Understanding Ozone Therapy
Ozone is a special kind of oxygen made of three oxygen atoms. In medicine, doctors use ozone in a controlled way to help the body for better healing. When ozone is used in medical specialities, it works by increasing oxygen in the body and improving blood flow. When used for pain relief, ozone helps reduce swelling and repair damaged tissues. It can be injected into joints, muscles, or blood to promote healing.
Ozone has strong anti-inflammatory effects, which means it helps reduce pain and swelling. It also supports the body’s natural ability to repair itself by helping new and healthy cells grow. This makes it useful for treating joint pain, back pain, and muscle injuries. Because ozone is natural, many doctors use it as an alternative to medicines for long-term pain relief and faster healing.
Ozone Therapy For Different Pain Conditions
Herniated Disc and Sciatica
For a herniated disc and sciatica, doctors inject ozone gas into the damaged disc and the swollen nerve using a special X-ray for guidance. Ozone helps the disc heal from the inside and reduces swelling around the nerve. This helps relieve pain and improves movement.
Knee Osteoarthritis
For people with knee arthritis, injecting ozone into the joint helps reduce swelling and pain. It also increases oxygen in the tissues, which helps the knee cartilage and joint lining work better. This can make movement easier and reduce discomfort.
Facet Joint and Sacroiliac Joint Pain
Ozone injections can help people with facet joint and sacroiliac joint pain by reducing inflammation and improving the body's healing process. Ozone balances the immune system and reduces damage caused by long-term swelling. Unlike steroids, which only lower inflammation, ozone therapy helps the body heal naturally and provides long-lasting pain relief.
Myofascial Pain and Fibromyalgia
Ozone therapy helps with muscle and body pain, like myofascial pain and fibromyalgia. It works by reducing swelling and improving healing. Doctors inject ozone into painful spots, called trigger points, to ease discomfort and make movement easier.
Cancer-Related Pain
Blocking certain nerves responsible for pain signals in cancer patients helps them live without pain.

How Ozone Therapy Performed
- Prepared from Oxygen using an Ozone Generator
- The generator controls oxygen flow to set the right ozone concentration
- Sterile syringes, tubes, and filters ensure a safe procedure
- The painful joint, muscle, or tissue is identified for treatment
- Ozone is carefully injected to reduce pain and swelling
- Ultrasound or X-rays guided injections for accuracy
- The patient is observed briefly after the procedure
- Normal activities can be resumed with necessary aftercare
