More About Ozone Therapy
Extracorporeal blood ozonation and oxygenation (EBOO) is another type of ozone therapy, more similar to dialysis. This process starts by drawing blood, which is then passed through a specialized dialysis filter. During this part, the blood is ozonated—cleaned of harmful debris such as germs, heavy metals, and toxins.
Once the blood has been ozonated, medical professionals administer it into your body through a different vein to ensure a closed system. This process may take up to 45 minutes and is effective in managing conditions such as arthritis and autoimmune disorders.
Ozone therapy works by creating mild oxidative stress in your body—activating the same pathway in your body that is triggered during exercise and fasting. This process may improve the immune system, enhance microcirculation, and stimulate your body’s natural healing process.
At Iowa Wellness Center, we have 4 options for administering ozone therapy in North Liberty.
- Ozone Gas Injection: We use small volumes (5-15ml) of a gaseous mixture of oxygen and ozone.
- Prolozone Injection: Prior to ozone therapy, we mix methyl B12, pyridoxine, dextrose, and procaine into a solution to supplement the ozone gas injection.
- PRP + Ozone Injection: The medical staff swiftly conducts a blood draw to acquire platelet-rich plasma (PRP). We add ozone to the PRP, which results in increased growth factors.
- Stem Cells/Exosomes + Ozone Injection: Ozone gas injections are used to boost the effectiveness of stem cell treatment.
The number of ozone therapy sessions can vary for each patient and are based on individual health goals. Typically, we recommend scheduling 5 to 10 ozone therapy sessions, spaced a week or two apart, to achieve the best results. Your healthcare team will assess your progress and may recommend more sessions to sustain benefits.
- Immune System Support: Ozone therapy boosts the immune system by activating immune cells and enhances their functionality. The increased immune response helps the body more efficiently fight off infections and diseases.
- Improved Blood Circulation: By increasing oxygen levels in the blood, ozone therapy may enable better nutrient delivery to your body. This improved circulation can help alleviate symptoms of circulatory disorders while also improving upon athletic performance.
- Anti-Aging: Oxidative stress is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in your body, which can lead to cell damage and is a leading cause of aging. Ozone therapy can help mediate oxidative stress and contribute to longevity.
- Pain Relief: Ozone therapy may improve microcirculation and address inflammatory processes.
We have some simple guidelines to help you have the best treatment experience. If you can adhere to these guidelines, it will ensure you get the best possible treatment experience and results.
- Prepare for your blood draw by getting plenty of sleep the night before.
