Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy, simply put, is the process of adding oxygen to tissue, and bringing micro circulation to tissue. When you bring more oxygen into the body to an area that is inflamed, the inflammation can be reduced. Ozone therapy is used in cancer treatments as cancer cells do not thrive in an oxygenated environment. It has also been proven to be effective for treating bruising, trauma, infections and more.

Ozone therapy, though relatively new to veterinary medicine, has been around for over 100 years and is used extensively in human medicine in countries in around the world.

Ozone is an oxygen derivative and is known primarily for its ecological role in the Earth’s balance, absorbing most of the ultraviolet radiation from the sun and preventing it from reaching humans in a harmful way.

It is an unstable gas that cannot be stored; in fact, it dissolves in a very short time. Ozone is totally neutral to the body, and in fact, it does not (i) modify pH, (ii) irritate skin or mucous membranes, (iii) damage hair or clothing, (iv) interact with drugs, and (v) cause allergic reactions. This molecule has been subjected to countless studies, and in particular, its strong oxidation capacity has been tested in order to underline its disinfectant and sanitizing properties principally applied as a disinfectant of drinking and waste water 

Ozone therapy is performed every one to four weeks, depending on the severity of the disease. In some cases, an initial protocol of twice-weekly treatments is initiated. 

Ozone therapy has immune-modulating, antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer effects.
