Ozone Therapy for Joint Pain
A natural, non-surgical solution to reduce inflammation and restore joint function
About Ozone Joint Therapy
Ozone therapy is a natural treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃) to reduce inflammation and promote healing in painful joints. This innovative approach can help manage chronic joint conditions without surgery or long-term medication use by stimulating your body's natural healing processes.
How It Works
- Reduces joint inflammation and swelling
- Stimulates cartilage and tissue repair
- Improves oxygen utilization in joint tissues
Treatment Areas
- Knee joints: Osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament issues
- Shoulder joints: Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, arthritis
- Spinal joints: Herniated discs, facet arthritis, degenerative disc disease

Treatment Procedure
Preparation
The treatment area is cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia. Imaging guidance (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) may be used to precisely locate the joint for optimal results.
Note: No special preparation is needed before your appointment, but we recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area.
Ozone Injection
A precise mixture of medical ozone and oxygen is injected into the joint space or surrounding tissues using a very fine needle. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the joint being treated.
During Treatment
Most patients feel only mild pressure during the injection.
Ozone Concentration
Precisely calibrated for each joint and condition.
Aftercare
After brief monitoring, most patients can go home the same day. Mild soreness may occur for 1-2 days. Many patients require 3-5 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart for optimal results.
Post-Treatment Instructions
- •Rest the treated joint for 24-48 hours
- •Apply ice if needed for discomfort
- •Avoid strenuous activity for 3 days
- •Stay well hydrated
