Introduction to Ozone

2025-01-07 111

The term ozone is becoming increasingly familiar to patients and healthcare workers, but the awareness of what it is, its effects, indications, principles, and contraindications varies greatly. Let's take a brief introduction to ozone here.
 
Ozone is a trace gas in the Earth's atmosphere, which has extremely poor stability at room temperature and pressure, and can decompose into oxygen on its own.
 
1、 Widely applicable aspects of ozone
1. Dentistry has been using ozone for a long time and often produces aqueous solutions containing ozone for cleaning wounds; Improve wound oxygen supply; Strong surgical disinfectants, etc.
2. Ozone water can be used to disinfect wounds and treat gynecological diseases, sexually transmitted diseases, and skin diseases caused by various bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
3. Medical ozone can be used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment of neck, shoulder, waist, and leg pain; The treatment effect of acute and recovery periods of cerebral hemorrhage is significant, and cerebral oxygen supply can be improved from multiple aspects.
4. Medical ozone can inhibit the growth of over 90% of lung, breast, and uterine tumor cells.
5. Medical ozone can also cure other viral diseases such as AIDS and herpes zoster.
 
2、 Ozone for clinical indications

Osteoarthritis: cervical spondylosis, cervical disc herniation, costochondritis, lumbar disc herniation, coccyx pain, knee arthritis, heel pain, temporomandibular joint dysfunction syndrome, degenerative osteoarthritis, gouty arthritis, etc.

Soft arrangement: acute and chronic lumbar sprains, lumbar muscle strain, supraspinatus interspinous ligament inflammation, lumbar and back myofascial inflammation, fibromyalgia syndrome, tenosynovitis, shoulder periarthritis, tennis elbow, soft arrangement damage, etc.

3、 The principle of ozone injection into the cervical and lumbar intervertebral discs:

Ozone has extremely strong oxidizing properties, as well as anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Injecting it into the outstanding intervertebral disc nucleus pulposus arrangement can instantly oxidize the proteoglycans in the nucleus pulposus arrangement and damage the nucleus pulposus cells, causing the function of proteoglycans to be lost and the cells to undergo proteoglycan reduction. The osmotic pressure of the nucleus pulposus arrangement cannot be maintained, resulting in water loss and atrophy.

Advantages: High safety factor, partial fine needle puncture, primary effect on nucleus pulposus, no impact on other arrangements; Minimally invasive treatment has lower risks, is painless, more effective than conservative treatment, eliminates the pain of surgery, and has no significant complications. Ozone itself has a disinfectant effect, greatly reducing the timing of infection.

4、 Principle of ozone therapy for knee joint lesions:

Diseases such as knee synovitis, bursitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and degenerative diseases of the femoral joint; Ozone injection therapy inside the joint cavity can eliminate joint swelling and reduce joint productivity within 6-24 hours, achieving the treatment of osteoarthritis.

Advantages: Green and natural comprehensive therapy is a new approach for targeted treatment of patients' pain, ensuring the effectiveness and relevance of treatment.

5、 Principle of ozone therapy for hip joint lesions:

Femoral head necrosis: Ischemia is the main culprit of femoral head necrosis. If the problem of ischemia is solved, it is fundamentally cured of femoral head necrosis. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties in an instant, and after injection, it is reduced to oxygen, increasing blood oxygen concentration and ensuring normal blood supply to the femoral head, thus fundamentally treating the condition. Together, ozone can quickly relieve some aseptic inflammation, eliminate fluid accumulation, and correct bone structure. If we cooperate again with the "partial joint capsule arc blade needle release" therapy, the best effect will be achieved.

6、 Principle of ozone therapy for partial soft tissue lesions:

Acute and chronic soft tissue injuries such as lumbar muscle strain and shoulder periarthritis are primarily caused by aseptic inflammation. Inject ozone into the affected area, utilizing the unique agile anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of ozone to improve discomfort.
 
7、 Principle of ozone therapy for piriformis syndrome:
 
The intention of treating piriformis syndrome is to alleviate a series of acute and chronic aseptic inflammatory processes such as congestion, edema, spasm, and hypertrophy of the piriformis muscle. It not only provides quick pain relief, but also has significant effects in reducing congestion, promoting edema dissipation, and improving function.
 
8、 Principle of ozone therapy for rheumatoid arthritis:
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease, and ozone has the effects of improving the intra-articular environment, anti immune complex, expanding blood vessels, and improving reflux. Ozone can directly act on nerve endings and achieve analgesic effects, which is better than traditional Chinese medicine treatment.

9、 Taboos of ozone therapy
1. Ozone is strictly prohibited from being directly inhaled into the lungs, as it can damage alveolar epithelial cells.
2. Ozone has the effect of activating the body to innovate, and hyperthyroidism patients should avoid ozone treatment.
3. Patients with myocardial infarction, hypotension, internal bleeding, hypocalcemia, hypoglycemia, pregnant women, thrombocytopenia, ozone allergy, acute ethanol poisoning, citrus allergy (using sodium citrate), coagulation disorders (such as hemophilia), favism, etc. cannot be treated with ozone therapy.
