ProlozoneTM until these injections have worn off.

注射中的臭氧可引起注射部位的局部反應或炎症。注射後，患者可能會有一點疼痛，但這是不常見的。因為產生的炎症對於癒合過程是非常重要，患者在注射後48小時內不得使用任何抗炎藥物。在同樣的原理下，臭氧增生療法要待類固醇或可的松注射治療效力消失后才能起作用。
