OZONE THERAPY

About OZONE THERAPY

Ozone therapy is a unique complementary practice therapy that both detoxifies and heals the body. Ozone therapy can be used in many chronic diseases such as chronic infections (Lyme, viral, fungal),autoimmune problems, colitis, allergies, bladder problems, Multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue, acut infections (sinus, skin, etc.), aging process. It is also used in aesthetic areas such as detox, skin and hair health, antiaging and regional slimming. Ozone does not cure these conditions, but helps the body begin to heal through better use of oxygen. Ozone therapy is planned together with other holistic approaches (acupuncture, manual therapy, cupping therapy, sports massage, IV vitamins and pain-reducing techniques, etc.) recommended at the Holistic Pain Therapy center to improve and protect your health.

What is Ozone?

The oxygen you breathe is present in the air as a pair of oxygen atoms. Ozone consists of three oxygen atoms instead of two. It is the addition of the third Oxygen atom that makes it supercharged oxygen and gives it all its wonderful medicinal properties.

The Key Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Improved Immune System

Ozone therapy can improve your immune system to fight off infection. Ozone can boost your immune system to reduce inflammation. Many people suffer from conditions that regularly cause areas of the body to become inflamed. Inflammator markers are often found in the blood of people who suffer from asthma. Inflammation can lead to an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body, which health professionals refer to as oxidative stress. This type of stress is associated with pain and discomfort.  People who regularly receive ozone therapy regularly report having reduced inflammation that typically comes from oxidative stress. Ozone therapy keeps inflammation manageable which also keeps inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and Crohn’s  disease under control.  When speaking of Ozone, people tend to think of the Earth. To many’s surprise, it is also a powerful antioxidant. The antioxidative properties within Ozone help heal the damage caused by persistent inflammation. The healing of the body and human DNA reduces the overall risk of infection or disease. In 2014 researchers concluded that ozone-related therapy is a legitimate option for inflammation treatment. Many chronic inflammatory diseases and immune-related disorders can significantly improve through ozone therapy.

Helps the Body Detox

No matter the amount of precautions we take, toxins are essentially unavoidable. Toxins can have adverse effects on the human body and the way it functions from its ability to heal itself to fighting off infection.  That being said, there are steps we can take to fight back against toxins. The first way is improving diet, and watching what we put into our bodies. The second way is regular ozone treatments. Ozone has shown to speed up metabolism and improve overall health.

Heals Chronic Wounds

A number of studies have suggested that regular Ozone Treatments may play a vital role in treating chronic wounds. Ozone Therapy has effectively been used on diabetic patients to help ulcers that have developed on their feet.  Additionally, people who have suffered from painful mouth ulcers have found reduction and relief through Ozone Medical Therapy. 

Repaired Stem Cells

Stem Cells are constantly working to produce cells throughout the entire human body. Cells that provide aid to the heart, brain, nerves and many other working parts of the body. Recent evidence shows that Ozone Therapy can improve a cell’s ability to reactivate, which leads to quicker and better repair to broken cells. 

Antibacterial, Antifungal, And Antiviral Abilities

Over time bacteria has learned and adapted to resist antibiotics. Scientists constantly seek ways to prevent and find better treatments for fungal, viral, and bacterial infections. Continued studies of ozone found that they contain a layer of infection control properties. Ozone therapy can solely resolve some acute bacterial infections. In the case of a tick bite Ozone cures the infection within 48 hours. Viral infections such as the flu harass people every year, especially in December. The good news, Ozone therapy may help these infections as well.

Can Revert Brain Tissue Damage

After a person has suffered from a stroke, which deprives the brain of oxygen supply. The area of the brain that becomes damaged is known as the penumbra. The best course of action to reduce the damage is to restore the oxygen as quickly as possible. Interestingly enough, a study in 2012 found that a mix of oxygen and ozone gases supplied to the brain tissue not only stopped further damage but reverted the brain to its original state. 

Reduced Risk Of Repeat Heart Attacks

For people who have suffered from heart attacks, it is not uncommon for a heart attack to occur a second or third time. Evidence has been found that Ozone therapy can significantly reduce the chances of a repeat heart attack, the development of dead tissue from the lack of oxygen or abnormal or irregular heart rate also known as arrhythmia after a heart attack. The quicker that Ozone Therapy is received the better. When patients quickly receive treatment and it is received frequently, the more they reduce the risk of a repeat heart attack.

Pain Relief

Experts have predicted that 75-85% of people will suffer from back pain at some point of their life. Back Pain is one of the most common reasons for a doctor’s visit. It costs Americans approximately $50 billion in healthcare costs each year. Can Ozone help? You guessed right, it does. Health experts found that the ozone treatment’s anti-inflammatory properties can provide relief to back pain sufferers.

Cell Oxygenation

Tissue death occurs when your tissues don’t have enough Access to oxygen. People who suffer from Anemia have a higher risk of Hypoxia. Hypoxia can occur in areas such as the lungs during an asthma attack throughout the entire bloodstream.  Ozone Therapy may help select hypoxic tumors alongside chemotherapy and radiotherapy because it has the ability to provide the body with oxygen that is readily available. 

Healthier Skin

In recent years, people have used ozone therapy as a way to improve their skin. As mentioned previously, Ozone Therapy makes oxygen readily available to cells, skin cells need oxygen. The increased oxygenation through Ozone Therapy helps the cells recover and repair. The additional antioxidant properties can increase collagen and elastin activity which can lead to improved and rejuvenated skin. Who doesn’t want healthier skin?

Ozone Therapy is especially indicated in the following conditions:

Application Methods

Major Autohemotherapy (intravenous application): 50 to 100 cc of the blood of the patient is taken into treatment sets suitable for ozone therapy under sterile conditions, mixed with medical ozone gas at an appropriate rate under normobaric conditions, and given back to the patient.

Minor Autohemotherapy (intramuscular application): It is the injection of 2 to 10 cc blood of the patient outside the body with medical ozone gas under sterile conditions and intramuscularly injected into the patient intramuscularly

Limb Bagging Treatment: It is the process of applying medical ozone gas by taking extremities such as arms and legs into a special bag for external application of ozone gas.

Intradiscal Application: It is the application of ozone directly into the intervertebral discs by specialist physicians under sterile conditions accompanied by imaging techniques (C-arm fluoroscopy, fluoroscopy).

Rectal or Vaginal Application: It is the administration of medical ozone gas to the patient through the rectal or vaginal route.

Musculoskeletal System Applications: Muscle, tendon, tendon sheath, ligament, intra-articular, periarticular, and spine problems; It includes intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intraarticular medical ozone gas applications by injection method.
