Local injection
Local injection ozone therapy involves injecting a gaseous mixture of oxygen and ozone directly into the target area, often close to the lesion or area of discomfort. This method allows ozone to be delivered directly where it is needed, optimising its effectiveness.
Versatility
This method can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including osteoarthritis, herniated discs, tendonitis, muscle injuries, infections, inflammatory conditions and wound healing problems.
Precision
Local injection allows maximum precision in targeting specific areas, ensuring that the ozone reaches the area to be treated directly.
Wide range of effects
In addition to its antimicrobial properties, which make it a useful option for treating local infections, ozone promotes cell regeneration by improving vascularisation and activating cell metabolism. The anti-inflammatory effects of ozone are particularly effective in the case of localised pathology.
Process
As with other routes of administration, ozone is first generated using a special machine that converts medical oxygen (O2) into ozone (O3). A fine needle is then used to deliver the ozone in a targeted manner, usually close to the lesion or area to be treated. The depth of injection and the concentration of ozone are carefully adjusted according to the animal's specific medical condition.
Therapeutic combinations
Local ozone injection can be combined with another approach, such as autohomotherapy or rectal insufflation , to maximise the beneficial effects on your pet's condition.
Each method provides specific benefits. Local injections of ozone therapy specifically target a localised area, while autohemotherapy and rectal insufflation act at systemic levels. Combining these methods makes it possible to treat both local problems and stimulate the immune system on a global scale, creating a more comprehensive overall approach and even a synergy of therapeutic effects.
The combination of different ozone therapy methods can be discussed with our vets during a consultation. They will then be able to assess and consider the most appropriate approach for your pet, depending on its situation.
