Ozone Injection Therapy: Natural Relief for Inflammation, Joint Pain, and Disc Issues

A Safe, Oxygen-Based Approach to Healing and Recovery

If you’re dealing with chronic joint pain, disc issues, or soft tissue inflammation, ozone injection therapy offers a natural, safe, and science-backed option that works with your body’s healing processes.

At Form Fitness & Chiropractic, we offer medical-grade ozone injections to help patients reduce inflammation, restore motion, and improve overall function—without relying on steroids, long-term medications, or surgery.

What Is Ozone Therapy?

Ozone (O₃) is a highly energized form of oxygen made up of three oxygen atoms. In a clinical setting, ozone gas is used in precise doses and injected into muscles, joints, discs, or connective tissue to trigger localized healing and relief.

Once introduced to the body, ozone helps:

• Increase oxygen delivery to the tissues
• Break the inflammatory cycle
• Stimulate the release of natural pain-reducing chemicals
• Improve blood flow to areas that are slow to heal

✅ The result: less pain, improved movement, and faster recovery using a safe, natural compound your body already understands—oxygen.

Conditions We Treat with Ozone Therapy

At Form, ozone injections are used to help manage:

• Herniated or degenerative spinal discs
• Chronic low back pain or sciatica
• Shoulder, hip, or knee pain
• SI joint dysfunction
• Postural strain and muscular pain
• Neck stiffness and whiplash-related inflammation
• Plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, or tendinopathies

Because ozone works at the source of inflammation, it’s highly effective for patients who haven’t responded to other conservative treatments.

How Ozone Works in the Body

When injected into a targeted area, ozone immediately begins to:

1. Break into oxygen (O₂) and a reactive oxygen molecule (O₁)
2. This reactive molecule acts as a brief signal to the immune system, promoting cleanup of waste and stimulating healing pathways
3. It also reduces oxidative stress and modulates pain pathways, helping the area calm down and recover more efficiently

🧪 A study published in Pain Physician (2018) found that ozone was effective in reducing chronic low back pain associated with disc herniation, with minimal side effects and long-term improvements in function.

Ozone Therapy vs. Cortisone Injections

Ozone Therapy vs. Cortisone Injections: What’s the Difference?

✅ Ozone Therapy

• How it works: Boosts local oxygenation, reduces inflammation naturally, and encourages the body’s own healing response.
• Effect on tissues: Supports cleanup of damaged cells without weakening soft tissue.
• Side effects: Extremely low risk; made from medical-grade oxygen.
• Treatment frequency: Typically fewer sessions needed.
• Systemic impact: No known whole-body effects; safe for most patients.

⚠️ Cortisone Injections

• How it works: Suppresses inflammation by blocking immune signaling—but doesn’t address root cause.
• Effect on tissues: May weaken cartilage and tendons over time, especially with repeated use.
• Side effects: Risk of tissue thinning, elevated blood sugar, or immune suppression.
• Treatment frequency: Often repeated every few months.
• Systemic impact: May have broader effects on metabolism and immune function.

• Chiropractic adjustments to restore alignment and nerve flow
• E-Stim and soft tissue therapy for muscle recovery
