At Balance Health Centre, we are proud to offer specialist Prolozone therapy to patients across Manchester, providing access to a treatment that remains available at only a small number of clinics nationwide.

Prolozone therapy is a targeted injection treatment that combines medical ozone with essential nutrients, designed to support the repair of joints and surrounding structures. This includes cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, the meniscus, and bursae that may have been affected by injury, degeneration, or ongoing pain and weakness.

By increasing oxygen availability at the treatment site, Prolozone therapy encourages the body’s natural repair processes to activate more effectively. As damaged tissue begins to recover, joints often become stronger, more stable, and less restricted, helping to reduce pain and stiffness over time.

For many people in Manchester, Prolozone therapy offers a non-surgical alternative worth exploring before more invasive options are considered. If you would like to discuss whether this treatment may be suitable for you, we invite you to book a free consultation with our team.

Understanding Prolozone Therapy

Prolozone therapy is a regenerative injection treatment available to patients in Manchester who want to address the root causes of joint and soft tissue pain rather than simply masking symptoms. It uses a precise combination of medical ozone with vitamins, minerals, and natural nutrients to support tissue repair.

The goal of Prolozone therapy is to stimulate the body’s own healing response, helping to restore strength and function in joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles, and other soft tissues affected by injury or degeneration.

The treatment was developed by American physician Dr Frank Shallenberger, whose work focused on the medical use of ozone to support cellular repair. By improving oxygen delivery and cellular function in injured areas, Prolozone therapy encourages the repair of tissues that have become painful, inflamed, or weakened over time.

How Does Prolozone Therapy Work?

Prolozone treatment is a simple, structured process that involves targeted injections into the affected areas. For patients in Manchester, treatment plans are always tailored to the individual rather than applied as a fixed course.

Response to Prolozone therapy varies from person to person and depends on factors such as the severity of the injury, how long symptoms have been present, and the body’s natural healing capacity. Some people may notice improvement after one or two sessions, while others may require a longer course of treatment.

As treatment progresses, we regularly review how you are responding and adjust recommendations accordingly. Injections are typically spaced one to two weeks apart and continue until optimal improvement is reached.

In some cases, Prolozone therapy can lead to a significant reduction in symptoms and, for certain patients, a complete resolution of long-standing pain or stiffness that has been present for many years.

The Benefits Of Prolozone Therapy

Prolozone injections offer a natural way to support healing in areas that have become painful, weakened, or slow to recover. For patients across Manchester, the treatment works by delivering medical ozone and supportive nutrients directly into injured tissues, encouraging the body to repair itself rather than simply covering up symptoms. Key benefits of Prolozone therapy include:

✅ Supports tissue repair by improving oxygen use within ligaments, tendons, and cartilage
✅ Helps reduce ongoing pain by addressing the underlying cause, not just easing discomfort
✅ Improves joint stability and movement, particularly in irritated or worn joints
✅ Assists in lowering inflammation, which can reduce stiffness and swelling
✅ Suitable for both recent injuries and long-term conditions, including arthritis and sports-related strains
✅ May help delay or avoid more invasive options such as steroid injections or surgery
✅ Little to no downtime, making it easier to fit treatment around everyday life

Prolozone therapy offers a gentle, regenerative option for people in Manchester who want to restore mobility and manage persistent pain in a more natural, long-lasting way. If you would like to book a free consultation, our team at Balance Health Centre would be happy to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.

Our Prolozone Case Studies

We have helped many people across Manchester through our Prolozone therapy treatments. Below, you can watch a selection of patient videos where clients share their own experiences and explain how Prolozone therapy has supported their recovery and improved their quality of life.

What Happens At An Appointment?

Appointments are designed to fit easily into your day, with injections carried out quickly and efficiently. Patients attending our Manchester clinic can usually return to normal activities shortly afterwards.

If you are currently taking any medication, please bring details with you to your appointment. Having a clear understanding of your current medication helps us tailor a treatment plan that is safe and appropriate for you.

We also recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing. As part of your assessment and treatment, we may use hands-on techniques such as gentle manipulation, stretching, and massage to support joint mobility and overall movement.

Will Prolozone Therapy Help Me?

Prolozone therapy may be a suitable option if you are dealing with pain that repeatedly returns or an injury that never seems to fully settle. For many people in Manchester, it is considered when tissues need support to restart the healing process, rather than simply numbing pain for short-term relief.

Prolozone therapy could be right for you if:

✅ You experience joint, tendon, or ligament pain that feels weak, unstable, or slow to recover
✅ You are managing long-standing conditions such as arthritis or persistent back or neck pain
✅ You want a treatment that encourages natural repair rather than temporary symptom control
✅ You have tried options like physiotherapy, rest, or pain medication without lasting improvement
✅ Your pain eases briefly but returns with activity or everyday movement
✅ You prefer a minimally invasive approach with little disruption to daily life

A thorough assessment with one of our practitioners will help determine whether Prolozone therapy is appropriate for your condition and whether it is likely to offer meaningful, long-term relief.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Below, you can find answers to common questions about our Prolozone therapy treatment in Manchester, helping you understand how the therapy works and whether it may be right for you.

Yes. Prolozone therapy is available on a private basis for patients living in Manchester and the surrounding areas. Our clinic regularly treats people from across Manchester who are seeking a specialist, non-surgical option for joint and soft tissue pain.

No. While Prolozone therapy is related to both, it is a distinct treatment. Prolotherapy focuses on stimulating repair through irritant solutions, while ozone therapy typically uses ozone alone. Prolozone therapy combines medical ozone with vitamins, minerals, and nutrients to support tissue repair, oxygen use, and joint stability in a more comprehensive way.

A typical Prolozone therapy session lasts around 30 to 45 minutes. This includes review of your symptoms, assessment where needed, and the injection treatment itself. Appointments are designed to be efficient, making them easy to fit into a working day.

Results vary depending on the condition being treated, how long symptoms have been present, and individual healing response. Many patients experience long-lasting improvement as Prolozone therapy aims to support tissue repair rather than provide temporary pain relief. Your practitioner will discuss realistic expectations during your assessment.

Prolozone therapy is often considered by people who have already tried physiotherapy, rest, or pain medication without lasting results. It may be appropriate where tissues remain weak, unstable, or slow to heal, and where additional support is needed to restart the repair process. A proper assessment is required to confirm suitability.

While we serve patients from Manchester, our clinic is located on Birchfield Road, Widnes. Widnes is easily accessible from Manchester by car or public transport, with direct routes via the M62 and regular train services. Many Manchester patients choose to travel to us specifically for specialist Prolozone therapy.

Yes. In addition to Manchester, we regularly treat patients from across Greater Manchester and nearby areas, including Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Oldham, Wigan, Altrincham, Warrington, and St Helens.
