What Are the Symptoms of Bursitis?
Treatment for Adhesive Capsulitis:
Frozen shoulder appears to occur in three main phases:
- In the first stage, shoulder pain increases with movement and gets worse at night. As the pain increases, so does loss of motion. This phase usually lasts 2 to 9 months.
- During the second stage, the arm may be easier to move, but range of motion is limited – close to 50 percent less than the other arm. This phase may last 4 to 12 months.
- The third stage involves a resolution of the condition. Over a 12 to 24-month period, the sufferer will experience gradual improvement in the mobility of the shoulder. However, treatment is usually necessary to achieve proper motion.
Prolozone introduces natural substances into damaged and inflamed tissues to promote non-surgical reconstruction of tendons and ligaments. It works primarily through the stimulation of growth factors that fuel the healing process. The addition of highly reactive ozone, produced in-office by a medical ozone generator, can increase the rate of healing through further stimulation of fibroblasts within the joint.
Prolozone, as opposed to other injection techniques, is especially effective for reducing pain. In addition to stimulating tissue regeneration, which can tighten loosened connective tissue and speed up healing in torn ligaments and tendons, ozone helps to keep inflammation under control. Chronic inflammation disrupts blood flow and bars the body from healing–by reducing stagnant inflammation, Prolozone allows for improved circulation, better range of motion and lasting pain reduction.

Dr. Christopher Wellwood is a dual Board Certified Chiropractic Physician and Family Nurse Practitioner — a combination that puts him in a category of his own. His Doctorate in Chiropractic comes from the University of Western States, and his Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner from Purdue University.
His clinical focus spans physical medicine, regenerative injection therapy (prolotherapy, PRP, stem cell, ozone), interventional pain management, functional neurology, and primary care. He is a published author in scientific journals — his research on adrenal and thyroid disease treatment is indexed in the Library of Medicine — and served as a Clinical Research Specialist at the Center for Health Research, contributing to the Premier Blood Pressure Study.
Dr. Wellwood believes the body has the ability to heal itself when given the right conditions. His approach addresses root causes rather than symptoms, combining conservative physical medicine with regenerative therapies to help patients recover, adapt, and thrive.
