Healing Ozone Therapy

ozone injections

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.

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.

Ozone Injections For Joint Pain

ozone regenerative injections

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.

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

Trigger Point Acupuncture

Trigger Point Pain

What Are Trigger Points?

Trigger points are more commonly known as “knots” in our muscles. When there are too many of these “knots” it is called Myofascial Pain Syndrome. This can cause an alarming amount of pain and can often occur without warning. They tend to cluster around an injury and they can be a major factor in back and neck pain.

What Is Trigger Point Acupuncture?

Trigger Point Acupuncture (TPA) is a technique wehre a therapist will insert tiny needles into the affected muscles causing them to loosen and relax. Trigger points are believed to be micro-spasms in muscle tissue. By inserting the needle into the tissue, it temporarily blocks the signal controlling your muscle to spasm. Without this signal, your muscle is free to return to its natural state.

Why choose this method?

This method is great for relieving pain caused by trigger points. Those who have chronic severe pain may find that it doesn’t completely relieve the pain but lessens it to a greater extent than other options. Those with minor aches and “knots” can usually find whole relief from pain and can prevent the reoccurance.

Laser Therapy for Tendonitis

Trigger Point Pain

What is Tendonitis?

Tendonitis occurs when the flexible bands of tissue that connect the bones to the muscles become inflamed and painful. This is sometimes referred to as “tennis elbow” or “golfer’s elbow”, but it can happen throughout the body. Current treatments for tendonitis often revolve around stretching and conditioning, heavy use of anti-inflammatories, massage, and heat or ice packs. While these treatments can be effective, they often take a long time to work and excessive use of NSAIDs can lead to much more severe problems. Luckily, there’s good news!

Recently, high intensity laser therapy (HILT) has come to the foreground of techniques to treat tendonitis along with a host of other diagnoses. This technique has proven to be fast, reliable and safe. New research has added weight to the claims of laser therapy.

But how does it work?

We’re glad you asked. Laser therapy works by emitting light (laser) deep into the tissue. Studies have shown that it is able to penetrate further than ultrasound waves. The result of this is an improvement of tissue repair. It also increases the speed at which your lymphatic system drains from the injured areas. Research is showing that it also increases recruitment of cells to an injured area which speeds up your body’s natural healing process.

Yes, but DOES it work?

Another great question! Clinical studies have shown that patients treated with laser showed much greater decreases in pain. They also had better outcomes with joint mobility, functionality, and muscle strength.
