Prolozone Therapy for Elbow Joint Pain
Elbow Joint
A lot of cases of elbow pain is due to joint instability due to weakened or sprained ligaments. This usually presents itself as tenderness along the ligament and tendon attachments of the elbow joint.
The pain can even radiate down the forearm into the wrist, leading some people to believe they have developed carpal tunnel syndrome.
Symptoms caused by Elbow Instability
- Crepitation (cracking) with movement
- Elbow pain
- Elbow popping
- Loss of range of motion
- Loss of muscle strength
- Numbness in fingers
- Muscle spasms
- Referral pain to the forearm
These symptoms can be signs of the following elbow pain conditions caused by elbow instability which are commonly treat with Prolozone therapy.
If the movement in the elbow joint is too much, it is likely that pain will appear. This is when patients have being diagnosed with joint instability.
Why is the joint unstable? Because the support structures, the ligaments and tendons, have been stretched and have become weakened.
Prolozone therapy for Elbow Joint
In about 80% of chronic elbow pain, a sprain of the annular ligament is the cause of the pain. This ligament is rarely examined by a family physician or an orthopedic surgeon.
Tennis elbow is also known as lateral epicondylitis and is commonly treated with cortisone injections in traditional medicine.
Unfortunately, cortisone tends to weaken tissue, whereas Prolozone therapy strengthens tissue.
Cortisone usually also provides temporary pain relief whereby Prolozone therapy tends to have permanent effects.
Repetitive use of cortisone will usually permanently weaken tissue. Anyone receiving long-term prednisone or cortisone injections can usually confirm this fact.
If medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) or lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow) is causing elbow pain, the muscles that attach to these areas are attempting to repair themselves, causing inflammation. Prolozone therapy helps strengthen these muscle attachments is very effective in eliminating chronic elbow pain.
Annular ligament and radial collateral ligament injuries are frequent causes of chronic elbow pain. The good news is that these might be effectively treated with Prolozone therapy.
FAQs
Prolozone Therapy is a minimally invasive, non-surgical regenerative treatment that combines ozone (a highly active form of oxygen) with healing nutrients to reduce pain and inflammation in the elbow. It promotes tissue repair, enhances circulation, and restores joint function by activating the body’s natural healing mechanisms - making it ideal for chronic elbow issues.
Yes, Prolozone Therapy is highly effective for common repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow. By delivering oxygen and nutrients directly into the affected area, it accelerates healing in ligaments and tendons, reducing pain without relying on medications or surgical intervention.
Most patients report noticeable improvement within 1 to 3 sessions. However, the degree and speed of relief can vary depending on the severity of the injury and how long it has been present. Continued treatment typically enhances long-term recovery and joint stability.
Prolozone Therapy is considered very safe with minimal risk of side effects. The injection process is usually well-tolerated, involving only mild discomfort. Any post-injection soreness is temporary and part of the body’s healing response, not a sign of complication.
Steroid injections only provide short-term relief by reducing inflammation and may weaken tissue over time. In contrast, Prolozone Therapy addresses the root cause by promoting tissue regeneration, strengthening ligaments and tendons, and supporting long-term elbow joint health - without the side effects of steroids.

Whilst working on her dad’s farm, 17 years ago, Sandra heard a loud crack in her back. Sandra had 6 steroid injections. She tried Physiotherapy, acupuncture and more but nothing helped. She kept getting worse and worse. The effect the pain was having spread beyond just Sandra. It was hurting everyone who loved her.
