Ozone Therapy To Increase Healing In North Scottsdale AZ. How It Worked For Me

Chiropractic North Scottsdale AZ Ozone Therapy

Ozone treatments are becoming more popular as an alternative to steroid injections and other more invasive therapies. Ozone therapy has been around for more than a century. It is used for improving blood flow, how the body uses oxygen, increasing the immune, and much more. Ozone therapy is part of a family of therapies known as oxidative medicine. Other therapies in this family include intravenous Vitamin C, Ultraviolet, and hydrogen peroxide. Our immune cells, or the white blood cells, fight the infection by hitting what is causing the infection. Oxygen helps with this, and because ozone is made of oxygen, it expedites this healing process. Contact my North Scottsdale AZ chiropractic clinic today to learn more about Ozone Therapy.


How It Really Works In North Scottsdale AZ

For joint and muscle injuries, injecting medical ozone into the blood is the most effective method of treating it. Even stem cell therapy uses ozone to inject along with the stem cells to assist in their growth benefit. One example is injecting ozone into a knee joint to increase the healing time for a meniscal tear. I personally had this done in my office, and my knee felt about 75% better immediately after the injection. Initially, a preparatory injection that may include Vitamin B-12, and sometimes other natural substances is injected into the joint. Then a syringe filled with a specific amount of ozone gas is injected directly into the joint.

There is very little pain if any. I have had 2 injections over a 2-week period, and have noticed that my knee is less inflamed, and I’m able to walk much easier with a large extruded tear in my right medial meniscus. Another benefit to this therapy, unlike cortisone injections that will interfere with the stem cells being able to heal the damage, ozone treatments will not affect my ability to receive regenerative therapy like stem cells in the next few weeks when I’m ready to have them done. The ozone has expedited the healing process and has given me the ability to exercise once again.


Ozone Therapy Is Used For The Loss Of Smell From COVID And Other Causes?

Yes, it is. And great results are received by this treatment. With this method of ozone therapy, it is not injected into the body by a needle. It is applied by the patient by inhaling through their nose, via a needless syringe. After a few days, patients generally report an increase in smell by about 30%. A few treatments may be necessary, generally 2 weeks apart, allowing them to be able to get their sense of smell back to 100%.

By increasing oxygen to the olfactory organs, the body can restore the sense of smell much faster than leaving it to heal on its own. The benefit is permanent from what has been demonstrated in those who have lost their sense of smell from COVID. Some have not gotten their sense of smell back in as long as 6 months or more. This treatment is allowing these people to get their lives back to normal once again.


Muscle Trigger Points And Dysfunction Can Be Treated With Ozone As Well

Many people suffer from trigger points or knots in muscles that just don’t seem to respond to soft tissue massage, or physical therapy over time. Once again, a syringe is filled with the ozone and injected directly into the trigger point or muscle. This assists the body in breaking up and releasing the muscle by-products that caused the trigger point or spasm in the first place. Again, a few treatments may be necessary, but relief is felt quickly.


There are many other methods of treatment with ozone, and I couldn’t possibly mention all of them in this article. If you have any questions as to whether ozone therapy can work for you, please call my office for a complimentary consultation.
