Cortisone (steroid) injections are commonly recommended by physicians for joint pain. However, these steroids injections come with side effects and only mask the pain. Cortisone shots can permanently damage bones, ligaments, muscles, cartlage and tendons. This may result in a weakening of the joint.
Prolozone in comparison promotes healing, regeneration of and rebuilding of new ligament and cartilage tissue. This means they are a better solution, providing longer-term results.
