Total Hip Replacement Surgery Hip Replacement Treatment

Question: What do you know about prolozone therapy? I am considering getting prolozone therapy to treat my right and left hips, which are affected by arthritis. I did a lot of treatment for this affected hip, but there was no improvement. I was given an injection of steroids, but my severe pain did not subside. I would like to do hip replacement surgery if possible.

Answer: If a complaint of Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, or Ankylosing Spondylitis (Axial Spondyloarthritis) develops in the hip, its pain can be very painful. A layer of protective tissue covers the joint. It gradually wears and thins due to frequent fractures. This protective tissue is also called articular cartilage. When this soft bone is penetrated, the bones begin to rub against each other, causing inflammation and pain. Corticosteroid injections, usually triamcinolone, are sometimes given directly into the joint to reduce this pain.

This reduces inflammation and pain. However, this gives only temporary relief. There are high hopes for stem cell technology in this regard, but currently, the only effective treatment available for pain-free walking is an artificial joint. Here are some things to understand about ozone. Ozone is a pale blue gas with a slightly foul odor. Its molecular structure is different from the oxygen we breathe. “Ozone, a gas, is formed by a chemical reaction between oxygen in the air and ultraviolet rays from sunlight. Apart from this, ozone gas is also formed in the earth's atmosphere due to electrical discharges such as lightning strikes and it is considered one of the air pollutants. Ozone gas has been proven harmful to the lungs, heart, and central nervous system.

This gas can be especially dangerous in urban areas. Prolozone therapy uses ozone gas to stimulate cell growth in damaged areas of the body, such as an arthritic hip. It is said that this therapy can regenerate soft cartilage. Nevertheless, there is no published, solid evidence that this actually happens. That is why I am deeply concerned that this treatment, which can be very expensive, may be of any benefit to you. There is no doubt in my mind that hip replacement surgery will help restore your mobility and relieve your pain. Visit the NASS.CO.UK website for more information.
