Ozone Injections

What is an Ozone Injection?

Ozone Injections are safe, affordable, and Effective. We use ozone gas to treat various medical conditions. This approach utilizes the unique properties of ozone to promote healing and reduce inflammation. The injections are administered directly into the affected areas, where ozone’s oxidative potential stimulates circulation, oxygenates tissue, and alleviates pain.

What are the side effects of ozone?

It’s oxygen, so pretty much none. Getting injected cam leave you feeling sore though. Mainly in the form of a deep feeling of pressure or sometimes burning that will begin to dissipate within minutes and be completely gone within 24 hours. The most dangerous type of ozone treatment (which we don’t do) is safer than aspirin.

Cortisone Vs OZone injections

Cortisone shots are very popular and they do a great job at masking pain and decreasing inflammation. They also, unfortunately, break tissue and are setting you up for surgery down the road.

Ozone injections don’t mask pain, they give the body oxygen needed to heal the affected area. They aren’t as instant as a drug but they can help you heal and prevent surgery.
