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!
