Prolotherapy and Prolozone Treatment Service in South Carolina

Prolotherapy/Prolozone or Regenerative Injection Technique (RIT)

Prolotherapy and Prolozone are regenerative injection techniques aimed at promoting the body's natural healing process to repair damaged tissue. They specifically target ligaments and tendons, the connective tissues responsible for holding bones together. Overuse, injury, or degeneration can weaken these tissues, leading to pain and instability.


Prolotherapy involves injecting a solution of natural nutrients and a mild anesthetic into the affected ligaments or tendons at their attachment points to the bone. This creates localized inflammation, which triggers the body's healing response, stimulating tissue repair and strengthening the area.


Prolozone, an advanced form of Prolotherapy, combines the benefits of prolotherapy with ozone therapy. Ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen, is injected into the affected areas, delivering extra oxygen to improve circulation and accelerate tissue healing. This makes Prolozone particularly effective at reducing pain and promoting faster recovery.


The following are frequently asked questions about these regenerative injection therapies (RIT).

1. What is the Healing Process? After Prolotherapy, the patient may be a little sore for a day or so, but this usually goes away. The injection process is repeated every 2-6 weeks. Patients should not expect results in pain reduction for about 2-6 weeks. The good thing about prolotherapy is that the results are more of a permanent nature.

2. How many Treatments does it require? The average number of treatments needed to reduce pain by at least 50% varies per case. Many patients get to their goal of 50% better within one treatment. However, prolotherapy may take 3-5 treatments for success in some.

3. What is Prolotherapy Used to Treat? This form of therapy is a great choice for those who experience little improvement with physical therapy and who want to avoid surgery. RIT is minimally invasive and very effective at eliminating pain. The treatment is excellent for many different types of musculoskeletal pain including:

Prolotherapy and Dr. Lovegrove’s own healing journey

Prolotherapy has been around for over 40 years. Dr. Lovegrove started utilizing this technique in 1999 after his own chronic neck pain was cured from 2 sessions of prolotherapy. He had suffered with chronic headaches with associated dizziness (Barre-Lieou Syndrome) for six months and saw multiple specialists without any improvement. Dr. Lovegrove was so inspired from this healing that he learned the art of prolotherapy and has provided it in his practice since 1999. Dr. Lovegrove worked with Dr. Ross Hauser at Beulah Land Clinic in 2003 to improve his research in prolotherapy at St. Louis University. Given Dr. Lovegrove’s over 90% success rate to achieve pain and functional goals with his patients, his expertise has helped thousands of chronic pain suffers.
