Alternative to Knee Pain Surgery in Reno, Nevada

Knee pain can be caused by several injuries to the knee. No matter if you injured your knee in an accident or playing a sport, Dr. Frank Shallenberger M.D., H.M.D., A.B.A.A.M of Nevada Center of Alternative & Anti-Aging Medicine of Reno, Nevada is the right doctor to contact.

The most common condition of chronic knee pain is Chondromalacia, which is also called chondromalacia patella. Chondromalacia is also called patellofemoral syndrome. This condition is caused when the cartilage beneath the knee cap begins to soften, and as the cartilage begins to soften there is a small area that begins to break down, and as a result it causes pain around the knee. Instead of the knee cap moving over the knee smoothly, the knee cap begins to glide against the thigh bone when you move your knee. As a result, you can have anywhere from a mild to a serious case of wearing away the cartilage. Chondromalacia usually is diagnosed in girls. Females that have reached their teenage years have a greater chance of getting Chondromalacia because of the amount of pressure that is placed upon the knee while the knee is going through a growing stage.

Some of the common knee problems treated by Dr. Shallenberger are:

- Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Sport Injuries
- Limited mobility

Dr. Frank Shallenberger, who is internationally known for creating several different treatment methods, has created Prolozone® Therapy, an extraordinary efficient treatment for knee pain, as well as other conditions. Prolozone® Therapy has a permanently pain- free result rate of 75%. The reason behind such a good result is because Prolozone® Therapy actually corrects the cause of the pain. Dr. Shallenberger derived the word from "proli", which is a Latin word, meaning regenerate or rebuild, and the word ozone, due to injections of ozone. Together the result is new cartilage and new connective tissue in the points of weakness and damage. The amount of treatments needed really depends on the person, but the average amount of treatment needs range anywhere from three to five. Because Prolozone® Therapy causes cartilage regeneration; the treatments have been very successful for severe osteo-arthritis of the knee. Unlike many other treatments that you may have currently received, the difference between those treatments and Prolozone® Therapy is permanent. It is not a treatment to ease just the pain, but it is actually a treatment that cures the cause of the pain.

Dr. Shallenberger has created Prolozone® Therapy just for you. It is not like any other treatment that you have received, which masks the pain, but it actually cures the cause of the pain.
