Ozone Therapy

 

Harnessing oxygen’s healing power for natural tissue regeneration

What It Is

Stimulating Natural Healing

Medical ozone therapy uses a precise mixture of ozone and oxygen to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms. When introduced to damaged tissue, ozone triggers a cascade of beneficial responses including improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced cellular repair.

Medical Ozone

A therapeutic gas consisting of three oxygen atoms (O₃) that, when applied in controlled medical concentrations, promotes tissue healing and reduces pain through multiple biological mechanisms.

Unlike synthetic medications, ozone works with your body's existing systems. It increases oxygen delivery to tissues, activates antioxidant enzymes, and modulates the immune response—all contributing to pain relief and tissue regeneration.

Benefits

Why Consider Ozone Therapy

Natural Approach

Works with your body's own healing systems rather than masking symptoms.

Minimal Side Effects

When properly administered, ozone therapy has an excellent safety profile.

Surgery Alternative

May help some patients avoid or delay surgical intervention.

Anti-Inflammatory

Reduces inflammation at the cellular level without steroids.

Conditions Treated

When Ozone Therapy May Help

Herniated or bulging discs

Degenerative disc disease

Joint arthritis

Chronic muscle pain

Tendinopathy

Failed back surgery syndrome

The Procedure

What to Expect

Ozone can be administered in several ways depending on the condition being treated. For disc problems, it may be injected directly into or around the disc under imaging guidance. For joint conditions, it's injected into the joint space. The procedure is typically quick and well-tolerated.

A series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. The number and frequency of sessions depends on your specific condition and response to treatment.

Combined approach: Ozone therapy is often most effective when combined with other treatments such as physical therapy and lifestyle modifications.

Highly Recommend

The conscious sedation procedure was handled with such care and expertise. Dr Smit explained every step, answered all my questions, and made what I thought would be a stressful experience remarkably comfortable. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
