Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that involves the administration of ozone gas into the body for therapeutic purposes. Ozone (O₃) is a naturally occurring gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It has been used in medicine for over a century and is known for its powerful healing properties. It is administered either as an IV (known as major ozone autohemotherapy), or alone as a gas directly into the area of pain.

Pain Management

One of the primary uses of ozone therapy is for pain management. It can be done as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with PRP/prolotherapy. It is often used to alleviate pain associated with various conditions such as:

• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Herniated discs
• Joint pain
• Sports injuries
• Chronic back pain

Major Ozone Autohemotherapy

A specific type of ozone therapy where a small amount of the patient's blood is drawn, mixed with ozone, and then reinfused back into the body via IV. This process helps enhance the body's natural healing mechanisms and is used for conditions such as:

• Chronic infections
• Immune system disorders (autoimmune)
• Fatigue
• Allergies
• Chronic inflammatory conditions
• Mold toxicity

Mechanism of Action

Ozone therapy exerts its therapeutic effects through several mechanisms, including:

• Increasing oxygen delivery to tissues, which enhances cellular metabolism and healing
• Stimulating the immune system to combat infections
• Reducing inflammation
• Improving circulation by dilating blood vessels, which can alleviate pain and promote tissue repair
