What is Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy?
Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy involves the precise introduction of a medical-grade ozone-oxygen mixture into joint spaces.
This technique targets joint pathologies directly, addressing both the underlying causes and symptoms of joint-related ailments.
By promoting improved oxygen utilisation and reducing inflammation, this therapy enhances joint function and supports recovery.
How Does Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy Work?
Ozone therapy harnesses the powerful properties of ozone gas, carefully administered to benefit joint structures and surrounding tissues.
Ozone Introduction
Medical-grade ozone is delivered directly into the joint space.
Joint Movement
Gentle movement of the joint (such as flexion and extension) distributes the ozone mixture throughout the joint capsule.
Therapeutic Effects
Ozone promotes anti-inflammatory responses, enhances circulation, and stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms.

What Conditions May the Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy Help?
Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy is highly versatile and effective for addressing a wide range of joint-related conditions.
Arthritis (Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis): Reduces pain and inflammation, improving joint function and mobility for individuals living with chronic arthritis.
Joint Pain Caused by Injury or Overuse: Helps manage discomfort and promotes healing for joints affected by sports injuries, repetitive stress, or acute trauma.
Tendinitis: Eases pain and inflammation in tendons, supporting recovery and preventing further damage.
