Painful conditions of the knee, hip, foot, shoulder and elbow are extremely common maladies due to accidents, athletic injuries and the wear of an aging population. There are numerous causes of joint pain ranging from obesity, underlying infections, meniscus tears, cartilage injury and ligament strain. However, the most common cause of painful joints is osteoarthritis, which is an inflammatory condition characterized by denuded or absent joint cartilage and inflamed synovial fluid.

If any local or systemic issues such as bone fractures, infectious diseases, cancer, autoimmune diseases have been identified, they must be addressed prior to any joint injections.

Once it has been determined that a joint injection would be appropriate, we utilize a number of anti-inflammatory and regenerative techniques to alleviate pain and, hopefully, regain optimal function:

• Ozone
• Prolozone (ozone, procaine, dextrose)
• Autologous ozonated blood
• Autologous ozonated bone marrow
