How PRP Therapy Works: A Step-by-Step Process
FAQs
Patients undergoing Prolozone therapy may experience some minor pain at the injection site, but many report significant symptoms and pain relief 24-48 hours after treatment. The typical course of Prolozone therapy involves multiple injections, with an average of 3-5 sessions, although some patients may only need one injection. This therapy can reduce inflammation, promote tissue regeneration, and provide long-term pain relief.
For Prolozone therapy, patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling at the injection site but can generally resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up sessions are often spaced a few weeks apart to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. In contrast, PRP therapy requires rest post-injection, with the length of rest dependent on the specific injury and location. Most patients report relief from symptoms and return to normal function 3 weeks to 3 months after PRP treatment.
