Ozone Therapy
What is ozone joint therapy?
Ozone joint therapy is a non-surgical treatment option for chronic knee pain caused by osteoarthritis.
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that results from chronic inflammation that damages the protective cartilage that covers the end of your bones. After being exposed to chronic inflammation for several years, the cartilage begins to break down, causing the underlying bone to experience increased contact forces.
Over time, the bone reacts by forming bone spurs and bone bruises (called bone marrow lesions). This results in the loss of the lubrication and cushioning of the cartilage which leads to compensation and dysfunctional biomechanics. Injections of ozone into your damaged knee joint can reduce inflammation and deactivate proteins that break down cartilage tissue. It also relieves pain improving your quality of life.
Am I a candidate for ozone joint therapy?
You might be a candidate for ozone joint therapy if you’re limited by persistent knee pain but aren’t ready for surgery, or if your symptoms are minimal but you want to prevent further damage.
Reflex Knee Specialists offers comprehensive knee evaluations to identify the cause of your pain. Your provider performs a physical exam and may use advanced diagnostic ultrasound technology to confirm your diagnosis.
Based on the results, your provider may recommend ozone joint therapy for long-lasting pain relief. Ozone has been demonstrated to augment the clinical benefit when combined with other nonsurgical options, such as viscosupplementation.
