Ozone Therapy for Pain Management and More

Although ozone's medicinal effects were discovered in the 19th century and used for wound treatment during World War I, equipment that was capable of reliably delivering pure oxygen-ozone mixtures was not available until the late 1950s. Since then, medical ozone has been used in a variety of methods to treat humans and animals.

We invite patients seeking help for intestinal problems, poor wound healing, skin conditions and chronic joint pain from San Jose to Sacramento to give us a call at 925.277.1100 or send us an email. Gracer Medical Group is on Norris Canyon Road in San Ramon, just off Crow Canyon Road. We tackle medical conditions that are difficult to treat like pain management for people from Bakersfield to communities near us like Walnut Creek, Danville, Dublin and Pleasanton.

What is ozone therapy? It involves mixing small and carefully controlled amounts of ozone and medical grade oxygen and then introducing the mixture into the body by various means. It has proven effective in treating chronic bacterial and viral infections that don't respond well to conventional antibiotic treatments. It is also in widespread use for the treatment of musculoskeletal and spinal disc conditions.

The result - a powerful oxidant, ozone delivers a 'shock' to the body. This activates the antioxidant systems, causing the release of cytokines and other immune stimulating factors that lead to healing. Men and women from Chico to San Jose have found pain relief with ozone therapy.
