What is the Ozone Therapy?
We are excited to expand our IV therapy capability with the addition of Ozone Therapy. Most people are familiar with ozone’s role in blocking the sun’s harm ultraviolet rays, but ozone has been used in alternative and naturopathic medicine since the 1900’s to treat a variety of health conditions.
Ozone is a colorless and odorless gas composed of three oxygen atoms (O3), whereas the oxygen we breathe is composed of two oxygen atoms (O2). Unlike oxygen, ozone is extremely unstable because that extra oxygen atom wants to break off and combine with other molecules, this process is known as oxidation. While breathing ozone is harmful to the lungs, the ozone we use clinically is medical grade, administered in therapeutic doses and intravenously.
What are the Benefits of Ozone Therapy?
Bactericidal, Fungicidal and Viricidal
Because of ozone’s positive charge, it has an oxidative effect on organic compounds and can neutralize negatively charged foreign cells such as bacteria, yeast, viruses and parasites, effectively killing active infections.
Detoxification
Ozone may mediate oxidative stress, a leading cause of aging and disease, and may correct and activate metabolic processes in liver and kidney tissues leading to increased toxin elimination.
Anti-inflammatory
Ozone oxidizes the compounds containing double bonds which participate in the development and the sustaining of inflammatory processes. Ozone has been shown in studies to effectively reduce inflammatory cytokines in the body.
Immune System
Ozone both activates the immune system in patients with decreased immune system function or acts as a regulator of the immune system in patients with an overactive immune system.
Autoimmune Conditions
Ozone may modulate the modulate the immune system and rebalance the overactivity seen in many autoimmune conditions.
Improved Blood Circulation
Ozone is an inducer of endothelial nitric oxide synthase leading to improved blood flow and microcirculation.
Improved Energy
Ozone has been shown to improve tissue oxygenation and activate mitochondria leading to increased ATP production and energy.
Pain Relief
Ozone oxidizes the products that act on nerve endings in damaged tissues and determine the intensity of pain felt. It also stimulates the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response. Additionally, ozone can be injected in painful joints to stimulate the regenerative healing process.
Performance Enhancement
ozone therapy may able to improve oxygen metabolism and reduce muscular fatigue.
What conditions can be treated with Ozone?
“While ozone is an amazing therapeutic tool, outside of certain acute infections, it is not a cure-all and should be used a part of a comprehensive treatment program.” -Dr. Greg Jones
Infections of ANY type
Viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic, upper respiratory infections (sinus, ears, nasal, throat), Lyme disease, EBV, herpes, etc.
Inflammatory conditions
Arthritis, fibromyalgia, bursitis, non-healing wounds, bursitis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, allergic reactions, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
Autoimmune conditions
Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease, etc.
Circulatory conditions
Cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, deep vein thrombosis, claudication, diabetic ulcers, etc.
Pain
Post-herpetic neuralgia pain (pain lingering after shingles, herpes zoster infection), tight or spasming muscles. When injected into a joint, tendon or ligament, ozone has a regenerative effect, stimulating repair of musculoskeletal structures in the low back, knees, hips, shoulder, and more.
Other
Chronic fatigue, diabetes, heavy metal toxicity, IBS, mold toxicity, etc
How is Ozone Therapy delivered?
Major Autohemotherapy:
Major Autohemotherapy involves removing a sample of the patient’s blood and mixing it in a saline IV bag with ozone. Then, it is reinfused over approximately 30 minutes.
Regenerative injections(Prolozone):
Your prolotherapy or PRP injection is followed by ozone injections into the same area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about Ozone Therapy at Enovative Wellness.
What is ozone therapy?
Ozone (O3) is a highly reactive form of oxygen that triggers a process called oxidation. In a medical setting, ozone is administered in carefully controlled, therapeutic doses, most often intravenously, to support the body’s natural healing and immune processes.
What are the benefits of ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy is used to fight bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, support detoxification, reduce inflammation, modulate immune function, improve circulation, boost energy production, relieve pain, and enhance physical performance.
What conditions can ozone therapy help with?
Ozone is used for a wide range of issues, including infections (viral, bacterial, fungal, and parasitic), inflammatory and autoimmune conditions like arthritis and fibromyalgia, circulatory issues, chronic pain, and more, including chronic fatigue and diabetes.
How is ozone therapy delivered?
We offer Major Autohemotherapy, where a sample of your blood is drawn, mixed with ozone in a saline IV bag, and reinfused over about 30 minutes, as well as Prolozone, where ozone is injected alongside prolotherapy or PRP directly into an injured joint, tendon, or ligament.
Is ozone therapy a cure-all?
No. As Dr. Jones puts it, ozone is a powerful therapeutic tool, but outside of certain acute infections, it isn’t a cure-all. It works best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific health needs.
Who shouldn't receive ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy isn’t appropriate for everyone. You should avoid it if you’re pregnant, taking blood thinners, have internal bleeding, anemia, a low platelet count, a history of hemorrhagic or apoplectic stroke, a recent heart attack, an ozone allergy, or a G6PD deficiency. We review your health history before recommending treatment.
Do I need a consultation before starting ozone therapy?
Yes. Given the contraindications and the range of delivery methods, we start with a consultation to review your health history and determine whether ozone therapy, and which delivery method, is right for you.
