Prolotherapy
We can use prolotherapy to soothe pain in virtually any joint. It works by essentially “tricking” the body into concentrating its innate healing ability on a specific area. All that the treatment involves is a simple injection containing a combination of lidocaine and dextrose (a type of sugar). First, the lidocaine numbs the area. Then, the dextrose agitates the nearby tissues without actually damaging them, triggering an inflammatory reaction that instigates the body’s natural healing process.
Prolozone
Prolozone (tm)therapy is a form of non-surgical ligament, tendon and joint reconstruction pioneered by Dr. Frank Shallenberger. Prolozone(tm) therapy is derived from the Latin word “proli” which means to proliferate, regenerate and rebuild. Unlike steroid injections which have many side effects and do not initiate any healing response in tissues Prolozone (tm) promotes healing of damaged tendons , ligaments and joints. This treatment uses ozone to stimulate growth factors, improve oxygen utilization, increase blood supply and the flow of healing nutrients to area of pain. More importantly it stimulates the deposition activity of fibroblasts and chondroblasts. These cells synthesize the collagen and cartilage that the body uses to repair damaged tendons ligaments and joints. This increase in cellular repair activity strengthens the injured tissues thereby stabilizing the area and resolving cause of pain. Our doctors at INSO utilize this innovative treatment to help decrease pain and heal injuries. These procedures are all performed under ultrasound guidance for accuracy and to avoid neurovascular structures.

Autografts – Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Autograft treatments encourage healing by using tissues from elsewhere on a patient’s body. With platelet-rich plasma (PRP), we run a sample of the patient’s blood through a centrifuge, which separates the blood into various base components. Next, we harvest the layer of plasma that contains high concentrations of platelets, proteins, and other growth factors meant to speed up the body’s recovery abilities. We can inject this solution into many possible areas of the body to stimulate the cell repair process, lower pain, and shorten the amount of time a patient spends healing.

Allograft – Amniotic Growth Factors
An allograft is similar to an autograft, but instead of utilizing a patient’s own tissues, it uses those given by a donor. To make use of amniotic growth factors, we harvest cells from amniotic fluid and inject them into a specific part of the body. These cells then allow the body to laser-focus its regenerative powers to the area where they have been administered. Essentially, this contributes to the development of healthy new cells that repair the damaged tissues, ultimately eliminating pain and restoring function.

Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a unique molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When it is applied to bodily tissues, it sparks a reaction that can instigate healing. For example, it can help to reduce inflammation, fight harmful pathogens, relieve pain from autoimmune disorders, and stimulate the release of your body’s own stem cells. Ozone therapy is a low-risk, non-invasive way to promote your musculoskeletal wellness and get you on the road to functioning and feeling your best.
