Real results from real people

Within two days of my first session of prolozone injections, the intense itching in my arms decreased by around 70%. Three weeks later, and I've just had my third session (yesterday) and the itching is around 85% reduced. This is pretty miraculous considering just how bad the itching has been over the last few years.

Excellent practice. Attended recently for Prolozone injections to help relieve pain from a bulging disc. After weeks of discomfort and restricted movement the treatment gave me relief and the ability to get back to normal. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Frequently asked questions

Neck pain can arise from the muscles, ligaments, facet joints, intervertebral discs and nerves of the cervical spine. Common causes include muscle tension or strain, cervical facet joint pain, cervical disc degeneration, disc bulges, whiplash injuries and age-related degenerative changes.
The location and behaviour of the pain can provide clues to its source. Pain may remain in the neck or spread into the trapezius muscles, shoulders, shoulder blades, head or arms. Because several conditions can produce similar symptoms, identifying the likely cause is an important first step in choosing the most appropriate treatment.
Pain at the back or side of the neck commonly comes from the cervical facet joints, muscles, ligaments or discs. Pain that is worse when turning, looking upwards or holding the neck in one position may be associated with facet joint or mechanical neck pain, while aching and tightness extending across the shoulders may involve the cervical and trapezius muscles.
One-sided neck pain can also occur with disc problems or following injuries such as whiplash. The pattern of symptoms, examination findings and any existing scans can help establish which structures are most likely responsible.
Problems within the cervical spine can cause referred pain, meaning the pain is felt somewhere other than its original source. Cervical joints and discs can refer pain into the trapezius, shoulder and shoulder blade, while irritation of a cervical nerve may cause symptoms extending further down the arm.
Nerve-related symptoms can include shooting or burning pain, pins and needles, tingling, numbness or weakness. The distribution of these symptoms can help distinguish referred neck pain from cervical nerve irritation or other shoulder and arm conditions.
The cervical facet joints are small joints at the back of the neck that connect neighbouring vertebrae and help guide movement. They can become painful through irritation, injury or degenerative change.
Cervical facet joint pain typically causes an ache at the back or side of the neck and may spread into the upper trapezius, shoulder blade or base of the skull. Symptoms can be aggravated by turning the head, looking upwards or keeping the neck in one position for prolonged periods. Upper cervical facet problems can also contribute to cervicogenic headaches.
Yes. Cervical disc degeneration occurs when the discs between the vertebrae gradually lose hydration, height and resilience. These changes can be associated with neck pain, stiffness and irritation of other structures within the affected spinal segment.
A cervical disc bulge may also contribute to pain and, if nearby nerve tissue becomes irritated, symptoms can extend into the shoulder or arm.
Importantly, disc degeneration and disc bulges are also commonly found on scans in people without pain. Treatment therefore needs to consider your symptoms and clinical findings rather than treating an MRI or scan result alone.

es. A headache originating from structures in the cervical spine is called a cervicogenic headache.
Pain commonly begins in the upper neck or base of the skull and can spread towards the back, side or front of the head. Cervical joints, muscles, ligaments and surrounding tissues can contribute to this type of headache, and neck movement or sustained postures may aggravate symptoms.
Correctly identifying a cervicogenic headache is important because headaches can have many causes and treatment should be directed towards the underlying problem.
Yes. Although many whiplash injuries improve with time, some people develop persistent neck pain, stiffness, muscle tension or headaches following the injury.
The rapid movement associated with whiplash can affect the cervical facet joints, ligaments, muscles and other supporting tissues. Symptoms may be felt immediately or develop after the accident and can sometimes persist long after the initial injury.
Persistent symptoms should be assessed to identify the structures most likely contributing to the pain and determine the most appropriate treatment.
There is no single best treatment for every type of neck pain because treatment depends on its underlying cause. Options may include activity modification, targeted exercises, physiotherapy, strengthening and mobility work, pain management and, in selected cases, injection treatment.
For persistent mechanical neck pain that has not responded sufficiently to conservative treatment, Prolozone may be considered depending on the structures involved and the clinical findings.
The important principle is to identify the likely pain generator first and then choose treatment accordingly rather than treating every case of neck pain in the same way.
They may. Prolozone is a non-steroid injection treatment that may help some patients with persistent musculoskeletal neck pain, including pain associated with cervical facet joints, degenerative changes, disc-related irritation, whiplash and some forms of referred or nerve-related pain.
Prolozone aims to reduce pain and irritation around the affected tissues and support the local healing environment. In disc-related conditions, the aim is not to physically replace a degenerated disc or guarantee that a bulge disappears, but to help the painful or irritated tissues around the affected cervical segment settle.
Individual responses vary, so suitability is determined following assessment.
Consider having persistent neck pain assessed if it lasts for several weeks, repeatedly returns, interferes with sleep or everyday activities, restricts neck movement, causes frequent headaches or spreads into the shoulder or arm.
More urgent medical assessment is appropriate for symptoms such as progressive arm or hand weakness, significant or worsening numbness, loss of hand coordination, problems with balance or walking, severe pain following significant trauma, fever or unexplained systemic symptoms.
For persistent mechanical neck pain without these warning signs, assessment can help identify the likely source of the problem and whether rehabilitation, Prolozone or another management approach is appropriate.
