5 Surprising Benefits of Ozone Therapy

Oxygen bars have been something of a fad in recent years, and it’s no surprise. An influx of oxygen can support easier breathing, better sleep, and higher energy levels. 

Ozone therapy builds on that. Ozone consists of three oxygen molecules. It naturally occurs in the stratosphere, protecting the earth from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. And it can have protective benefits for your body, too. 

Dr. Jonathan Singer and Dr. Gina Dattoli offer ozone therapy here at HealthFirst because it has the potential to help your system in a number of ways. You can visit us in Greenwood Village, Colorado, or Cheyenne, Wyoming, to explore this treatment for yourself.

Here are a few benefits ozone therapy might deliver for you — and they just might surprise you. 

1. Ozone can be effective for treating a range of conditions

When Dr. Dattoli or Dr. Singer applies ozone therapy, it can be beneficial for a broad spectrum of conditions, including:

• Circulatory disorders
• Diabetic ulcers
• Fibromyalgia
• Infected and slow-healing wounds
• Lyme disease
• Osteoarthritis
• Shingles
• Sports injuries

In short, if you’re ailing from a few different problems, ozone therapy may give you a single treatment to address them. 

2. Ozone offers musculoskeletal benefits

Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that focuses on your musculoskeletal system. You might think you need sturdy treatment to treat this sturdy bodily system, but you’d be surprised. Even though it’s a gas, ozone might do the trick. 

One study noted that ozone therapy offers particular benefits here. It can fight inflammation, improve oxygenation to support tissue healing, and reduce oxidative stress. This makes a potentially useful tool in treating joint issues like osteoarthritis. 

3. Ozone helps relieve pain 

Dr. Singer or Dr. Dattoli may recommend ozone therapy to address chronic pain. It’s an increasingly popular treatment in pain medicine and has been researched as a treatment for spinal, knee, and shoulder pain. 

4. The ozone delivery method is tailored to you

Here at HealthFirst, Dr. Singer and Dr. Datolli offer ozone therapy in a few ways. We can deliver it via:

• Injection
• Direct application to a wound
• Intravenously (IV)
• Ozonated fluids like water or olive oil
• Gas administered in a sauna

This allows us to customize your treatment based on what your body needs. If you have a slow-healing wound, for example, applying the ozone therapy directly to it oxygenates the tissue there, supporting your recovery.

5. Ozone can be a cost-effective alternative

One review of clinical trials and randomized studies found that one reason ozone therapy could be a useful treatment option because of its low cost compared to other treatments.
