Ozone injections: applications and benefits.
When you think of ozone, you might think of our planet’s atmosphere. In reality, this gas does so much more than help to protect the earth from the sun’s harmful radiation. It has some powerful applications in medicine. Here at Charleston Pain Relief and Wellness Center, we are proud to offer ozone therapy in North Charleston, SC, to help our patients find relief from a range of musculoskeletal conditions. Read on to learn more about this remarkable, natural treatment.

What is Ozone Therapy?

The oxygen that humans breathe in is actually O2, which consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Ozone is also known as O3, meaning that each molecule has three oxygen atoms in it. Humans should not breathe it in because it can be toxic when inhaled. However, when it is used as part of a non-surgical orthopedic treatment plan, it can have some remarkable benefits.

Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Research suggests that ozone therapy has the potential to:

  • Mobilize your body’s stem cells to move to the treated area, promoting healing
  • Reduce painful joint inflammation
  • Kill harmful invasive molecules, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses
  • Increase levels of NAD+ in the body (NAD+ plays an important role in the functioning of the body’s mitochondria)
  • Help the body cope with autoimmune disorders
  • Reduce pain caused by fibromyalgia
  • Enhance tissue oxygenation

Almost as outstanding as its ability to help the body function its best is the fact that ozone is a very low-risk treatment. When it is properly administered, it is very unlikely to cause adverse side effects. Plus, because it is just oxygen atoms, virtually no one ever has an allergic reaction to it!

How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

If you think that ozone therapy might work for you, schedule a consultation with our team. After we learn about your overall health and the specific challenges that you are facing, we will determine whether ozone therapy could help you feel better.

If we believe that ozone could be part of your treatment plan, we will help you understand the road ahead. Most patients attend several ozone therapy sessions before they experience optimum results.

Typically, the ozone is injected strategically into (or near) parts of the body that are most in need of healing. It may be mixed with oxygen before it is administered intramuscularly. In other cases, it is mixed with a patient’s own blood before it is given via an intravenous injection.

Conditions Treated with Ozone Therapy

Within the realm of orthopedic medicine, ozone therapy can be useful for patients with a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome
  • Tennis elbow
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Sciatica
  • Back pain
  • Various sports injuries

And more!
If you would like to know whether ozone is suitable for your specific situation, request a consultation with our team. After a thorough medical history and exam, we can design a custom treatment plan that has the goal of helping you reach optimum wellness.

Difference Between Ozone Therapy and Prolozone

In some cases, you might hear people use the terms “ozone therapy” and “Prolozone” interchangeably. However, these are two different treatments. Ozone therapy uses a mixture of ozone and oxygen. By itself, ozone is a powerful healing agent that has many medical applications.

Prolozone, on the other hand, combines ozone therapy with proliferation therapy (also known as prolotherapy). During prolotherapy, a minor irritant, usually a type of sugar, is injected into the body at the site of damaged tissue. The irritation it causes alerts your body to the fact that something is wrong, so healing and growth factors get sent to the area. When prolotherapy is combined with ozone, the results are optimized.

Is Ozone Therapy Expensive?

Ozone therapy requires no hospital stay, it is minimally invasive, and the appointments are brief. Therefore, it tends to be more affordable than many other treatments. When you visit us for a consultation, we can talk about some specific numbers.

In most cases, health insurance does not cover ozone because it is not yet common in the conventional medical community. We hope that will change as more and more doctors realize its value.

Does Ozone Therapy Cause Any Side Effects?

When it is administered by a well-trained medical professional, ozone therapy is unlikely to cause any severe or harmful side effects. After all, it is just oxygen atoms. However, if it is inhaled, it may cause unpleasant symptoms, such as nausea, coughing, and a burning sensation in the eyes.

Some patients experience a flu-like reaction after receiving ozone treatment. This issue, known as the Herxheimer reaction, is not technically considered a side effect because it is a natural part of the human body’s healing process.
