Ozone therapy, often referred to as “Prolozone therapy”, is an injection technique utilizing a homeopathic solution and ozone to target musculo-skeletal and joint pain. It has been and continues to be a method of treatment used in European clinics and hospitals for over fifty years. It has been used to treat chronic neck and back pain, shoulder and elbow pain, degenerative discs, and arthritic hips and knees.
When tissue is damaged, there is often a decreased oxygen perfusion to the area. The decreased oxygen utilization in the area can often lead to chronic pain and degeneration. Ozone therapy provides the tissue with adequate oxygen required to efficiently regenerate to the normal tissue. By allowing the damaged tissue to regenerate, ozone therapy addresses the problem rather than to masking the resulting pain.
By using a homeopathic/oxygen injection, it serves as an alternative treatment for cortisone.
Cortisone Injections Vs. Ozone Injections
Cortisone is a steroid injection that is often used to treat localized regions of pain and inflammation. Cortisone shots can cause a temporary rise in blood sugar levels, so diabetics need to take extra caution with them. Though effective, they can be quite potent and is usually limited to 3 to 4 times a year. Cortisone shots are used to relieve pain and inflammation to relieve the symptoms, but does not necessarily get to the root of the problem.
Unlike cortisone shots, oxygen therapy utilizes a homeopathic solution and ozone. It is a safe alternative for all, especially diabetics because they do not use steroids. By improving oxygenation to the body, ozone injection therapy aids your body to optimize its ability to carry out cellular function, which allows you to better heal yourself. It is used to treat a variety of problems throughout the body. This therapy aids in cartilage and ligament regeneration and increasing and improving circulation to target areas.
Ozone injection therapy has been found to be useful for many conditions including:
- Musculo-skeletal and joint pain for chronic back, neck, shoulder, and elbow pain
- Heart diseases
- Chronic Fatigue syndrome
- Fibromyalgia
- Degenerative discs
- Interstitial cystitis
- Chronic hepatitis
- Diabetes
Because ozone therapy targets the body’s ability to repair injuries, it not only provides relief for pain, but can even lead to the body’s repair of the target area. This means that over time, you may find that the initial region of pain can improve and heal.
