Ozone injections safely eliminate the causes of pain and gives a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to become permanently pain free!

prolotherapy ozone injections

Ozone injections cause repair and tightening of the lax structures, partially torn connective tissue, cartilage, muscles, and ligaments. Regenerative ozone injections halt the pain/inflammation cycle. This allows for better circulation, increased blood flow carrying nutrition, and hydration of the damaged tissues. This allows for a healing environment within the joint/muscle to develop and results in increased range of motion and decreased pain.

Ozone Testimonials:

I had been suffering with severe shoulder pain since January. Had done physical therapy which helped take the edge off during the day but it would keep me up in pain all night. No type of pain medication would work. After my first visit and my first set of Ozone injections my shoulder was pretty much pain free. And after the second set I can honestly say it’s like my shoulder is back to normal. I can’t wait to go back to get my knee done! Dr. Perry is very personable and does not give you the run around as I have found with many Dr.’s.

Feeling Compressed?

Are you feeling compressed? Spinal compression happens when the vertebrae in our spines begin to press down on one another. This puts extra pressure on our discs and can cause them to bulge or even herniate. When the discs bulge or herniate, they put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves which is what causes immense pain.

What causes compression?

Poor posture is one of the leading causes of spinal compression. Our spines are naturally curved to be able to withstand the pressure put on them. Poor posture can slowly decrease these curvatures which puts more pressure on the spine than it can handle. This pressure then pinches the discs in between our vertebrae and causes them to bulge out.

What can be done?

feeling compressed

Spinal decompression is a safe and pain free treatment that helps you regain the natural space in the spine. This allows your discs to regain their natural shape.

Over the course of the treatment, your body can relearn how to hold the proper curvature. This will keep the discs healthy and keep you out of pain!

Spinal decompression involves the use of specialized tables that apply a gentle amount of pull to eith your neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine). This pull holds for 45 seconds stretching the spine and releases to half the pull for 25 seconds. This gentle pull and release allows your spine to stretch without causing your muscles to guard. The treatments typically last 10 minutes and are often so relaxing that patients can fall asleep.

Who should get decompression?

If you have pain anywhere in the back or neck, it would be a good idea to ask your chiropractor about decompression. The pain doesn’t have to be in the back or neck though. Because the spinal cord feeds nerves to the whole body, you coud have a problem in your back and feel it in your legs or a problem in your neck and feel it in your arms. If you’re feeling compressed, you could probably benefit from this treatment.

Healing Ozone Therapy

Healing Ozone? You know that ozone protects us from the damaging ultraviolet rays of the sun. But did you know that ozone also can protect our cells and reverse injury done to cells? A molecule of 3 oxygen atoms loosely attached to each other provides an amazing triad of healing oxygen to the area of damage.

Ozone improves cellular metabolism and energy output thereby allowing the cell to do what it needs to do. This includes healing cartilage cells, nerve cells, immune cells and more.

Locally injected medical ozone is safe and effective for the back, joint, cartilage, ligament, tendon and nerve repair. This is often used in combination with Hormone Replacement, anti-inflammatory diets or other treatments to improve outcomes for patients with arthritis (osteo and rheumatoid), tendonitis, ligament tears and who might be facing joint replacement in the future.

healing ozone

Ozone therapy is a relatively painless proliferate and antiinflammatory therapy which stimulates the ligaments, joints and tendons toward recovery and repair. Depending on severity, and duration of pain you should expect 4-6 treatments for an area to fully repair. In acute injuries, treatment times are much shorter and faster. All joints of the body can be treated with Ozone including knees, low back, neck, shoulder, fingers, elbows, hips, ankles etc.

What Does Healing Ozone Treat?

  • Arthritis (Osteo and Rheumatoid)
  • Back Pain
  • Ligament or Tendon Strains or Sprains
  • Joint Degeneration
  • Joint Pain and Swelling from Lyme Disease
  • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
  • TMJ
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Migraines or Headaches
  • Neck and Shoulder pain
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
  • Tendonitis
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Morton’s Neuroma
  • Scars
  • Trigger Points
  • Lumbar or lower back pain

Ozone Injections For Joint Pain

Legacy Clinic is now offering prolotherapy ozone injections. If you suffer from arthritis, painful joints, or inflammation, this new therapy is just what you’ve been searching for.

By stimulating mitochondria, ozone supports and accelerates the body’s natural ability to heal damaged tissue and regenerate healthy tissue. Examples include ozone injections to heal damaged joints. It accomplishes this by stimulating the mitochondria of cells that are actively involved in regeneration, such as stem cells or the cells that generate new collagen in a damaged joint, or those that form new bones in the case of bone damage.

ozone injections

Note: Every cell in your body is dependent on ATP from which it derives the energy it needs to perform its functions. ATP is generated in mitochondria. Therefore, if your cells have more ATP, they function better. From cells that make collagen, to cells that make your hormones, or make natural antioxidants, or detox your blood… everything is dependent on the health of your mitochondria. Ozone is better at supporting the health of your mitochondria than any other known substance.

Homeopathic medicine (no side effects)

  • releasees knots in muscle
  • Anti-inflammatory
  • Pain reduction
  • More flexibility

Now offering prolotherapy:

  • injections to help rebuild cells
  • Great for rotator cuff injuries
  • Great for hip and knee injuries

If you think you might benefit from ozone injections or you would like more information on this or other therapies, please contact us today.

Prolotherapy Ozone Injections

What Is Ozone? The oxygen you breathe is present in the air as a pair of oxygen atoms. This is the most stable form of oxygen. Ozone, unlike regular oxygen, is composed of three oxygen atoms instead of two. It is the addition of the third oxygen atom that makes ozone “supercharged” oxygen, and gives it all of its remarkable medical properties. Ozone is found naturally in the body. The white cells make it as part of the immune response. Pure medical grade ozone, when it is used according to the established medical guidelines, has a safety record that is unparalleled. The use of ozone to treat various medical conditions was first developed in Germany in the early 1950’s with hundreds of studies proving its effectiveness and safety. Today, prolotherapy ozone injections are common throughout Europe, and its use has gradually been spreading in America over the last 25 years.

prolotherapy ozone injections

What is it used for? Medical-grade Ozone is injected using a special technique. It is excellent for all forms of musculoskeletal and joint pain including chronic neck and back pain, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative and arthritic hips and knees, degenerated discs, and shoulder and elbow pain. Because in many cases Medical Ozone actually corrects the pathology of the disorder, there is a 75% chance for the chronic pain sufferer to becoming permanently pain free.

prolotherapy ozone injections

How does it work? Medical-grade Ozone is a form of non-surgical ligament reconstruction and is a permanent treatment for chronic pain. The treatment is a connective tissue injection therapy of ozone gas which can aid in the reconstruction of damaged or weakened connective tissue in and around joints. The Medical-grade Ozone is injected into the damaged connective tissue around a joint to rebuild the damaged areas. Because ozone is a gas, we do not have to inject it directly into the joint for it to be effective. It defuses in and around the joint and is attracted to inflammation, causing it to be drawn to the areas of injury or damage.  When someone suffers from chronic pain, the pain has been there for so long it becomes the “new normal”. This means the healing process has stopped. When Medical-grade Ozone is injected, the properties of ozone gas mimics that part of the body being injured. It does not cause the pain or symptoms of an injury, but it starts a series of reactions that allow the body to restart the healing process. This does not mean that ozone injections are only for injuries. Almost any type of muscle or joint pain will respond in much the same way.

prolotherapy ozone injections

Why does it work? We can think of our joints as the hinge on a door. Until the hinge is fixed the door just isn’t going to open or close right and it’s the same exact story with our joints. If we are athletic or if we are just getting older there is some gradual and natural degeneration of the moving parts of the body due to ongoing recurrent mechanical stress, and failure of tissues to repair. This can come from lack of nutrients, lack of circulation, aging and inflammation. When this happens the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage become dehydrated and weaker. This results in laxity and more abnormal mechanical stress and shearing forces on the joint. Abnormal shearing forces and torsion cause more joint dysfunction.

Prolotherapy ozone injections cause repair and tightening of the lax structures, partially torn connective tissue, cartilage, muscles, and ligaments. Ozone halts the pain/inflammation cycle. This allows for better circulation, increased blood flow carrying nutrition, and hydration of the damaged tissues. This allows for a healing environment within the joint/muscle to develop and results in increased range of motion and decreased pain.

Don’t Stop Moving

It’s never too late to start moving or exercising!  The oldest client I’ve trained was 95 years young.  Your heart is a muscle and, as with any muscle, exercise is what strengthens it.  Aerobic exercise like brisk walking, water walking briskly, jogging, swimming, cycling, Zumba, and other activities that use large muscle groups repetitively to get your heart pumping faster is the most beneficial type of exercise for your heart and blood vessels.  Ideally, you should be moving 30-minutes or more a day at least five days a week.  This can be broken down into 10-15 minute segments multiple times per day or done all at one time.  Your exercise should be moderate in intensity which means you should be breathing harder, your heart  should be beating faster and it should feel somewhat difficult.  If it feels easy and you can sing while you are exercising, you are not working hard enough for your heart to get stronger.  So find an activity you enjoy and can stick with for the long run and GET MOVING!!!

Don't Stop Moving

We don’t stop moving because we get old; we grow old because we stop moving. Don’t stop moving!

Legacy Clinic offers a range of services and products to help patients live their healthiest lifestyles and keep enjoying the things they love to do. From chiropractic care to acupuncture to massage, chances are they have what you need. They are also currently offering small group classes which focus on balance training, low back and core strengthening and posture correction. Don’t put it off any longer.

Ozone Therapy And Its Benefits

What is ozone therapy?

Ozone has been used medically for many years. Ozone therapy is the injection of ozone gas into your body to treat a disease or wound. Research has found that ozone can be used to treat medical conditions by stimulating the immune system.

How Does It Work?

When ozone comes into contact with body fluids, the reaction that results causes more proteins and red blood cells. This can increase oxygen to the body. Research has shown that ozone therapy can inactivate:

  • Bacteria
  • Viruses
  • Fungi
  • Yeast
  • And Protozoa

What Does It Treat?

Ozone therapy has a variety of uses. It can help with breathing disorders, diabetes, immune disorders and it can help with pain and inflammation.

Ozone injections can help repair and tighten lax structures, partially torn connective tissue, cartilage, muscles and ligaments. Ozone halts that pain and inflammtion cycle which allows for better circulation, increased blood flow carrying nutrition and hydration of the damged tissues.

Those suffering from arthritis and other joint pain and inflammation have been shown to get relief from this type of therapy.

How Effective Is It?

Studies are being done right now and many results are promising. Several clinical trials are being conducted from heart disease to arthritis.

Research has shown that when used for osteoarthritis it can improve range of motion and delay decline. People with rheumatoid arthritis or back pain from bulging discs may also see relief from ozone therapy.

With more trials being done every day, the benefits of this therapy could prove to be far more beneficial than anyone realized!

Where Can You Go?

Legacy Clinic is now offering ozone injections for their patients. If you are interested in learning more or you would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us at:

Acupuncture​ in The Villages

Acupuncture in The Villages is an ancient form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that dates back over 5,000 years.  It is based on the theory that energy (QI) moves through the body using specific pathways (meridians).  An imbalance in the flow of Qi or energy moving through the meridians may cause a physiological effect in the body over time. Stress, poor eating habits, lack of sleep, hormonal imbalances, and strenuous activity may cause the body to become symptomatic.  Symptoms such as pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, food cravings, irritability, brain fog, indigestion, and heart palpitations may occur if harmony is not restored to the Qi flow of the internal body.

Treatment:

Acupuncture Physicians use sterile, thin, disposable needles to activate specific points on the body to stimulate a healing function. A slight pinch, tingling, or burning sensation may occur at the site of the needle insertion for a brief moment.  A typical acupuncture treatment may last 20-30 minutes.  This time allows the body to relax and make internal changes.  Acupuncture causes the brain to release endorphins a natural opiate-like effect may occur.  The analgesic like effect is very helpful in the treatment of pain.  Also, a feeling of euphoria may occur after an acupuncture treatment due to the release of endorphins.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture to be effective for more than 35 common illnesses.

Allergies, sinusitis, abdominal pain, heartburn, constipation, IBS like symptoms, painful periods, PMS, low back pain, muscle, tendon, joint pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, nerve injuries, addictions, and chronic pain.
