What is ozone therapy?
Ozone is a medical-grade form of oxygen containing three atoms of oxygen (O3). By comparison, the oxygen in the air you breathe consists of two atoms (O2). The extra atom gives ozone the ability to trigger chemical reactions inside your body that promote healing.
Ozone therapy introduces ozone into your body. Your FIX Medical Group provider uses one of several techniques during your ozone therapy, depending on the reason for your treatment.
When would I need ozone therapy?
Inside your body, ozone serves as a powerful antioxidant that reduces inflammation. Ozone therapy improves your health by strengthening your immune system and increasing blood oxygen levels. The treatment also effectively kills bacteria, viruses, and yeasts.
Ozone therapy eases pain and treats many health conditions, including:
- Herniated discs
- Osteoarthritis
- Diabetic ulcers
- Fibromyalgia
- Tendinitis
- Wounds
- Infections (including antibiotic-resistant infections)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Immune deficiency disorders
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Your FIX Medical Group provider could recommend ozone therapy to treat many musculoskeletal injuries.
How do I receive ozone therapy?
Your provider administers ozone therapy in several forms.
Topical ozone therapy
If you’ve suffered a wound or skin condition, your provider applies ozone to your skin using a protective cover to hold the gas near your skin or an ozone-infused oil or gel.
Intramuscular injection
Your provider can inject your ozone therapy. An injection can target any area but is especially beneficial for problems like muscle pain and spine problems.
Intravenous (IV) infusion
An IV infusion sends ozone directly into your bloodstream, treating internal diseases and infections. In most cases, your provider takes a sample of your blood, adds the gas, and then returns the treated blood to your body. This technique treats bodywide diseases and infections.
10-pass ozone therapy
10-pass therapy delivers a higher dose of ozone than a single IV infusion. Like a one-time infusion, your provider removes blood using the IV, adds ozone, and returns it to your body. But in the 10-pass technique, they repeat the process 10 times.
Call FIX Medical Group today or book an appointment online if you have a slow-healing wound, infection, chronic pain, or any lingering condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Ozone Therapy and How Does It Work?
Ozone therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses medical-grade ozone, a specialized form of oxygen, to support the body’s natural healing processes. When administered in controlled medical doses, ozone can help improve oxygen utilization, stimulate circulation, and support tissue repair. At FIX Medical Group in San Diego, ozone therapy is often used as part of a broader integrative or regenerative treatment plan to help reduce inflammation and support recovery from joint pain, back pain, and other chronic conditions.
What Conditions Can Ozone Therapy Help With?
Ozone therapy may be recommended for a variety of conditions related to inflammation, chronic pain, and tissue recovery. In many San Diego clinics, it is used to support treatment for musculoskeletal pain, joint discomfort, back pain, knee pain, soft tissue injuries, and certain chronic inflammatory conditions. It is typically combined with other regenerative or functional medicine therapies for the best results and faster recovery.
How Many Ozone Therapy Sessions Are Needed?
The number of ozone therapy sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and how your body responds. Some patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, while others benefit from a structured treatment plan recommended by their provider. Your doctor will determine the right plan based on your symptoms, pain level, and recovery goals.
Is Ozone Therapy Covered by Insurance in San Diego?
Ozone therapy is generally considered a regenerative or elective treatment, which means it is not always covered by insurance. Coverage policies vary between providers, so patients are encouraged to contact their insurance company directly to verify benefits. Our San Diego team can also help guide you through your options.
Are There Side Effects from Ozone Therapy?
When administered by a trained medical professional, ozone therapy is typically well tolerated. Some patients may experience mild, temporary effects such as soreness, swelling, or irritation near the treatment area—especially when treating areas like the knee, shoulder, or lower back. These symptoms usually resolve quickly.
