Prolozone Therapy for Knee Joint Pain
Knee Pain Treatment London
Knee Joint
The knee is the most common joint that we treat at our London clinic.
Most of our patients are looking for an alternative to knee surgery or even a solution post-surgical knee replacement pain. We help several patients overcome chronic stubborn knee pain. Our practitioners specialize in the most advance techniques to correct the underlying, and often undiagnosed cause of knee pain joint instability.
Either if you injured your ACL or knee meniscus, or have been struggling with knee arthritis or other pain for years, knee instability can be the cause of your pain, Prolozone could be the solution to help stabilize your knee and get rid of the pain.
Symptoms caused by Knee Instability
- Cracking sound with movement
- Knee pain
- Knee popping
- Knee swelling
- Loss of knee motion
- loss of muscle strength
- Muscle spasms
- Catching knee pain
- Referral lower leg pain
Knee pain often start with a traumatic event, such as a fall or a stretched like a football injury. Often, over time, the knee joint becomes stiff and can also become swollen. Knee joint instability is one of the most common cause of knee pain.
In several cases, patients knee instability goes undiagnosed which leads them to unnecessary knee surgery.
In cases of instability, weakness or tears of the ligaments and tendon attachments surrounding the knee joint causes debilitating pain. Knee instability can also result in the kneecap tracking abnormally, causing pain and the cartilage under the kneecap to wear down.
Arthritic Pain
Osteoarthritis is one of the most diagnosed joint diseases in the world. Patients usually experience chronic joint pain, joint stiffness, leading to weakness.
What most people do not realize is that cartilage loss could be due to the long-term joint instability from unresolved ligament trauma. Every time the joint moves, a wear and tear of the cartilage happens leading to the development of osteoarthritis.
Our practitioners can assess your joints and see if Prolozone therapy can help you. Prolozone therapy could even help you in case of residual pain following a joint replacement.
Our specialists treat osteoarthritis of most joints, including knees, shoulders, fingers, toes, ankles, and wrists, as well as the spine.
Symptoms Caused by Arthritis
- Crepitation (cracking) with movement
- Deep, aching joint pain
- Grinding sensation
- Joint swelling and tenderness
- Loss of muscle strength
- Muscle tenderness
- Reduced range of movement
- Stiffness
How Ligaments and Tendons Injuries Lead to Degenerative Arthritis
Following an injury, like a fall, a sport injury or a car accident, it is very common for ligaments become sprained and injured. If left untreated, chronic joint instability can lead to destructive joint motion ultimately leading to extensive degenerative changes and osteoarthritis.
Often, destructive joint motion and the joint degenerative process can be prevented with appropriate intervention through Prolozone therapy.
How Soft Tissue Injury Leads to Degenerative Arthritis?
Following a trauma, ligaments can become sprained and “loose”. If left untreated, the joint instability can result in destructive joint motion ultimately leading to extensive degenerative changes and osteoarthritis.
Our regenerative treatments can be used for arthritic joints as well, but early interventions can potentially save a lot time and improve quality of life significantly.
New view of Pathophysiology of Osteoarthritis
Often, osteoarthritis, or degeneration of a joint or spine, starts with ligament injury. Prolozone therapy could be a great solution to joints and ligaments injuries.
Hopefully, over time, traditional medicine will accept Prolozone therapy further as a part of generative medicine.
⇒ Ligament injury (laxity and partial tear)
⇒ Decreased tension on the bone at ligament-bone insertion site
⇒ Altered joint movement (instability) – increased force on subchondral bone
⇒ Subchondral bone sclerosis (thickening)
⇒ Reduction in shock absorbing bone capacity
⇒ Increase pressure between the cartilage surfaces
⇒ Cartilage wear and tear and subsequent joint degeneration worsens
⇒ Cartilage breaks off (loose bodies) and bone spurs form to try to stabilize joint
Regenerative injection technique such as Prolozone therapy helps stimulate repair and integrity of ligaments, ligament bone junction which is often the primary source of the pain.
Most importantly, Prolozone therapy initiate cartilage repair.
Prolozone Therapy for Arthritic Pain
Degenerative vs. Regenerative cascade. Traditional medical treatments often intensify the degenerative cascade whereas Prolozone therapy restores joint physiology and biomechanics.
Common Causes of Knee Joint Pain
Knee joint pain can arise from several conditions, including:
- Osteoarthritis
- Meniscus tears
- Ligament injuries
- Cartilage degeneration
- Overuse or repetitive stress injuries
If left untreated, these issues may progress and lead to chronic pain or restricted movement.
How Prolozone Therapy Works for Knee Joint Pain
Prolozone therapy for knee paininvolves injecting a mixture of ozone gas, vitamins, and minerals into the affected area. This process:
- Increases oxygen supply to damaged tissues
- Reduces inflammation and swelling
- Stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms
- Enhances joint lubrication and mobility
Patients often report reduced pain and improved function after just a few sessions.
Benefits of Prolozone Therapy for Knee Joint Pain
Some key benefits include:
- Non-surgical treatment option
- Minimal downtime with quick recovery
- Long-term pain relief and improved stability
- Effective for arthritis, ligament injuries, and degenerative knee conditions
FAQs
Muscle imbalances around the knee and thigh, lack of mobility in the hip, impact injuries caused by sports can all cause knee pain. One of the most common causes we see at ProBack Clinics is arthritis, caused by degeneration of the cartilage in the knee. Knee conditions can also be brought on by other problems within your body. For example, an issue in the spine can make joints move incorrectly. This can create more pressure on the knee as it bears the weight of the body.
Depending on where the knee pain is coming from, we usually customise a treatment that would best suit the patient condition. For example, we see very good results with injecting ozone (O3) into the knee joint whenever there is some level of degeneration.
Also, we always examine the ligaments surrounding the knee joint. The reason being that if the patient suffered a previous ligament injury, the knee may have a tendency to be « unstable » and usually, using Prolozone will help stabilise the joint and tend to help greatly with the healing process.
To rehabilitate the knee area, we need to find the underlying cause of the problem. To do that, we carry out a thorough examination so we can understand the condition of your body and your individual needs. For some people, going straight into exercising an injured area is a very bad idea – it can cause more harm than good. Instead, we recommend introducing gentle exercises once your condition has improved and exercises are tolerable. For patients whose injuries have been caused by sports or working out at the gym, we advise that they should stop their gym or training programme until their condition is well managed.

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.
