At One Time
Everything was new at one time. People scoffed at “new-fangled” inventions like the car, airplanes, and home computers, yet they’ve become accepted parts of our everyday lives. The same thing is true with medical progress. Alternative treatments like chiropractic care, acupuncture, and nutrition were once balked at but have become acceptable forms of medical treatment. Medicine – both traditional western medicine and alternative medicine – continues to progress in understanding and capability. One of the newest forms of treatment includes the use of ozone in medical care.
How Ozone Treatment Works
Ozone, composed of three oxygen atoms, is a naturally existing gas. Ozone is commonly known for its presence in the Earth’s atmosphere, where it serves as a protective layer against harmful ultraviolet radiation. It also exhibits properties that improve health when administered in a controlled medical setting. Ozone has antimicrobial properties that can disrupt various disease-causing organisms including:
- Viruses
- Yeast
- Fungus
- Bacteria
Some research has shown that, when ozone comes into contact with bodily fluids like blood it creates more red blood cells and proteins. Proteins are the basic building blocks of every cell in your body. When ozone creates more proteins and red blood cells, it creates more oxygen and better healing throughout your body. This process may be effective in treating many conditions. It’s been found beneficial in treating conditions like:
- TMJ
- Osteoarthritis
- Bursitis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- COPD
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- Spinal pain
Ozone has also been found to help relieve oxidative stress, which causes inflammation and disease in the body, and it can help relieve immune system disorders.
IV Ozone Treatments
IV ozone therapy entails administering a blend of ozone gas and oxygen directly into the bloodstream via intravenous infusion. This delivery method allows ozone molecules to circulate throughout the body, where they can exert their therapeutic effects on a cellular level. One of the primary benefits of IV ozone therapy is its ability to enhance oxygen delivery to tissues, thereby improving cellular metabolism and function.
When you receive an IV ozone treatment from Awaken IV Therapy and Wellness, we utilize an ozone saline that will drip into your body. The advantage of this is that we don’t need to use heparin, which is a blood thinner.
As a result of your treatment, you may find that it:
- Strengthens your immune system
- Shortens recovery time after strenuous exercise or physical exertion
- Supports healing of injuries or other wounds
- Decreases chronic inflammation in the body
In addition to its therapeutic benefits, IV ozone therapy is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects, but it’s crucial that it’s administered by trained healthcare professionals. Seeking guidance from a qualified practitioner is crucial to ascertain whether IV ozone therapy is right for you.
