Having been extensively studied for over a century, ozone therapy has been proven consistent, safe, and has minimal and preventable side effects, including a 2009 article published in the European Journal of Pharmacology demonstrated that a single subcutaneous injection of ozone eliminates any signs of pain.

However, individuals with specific conditions such as Graves’ disease, pregnancy, G6PD deficiency, or those taking immune suppression medications are advised to avoid this therapy. Prior consultation with a healthcare professional is strongly recommended in all cases before considering ozone therapy.

In order for the injured area to heal, it needs vitamins, minerals, and oxygen. When there is a lack of oxygen, lactic acid builds up, which causes pain. Prolozone therapy oxygenates the body and increases circulation.

Then, the area is treated with vitamins and minerals, and finally, ozone is used to infiltrate the area with oxygen.  This results in the tissues receiving what they need to heal. Once the wound heals, the circulation to the area is restored, and the treatment is complete.

Prolozone therapy and Autohemotherapy are distinct treatments both offered at eternalbeing. Prolozone therapy focuses on musculoskeletal pain and injury by injecting a mixture of ozone and nutrients directly into affected areas like joints and tendons, aiming to stimulate natural healing processes and tissue repair.

In contrast, Autohemotherapy involves withdrawing a small amount of the patient’s blood, mixing it with ozone, and re-injecting it into the body, purportedly to boost immune function and circulation. 

While both therapies utilise ozone, they differ in administration and intended outcomes: Prolozone therapy targets localised issues such as knee pain, while Autohemotherapy has broader applications related to immune support. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional to understand the risks and benefits of these alternative treatments fully.

As oxygen-active therapy is cumulative, repeated treatments should provide continued repair to damaged or weakened tissues and longer-term pain relief.

The number of treatments you will need depends on various factors, including the severity of the severity of your injury and your overall health. 

Most patients will need between 3 and 5 sessions of Ozone Active therapy, given at 2-to-3-week intervals.  Nutrition, supplements, and exercise may also be used to help speed up the repair process.

In the first 48 hours, most people experience some level of stability and better range of motion, as well as a 20-80% reduction in joint pain. After the treatment, you may need to apply ice on the joint for 15 minutes at least 2-3 times for the first 48 hours. 

 It is normal to experience pain during the course of treatment, so you may also need to take over-the-counter medicines. Finally, on the day of the procedure, do not do any strenuous cardiovascular exercise and ensure you drink 2-3 litres of water on the day of the procedure.

For most patients, ozone therapy follows a course of three to five treatments. 

Usually, it takes 3-5 treatments to see an acceptable level of improvement in pain and/or mobility. 

Initially, you may notice a decrease in pain levels in the treated area. Additionally, any clicking or grinding sensations in the joint should diminish over time. Another indicator is a reduction in the amount of pain medication required to manage discomfort. 

As the therapy progresses, you will experience improved function and mobility in the affected area. Finally, an increase in your level of exercise and tolerance to physical activity can also signal that Ozone therapy is working effectively.
