Reduce Pain, Increase Mobility with Ozone Therapy | Dr Vincenzo Di Donna | Cornerstone Clinic | Dubai

Ozone therapy is a non-invasive therapy that has become more well-known recently due to its capacity to reduce pain and accelerate recovery. Medical-grade ozone gas is injected into the body as part of this novel therapy. It can relieve several ailments like lumbar, joint, and muscular pain.

Ozone therapy works by increasing the oxygen level in the blood, which in turn helps to oxygenate the tissues throughout the body. This increased oxygenation can lead to several benefits, including:

• Reduced inflammation: Ozone therapy has been shown to reduce inflammation, a common cause of pain and discomfort.
• Increased microcirculation: By improving blood flow, ozone therapy can enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to damaged tissues.
• Increased oxygenation: Increased oxygen levels in the blood can help regenerate damaged muscle fibres and promote healing.
• Reduced oxidative stress: Ozone therapy can help to neutralise harmful free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and protecting cells from damage.

 

BENEFITS

Ozone therapy offers a number of benefits for individuals suffering from joint, muscle, cervical, or lumbar pain. These benefits may include:

• Reduced pain: Ozone therapy can help to alleviate pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions.
• Improved mobility: By reducing inflammation and improving tissue function, ozone therapy can enhance mobility and range of motion.
• Faster healing: Ozone therapy can accelerate the healing process, allowing individuals to recover more quickly from injuries or conditions.
• Non-invasive treatment: Ozone therapy is a non-invasive procedure that does not require surgery or injections.
• Minimal side effects: Ozone therapy is generally considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment with minimal side effects.

 

HOW IT IS ADMINISTERED

The way it is administered at Cornerstone Clinic can vary depending on the condition that is being treated. These methods include:

• Major Autohemotherapy (MAH): a small amount of the patient’s blood will be drawn and mixed with ozone to then introduce this new oxygen-rich blood back into the body to aid the immune system.
• Ozone injection: these can be intramuscular, intra-articular, subcutaneous or intradiscal to target specific tissues, joints, or other painful and inflamed points.
• Ozone IV infusion – the Ozone IV Infusion is mixed with 200 ml of normal saline solution then it is infused via IV back into the body.

 

The patient’s reaction to the therapy determines how many times the treatment can be done. For acute problems, usually, a few sessions can be considered necessary while for more chronic conditions these may be more spread out over weeks or months to come. The qualified doctor at Cornerstone Clinic will best plan according to the patient’s needs in order to get the anticipated results. Ozone therapy is generally considered a safe and well-tolerated treatment. However, it is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine if ozone therapy is right for you and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.

 

AM I SUITABLE FOR OZONE THERAPY

The procedure is considered safe when administered by a licensed medical professional on the Cornerstone team that will carefully recommend the correct dosages for the treatment. A few side effects may be acknowledged and these include minor discomforts, such as pain in the injection site, that normally passes rapidly. It is very important to inform the doctor of any existing medical issues and medicines that are regularly taken to minimise the side effects. Ozone therapy may not be suitable for patients with cases of active bleeding disorders or favism (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase 9GPD) deficiency as well as those who have respiratory issues and pregnant women.
