Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy for Pain Management and More
Ozone is a form of oxygen that displays anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and fungicidal action when it is mixed with medical grade oxygen in a carefully controlled medical environment. This makes ozone a treatment of choice for certain conditions such as spinal pain and arthritis and as and adjunct treatment for others.
What is ozone therapy?
It involves mixing small and carefully controlled amounts of ozone and medical grade oxygen and then introducing the mixture into the body by various means. It has proven effective in treating chronic bacterial and viral infections that don't respond well to conventional antibiotic treatments. It is also in widespread use for the treatment of musculoskeletal and spinal disc conditions.
The result - a powerful oxidant, ozone delivers a 'shock' to the body. This activates the antioxidant systems, causing the release of cytokines and other immune stimulating factors that lead to healing.
