Ozone therapy is a medical method that has recently gained increased use in the medical industry because of its healing and rejuvenating properties. It increases oxygen levels in the body with the carefully regulated injection of ozone, a gas composed of three oxygen molecules, to support health benefits. Due to the promotion of cell regeneration, which replaces or repairs damaged cells, this aids in wound healing and immune system support.
Research has shown positive outcomes for a personalised regenerative medicine approach using ozone therapy to treat knee osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and back pain from herniated discs in order to reduce inflammation and increase microcirculation and oxygenation for regenerating damaged muscle fibres.
WHAT IT CAN BE USED FOR
Ozone therapy is very useful and beneficial for:
BENEFITS OF PERSONALISED REGENERATIVE MEDICINE:
HOW IT IS ADMINISTERED
Patients can receive ozone therapy in different ways, depending on the medical condition being treated. These methods include:
– Autohemotherapy: The patient’s blood is drawn and mixed with ozone, then infused back into their body, either intravenously or intra-articularly
– Intravenously: Ozone gas is introduced into the body’s circulation via IV drip, which travels throughout the body, exerting its systemic effects
– Intra-articular injections: Ozone gas is directly injected, via ultrasound or fluoroscopy, into the joint affected
DURATION OF THE PROCEDURE
Personalised regenerative medicine is recommended for its effectiveness, the safety of the procedure, and the minimal invasiveness.
The patient’s response to treatment determines how many treatments may be necessary. For acute problems, usually, 1-6 treatments will generate the anticipated results. Chronic conditions may need several sessions over several weeks or months. The doctor will create a strategy based on your symptoms and the ultimate result that you wish to obtain. Usually, 3 sessions per month are recommended for a duration of 3 to 4 months.
Ozone therapy used to help with joint problems is considered safe and effective as it is minimally invasive. However, like all procedures, there can be minor side effects, which include localised pain or discomfort at the site of injection. It is important to remember that not all individuals are suitable for this type of treatment. For example, if you have G6PD deficiency, a history of bleeding disorders, or a thyroid disorder, it is not advised to undergo treatment.
