What is it?

Ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses a mixture of oxygen and ozone for therapeutic purposes. It can be administered in several ways—such as local injections, intravenous applications, or insufflations—depending on the patient’s needs. Ozone (O₃) helps activate and regulate the body’s oxidative stress mechanisms, enhancing the ability to manage chronic inflammation and infection.

What is it used for and what diseases or chronic pains does it treat?

Ozone therapy is particularly valuable in treating a range of medical conditions linked to pain and chronic inflammation. It is commonly used for osteoarthritis, herniated discs, low back pain, and sciatica, helping reduce inflammation, improve tissue oxygenation, and stimulate regenerative processes. It may also benefit patients with fibromyalgia, vascular disorders, and hard-to-heal ulcers, offering a non-invasive, low-risk option for those seeking to improve their quality of life without relying solely on medication.

Benefits compared to other treatments

Ozone therapy has no significant side effects and does not cause dependence like certain medications. It also boosts immune function, enhances cellular oxygenation, and accelerates recovery—all without requiring invasive procedures.
