The shoulder is one of the most mobile joints in the body. It is also one of the body’s most unstable joint.
Shoulder instability due to ligament damage is often a common cause of shoulder pain. Shoulder instability often goes undiagnosed for years.
Typically, patients receive cycles of degenerative treatments like cortisone injections and ibuprofen to mask pain, or rounds of physiotherapy to address the muscles but these therapies will not address the cause of the pain and unfortunate fail to correct ligament laxity and degeneration.
Prolozone therapy can often effectively eliminate both acute and chronic shoulder pain without surgery.
Our team of practitioners helps all types of shoulder conditions including osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tear, ac sprain, glenoid labrum tear, frozen shoulder, tendinopathy, and more.
These symptoms can be signs of the following shoulder pain conditions caused by shoulder instability and respond well to Prolozone therapy.
In order to fix shoulder joint instability, the ligamentous and capsular structures need to be strengthened.
The glenoid labrum is the main capsular structure responsible for the stability of the shoulder joint. It holds the humerus bone to the glenoid cavity of the scapula.
Weakness in the supraspinatus tendon, acromioclavicular ligament laxity, a weakness in the glenohumeral ligament, are also common reasons for shoulder joint instability. Furthermore, acromioclavicular ligament laxity, a weakness of structures that attach to the coracoid process can be other caused of shoulder joint instability.
A shoulder is usually unstable because these structures are stretched and are partially torn.
If any of those structure these structures are stretched or loosened, exercise will not be sufficient to help the shoulder joint permanently hold it in place.
The biceps tendon slides into a grove and is stabilized and supported by the superior glenohumeral ligament, the coracohumeral ligament, and the distal attachment of the subscapularis tendon.
With shoulder instability it is common that the capsuloligamentous complex that makes up the biceps pulley system in also injured. This can result in any type of biceps tendon pain which can lead to tears, degeneration, or calcification.
Prolozone therapy injections are a more advanced, yet non-surgical, approach that directly stimulate repair of the structures.
The injections are done around the entire shoulder and depend on where the weakness and instability are located directly to the ligament and tendon attachments.
Since ligaments do not receive direct blood flow, Prolozone therapy allows for tissue regeneration and healing.
Usually, within a few treatments (3 to 6), the ligaments, tendons and capsule have strengthened enough to reduce or eliminate pain and provide a stability to the muscles to allow the patient to become active again. Prolozone therapy is an idea form of treatment for athletes and those who do physical work.
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.
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.
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.
Degenerative vs. Regenerative cascade. Traditional medical treatments often intensify the degenerative cascade whereas Prolozone therapy restores joint physiology and biomechanics.
Back or muscle strains can be the most common form of back pain, these can occur in a number of different ways. For example, sports injuries, incorrect posture when sitting for long periods of time, or when lifting. General wear and tear from an ageing spine can be a common cause, while more severe injuries to the back may occur as a result of a trauma from an accident, or perhaps as a result of back surgery.
Exercises are a fantastic way to strengthen muscles that support the spine, facilitate effective circulation and increase the flexibility of your body. Depending on the severity of a patient’s condition, exercises should be introduced into a treatment plan only when pain levels have decreased to a point where range of motion is not severely compromised. For example, if a patient is unable to put on a coat without feeling back pain, they may not feel confident to perform an exercise such as a lank. As a guideline, ProBack’s practitioners introduce gentle exercises into a treatment plan after the first six to twelve treatment sessions have been completed, although many will be ready to begin light exercises before this point.
The most common causes of lower back pain can often be as a result of a disc problem, for example Degenerative Disc Disease or a slipped disc. It is also possible to have muscle strains in the lower back area of the spine, this can be as a result of a sports injury or a result of having incorrect posture when doing everyday activities such as sitting for long periods of time or lifting.
Once the underlying cause of your back pain has been identified, we can discuss the degree to which we believe your condition can be corrected. Our aim at ProBack is to help to solve the problem as much as we can in the long run. With regular treatment and closely monitored spinal remodeling, we can help your condition to be as manageable as possible.

Vladimir’s story started with knee pain. He had experienced this for a number of years alongside an underlying back problem. After surgeries and multiple injections to his knee with no relief, his back pain only got worse. This forced Vladimir to stop working and spiral into depression.
