We offer specialist Prolozone therapy, injections and treatments in Liverpool to help with joint pain, weakness and degeneration
Here at Balance Health Centre, we’re proud to be one of the few specialist prolozone therapy clinics in the country.
Prolozone therapy involves the injection of medical ozone and nutrients to repair joints, cartilage, muscles, tendons, ligaments, meniscus, and bursae that may have suffered degeneration, injury, or become painful and weak.
It essentially stimulates the body to repair damaged tissue and cartilage.
This increase in repair activity strengthens and tightens the injured tissues, providing greater stability to the injured area, and in many cases, removes pain and stiffness.
Prolozone is a much preferred alternative to surgery, so if you’d like to speak with us now to get a free consultation, please click below.

EXCELLENT Based on 53 reviews Posted on Carol MorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My brother and nephew have both attended this clinic and highly recommended them. My mum who is 80 has been suffering from pain in her lower back. Shes very independent and it was causing her not just pain but anxiety. I took her along and she was seen by Elliot, we can’t thank him enough he explained her problem in a way we could understand which was very reassuring he treated her back and gave sound advice. We can see a huge improvement in her mobility she’s able to walk further, go shopping and she is happier in herself. I said it’s like she’s been to Lourdes 😂 Thanks again Elliot for helping my lovely mum xxPosted on michelle woodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the pleasure of experiencing colonic irrigation therapy with my therapist, Nicola, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and at ease. Nicola's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the session. She took the time to explain the process in detail and answered all my questions with patience and care. During the therapy, she ensured my comfort and provided a relaxing environment, which made the experience much more enjoyable. I left feeling lighter, more energized, and with a newfound sense of well-being. Nicola’s holistic approach and genuine concern for her clients truly set her apart. If you are considering colonic irrigation therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a session with Nicola. You won't regret it! less...Posted on jonathan evasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having suffered for 30 years with a bad back that has got gradually worse over the years, I was pointed in this direction. What a transformation Mike has made to me & my quality of well being, I have gone from struggling to get in & out of the car, from walking any distance to what I can do now. After the 1st session my movement was amazing the pain had been reduced to almost nothing, a further 4 sessions and I walked over 70 miles in 6 days on holiday. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike and his team, these are truely magic at what they do, I guarantee you will not be disappointedPosted on danny mcdonaldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say went in full of pain came out feeling a new man couldn't recommend highly enoughPosted on Courtley ExecutiveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn’t recommend a better professional and friendlier place. As I drive for a living I go once a month for my back and they’re brilliant!!

An amazing clinic offering great treatments. Staff very welcoming, helpful and friendly xPosted on Julie BurnsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Monday this week, I attended local A&E hospital with severe pain, muscle and nerve damage following a fall few days earlier. I called Balance Tuesday, attended later same day, Elliott listened to the detail of pain and got straight to work. I left feeling 50% relief, I returned 2 days later for another session with Elliot with added prolozone injections with Mike. Today is Saturday, I'm walking, I am pain free and feeling on top of the world. I really can't thank Elliot/Mike enough as I'm now able to go on holiday as planned in coming days. Don't suffer with pain, reach out, these are the best around....🙌Posted on Oliver StanleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Prolozone therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses a precise injection of medical ozone combined with vitamins, minerals, and natural nutrients to help repair damaged or weakened tissues. The aim is to stimulate the body’s own healing response so that joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles, and other soft tissues can regenerate rather than simply mask pain.
The approach was originally developed by American physician Dr Frank Shallenberger, who has spent decades studying the medical use of ozone. The term Prolozone comes from the idea of “proliferation therapy,” meaning to rebuild, restore, and strengthen damaged structures, combined with the healing properties of medical ozone.
In simple terms, prolozone therapy works by improving oxygen delivery and cellular function in injured areas, which encourages the body to repair tissues that have become painful, inflamed, or degenerated over time. It is commonly used for chronic joint pain, sports injuries, osteoarthritis, back and neck pain, and ligament weakness.
Prolozone is a revolutionary form of treatment that can help with a wide range of problems. Here is a handy overview of the types of injuries it can help with:
Arthritis Of Any Joint
Inflammation, stiffnessSpinal Disc Herniations/Protrusions
Disc bulge, nerve irritationTorn Tendons
Strain, partial or full tearTennis Elbow
Lateral elbow painNeck Pain
Muscular or disc originSciatica
Leg pain, nerve compressionFibromyalgia
Widespread pain & fatigueWhiplash
Sudden neck acceleration injuryPlantar Fascitis
Heel pain, first stepsLow Back Pain
Mechanical or nerve basedSacroilac Joint (SL Joint)
Pelvic joint dysfunctionKnee Injuries
Meniscus, ligament, patellaProlozone treatment is straightforward, involving injections to the affected areas.
The response to treatment varies from individual to individual and depends upon your healing ability and level of injury. Some people may only need one or two treatments, whilst others will require more.
After the first few treatments, we’ll assess how you are responding and advise you regarding further treatments.
The injection process is repeated every 1-2 weeks until maximum improvement is achieved. Prolozone therapy can result in a complete absence of symptoms, even in patients who have had symptoms for several years.
Prolozone injections offer a natural way to support healing in areas that have become painful, weak, or slow to recover. By delivering medical ozone and nutrients directly into injured tissues, it helps the body repair itself rather than masking symptoms. Here are the key benefits to the treatment:
✅ Supports tissue repair by improving oxygen use in ligaments, tendons, and cartilage.
✅ Reduces chronic pain by targeting the underlying cause instead of just easing discomfort.
✅ Improves joint stability and movement, especially in worn or irritated joints.
✅ Helps lower inflammation, which can ease stiffness and swelling.
✅ Suitable for both new and long-term injuries, including arthritis and sports strains.
✅ May delay more invasive treatments, such as steroid injections or surgery.
✅ Little to no downtime, making it easy to fit into everyday life.
It is a gentle, regenerative option for people looking to restore mobility and reduce ongoing pain in a more natural, long-lasting way. If you’d like to book a free consultation, reach out to our expert team here at Balance Health Centre.
Prolozone is a technical field and one that requires lots of knowledge and expertise of the body and joints. Michael Furlong is our Prolozone expert practitioner.
Michael is a fully qualified osteopath and has undergone specialist training at the world-renowned European School of Prolotherapy and is the first non-Italian to attain the prestigious qualification.
We’ve successfully treated many people with our prolozone therapy. Below, you can find some videos from our clients explaining how the treatment has helped them.
Appointments do not take up too much of your time, with injections quick and simple.
If you are currently taking any medication, please bring this with you. Understanding what you’re currently taking will help us when it comes to a treatment plan.
It’s also important to dress appropriately. We use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to help increase your joint mobility. Please ensure you wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Prolozone can be a good fit if you are dealing with pain that keeps returning or an injury that never seems to heal fully. It is designed for people whose tissues need a boost to start repairing themselves again, rather than those looking for a quick numbing effect.
Prolozone could be a good option for you if:
✅ You have joint, tendon, or ligament pain that feels weak, unstable, or slow to improve.
✅ You have long-term issues like arthritis or chronic back and neck pain.
✅ You want a treatment that supports natural healing, not just symptom relief.
✅ You have tried other options such as physiotherapy, rest, or pain medication without lasting results.
✅ Your pain worsens with activity or feels better temporarily but always returns.
✅ You prefer a minimally invasive treatment with little downtime.
A proper assessment with a practitioner will confirm if prolozone suits your condition and whether it is likely to bring you meaningful relief.

Our Prolozone treatment costs £225 per session. This includes the initial consultation and a full diagnostic assessment, a full review of your case history and health goals, a physical examination, and the prolozone injection treatment itself.
Ozone is injected into the soft tissue of a pre-identified painful area. The ozone enters the area; it doesn’t have to be ultra-specific, as it spreads throughout the adjacent tissues. Ozone enters the cells and basically fires the cells into working again, reducing pain and starting a healing process. There is no limit on injections and no reported side effects like cortisone.
Because the injections start a repair process, it works with 90% of people, and 75% don’t need to come back. However, this does depend on the severity of the problem and the length of time you have had the issue.
Prolozone is a non-surgical treatment which works to repair and heal connective tissue around joints. Cortisone is more of a treatment to mask the pain of the condition, without addressing any underlying issue.
We have had many patients who feel the benefit of treatment immediately. However, most of the healing happens after 24-48 hours and depends upon the patient. If there is continued pain, more injections may be required.
As well as providing treatment in Liverpool, we also cover Widnes, Warrington, Manchester, Wirral, Runcorn and the whole of the North West. We also have clients who travel from even further afield to receive our specialist treatment. Regardless of where you are in the country, you can book an appointment at our clinic today.
