Chronic pain due to illness or injury can take a toll on your daily life – especially if you are unable to do your favorite hobbies or activities or if it interferes with your family life or work life. While there are plenty of over-the-counter medications and products to help with pain management, they don’t always work for everyone and aren’t a one-size-fits-all type of therapy. However, there is another treatment that has shown promise when it comes to pain management and healing, and it is called Ozone therapy. Ozone therapy is a revolutionary new way to treat chronic pain and promote healing in the body. This incredible therapy can treat a wide range of different conditions and provides lasting effects that can help heal the body.
What is Ozone Therapy?
First, let’s learn a bit about Ozone therapy. Ozone itself is a “supercharged” oxygen molecule—instead of having two oxygen atoms, ozone has three, making it more efficient. This therapy, which was developed in the 1950s in Germany, has been used for many years to help heal through the use of this “supercharged” oxygen.
While there are a few types of Ozone therapy—ozone infusion therapy and Ozone sauna therapy—most individuals choose the first option. Ozone therapy is done by taking a bit of the patient’s blood, mixing it with ozone—the supercharged oxygen molecules—and then injecting it back into the patient’s bloodstream. This allows the ozone to mix with the blood inside the body, helping the oxygen get to where it needs to go to promote healing and wellness.
Ozone sauna therapy, on the other hand, allows patients to sit in a sauna room and breathe in the ozone, which can make it ideal for skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
Ozone therapy is often done in several sessions to achieve the maximum results, and these sessions can last anywhere from fifteen minutes to an hour. Depending on your condition, ongoing scheduled treatments can have benefits, so you will need to talk to your doctor regarding the number of treatments that you may need in order to maximize your benefits.
