Ozone Therapy
The name ozone is derived from the Greek word ‘ozein’, meaning “to smell or reek.” The smell of ozone can often be experienced near electrical transformers or nearby lightning strikes.
Ozone (O3) is a very unstable molecule. It breaks down into an Oxygen molecule (O2) and a singlet active Oxygen atom in about 20 minutes, liberating a lot of energy. Ozone is an active and reactive form of oxygen that quickly combines with blood, lymph, and other tissues of the body and purifies them.
Ozone is given in addition to other therapeutic methods. It is given as complementary or supportive therapy. Medical Ozone, when properly and responsibly handled for the correct indication, is safe, practical, effective, and economic. Ozone can be used in multiple forms for pain alleviation like intramuscular, periarticular, Intra-articular, Ozone Nucleolysis, and Osteoarthritis.
