Ozone Therapy

Could your furry family member benefit from ozone therapy?

Ozone is an energized form of oxygen that, when used strategically, can be a powerful sterilizer that destroys bacteria and viruses. This is achieved through a process called oxidation. And because ozone reverts to oxygen once it’s been used, it is widely accepted as a safe, effective, and eco-friendly treatment method. 

In nature, ozone is produced by lightning strikes, and can also be found within the atmospheric layer that encircles the Earth. In veterinary medicine, we can recreate this naturally occurring substance by passing oxygen through an electric coil, thereby transforming ordinary O2 into the super-oxygen O3, otherwise known as ozone.

Why is ozone therapy so effective?

Ozone has many properties that make it ideal for medical use. Some of these benefits include:

• Stimulates the body’s intake and utilization of oxygen
• Regulates the immune system
• Improves circulation
• Reduces inflammation

What can ozone therapy be used to treat?

There are a wide variety of medical conditions that can be treated and managed through ozone therapy. These may include, but are not limited to:

• Arthritis
• Degenerative joint disease
• Chronic pain
• Intestinal diseases
