Benefits of Ozone Therapy: Chronic Pain and the Immune System

Patients suffering from chronic illnesses or various types of pain are often accompanied by feelings of discomfort and uncertainty every day. Over time, persistent pain can prevent people from enjoying their favorite activities, working, or even socializing with friends.

Untreated pain turns into chronic pain, leading not only to serious physical issues but also significantly impacting a person’s life and psychological well-being. Many patients with chronic pain suffer from depression, anxiety, fear, and a decline in not only sleep but overall quality of life.

Clinic Agatas – A Holistic Approach to Patients

Many patients mistakenly believe that medications and surgery are the only ways to relieve chronic pain and that a single specialist visit is sufficient. Clinic Agatas specialists take a holistic approach to patients: doctors consult with each other to find the best possible solution for each individual case, discussing and creating a treatment plan with the patient to achieve the best possible outcome. Clinic Agatas applies a variety of advanced pain treatment methods used worldwide. If necessary, surgical spinal procedures are also performed.

We believe that a single specialist may not always resolve all of a patient’s issues, but if the patient trusts the doctor and the entire team, we can achieve remarkable results together.

During the initial consultation, after evaluating the individual case, not only does a pain specialist, an anesthesiologist-reanimatologist, get involved in pain management and treatment, but also a physiotherapist, rheumatologist, psychologist or psychiatrist, dietitian, masseur, and, if needed, a neurosurgeon. Clinic Agatas’ ozone therapist may also prescribe a course of ozone therapy to relieve pain.

How Does Ozone Therapy Work?

Ozone therapy combines the possibilities of modern technology and nature. Very small doses of ozone can improve the quality of life for many patients with serious conditions. Therapy may be highly beneficial for patients with diabetes, psoriasis, and other skin, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular diseases.

Ozone therapy helps with focus, provides energy, strengthens immunity, and reduces inflammation. Ozone, a natural gas composed of three oxygen atoms, has antimicrobial properties that help fight viruses, bacteria, and fungal infections.

Ozone therapy is a non-medicinal treatment aimed at improving overall body condition. It is often performed intravenously, known as major autohemotherapy. During this procedure, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient, enriched with ozone using special equipment, and then re-infused. Oxygen levels in the blood increase immediately, improving heart and brain function, leaving the patient feeling more energetic and alert. It can also help reduce inflammation and pain.

Ozone therapy addresses chronic pain in two ways – by reducing inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration.

Anti-inflammatory Properties of Ozone

Ozone therapy can help reduce inflammation and inhibit oxidative processes. With anti-inflammatory properties, ozone promotes the activity of antioxidant enzymes and supports the body’s natural recovery process. Cells regenerate, healing injured tissues that cause chronic pain.

Therefore, ozone therapy is often recommended for patients with damaged cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and intervertebral discs, as well as those with osteoarthritis. 

Clinic Agatas doctors recommend ozone therapy not only for chronic disease management but also for general immune system support. It is best to undergo therapy in spring and autumn when viral diseases start to spread.

Ozone therapy is prescribed by an ozone therapist, who can assess the patient’s current clinical condition. If you are motivated to seek treatment, Clinic Agatas specialists will help you achieve the best possible outcome and answer the question, “Do you remember who you are without the pain?”
