Arthritis is an obstacle to many sufferers, causing inflammation, pain and making joints sensitive to touch even. It can occur in the hands, wrists, elbows, hips, neck, knees, ankles or feet. Treatment for arthritis tries to ease these symptoms.

- Ozone therapy.
Benefits of Ozone therapy in Arthritis treatment
Ozone therapy makes use of the application of a concentration of oxygen and ozone. The compound dissolves quickly in the body and comes in contact with the molecules, generating penetrative oxidative stress. The benefits thereof are:
- Improvement of oxygenation in the tissue by increasing oxygen transport capacity.
- The antiplatelet effect, ie. improved arterial circulation.
- An improved effect on the body’s antioxidant systems.
- Bactericidal and disinfectant effects.
- It helps the immune system combat infections and autoimmune diseases.
One of the benefits of treatment with ozone therapy in osteoarthritis is that in many cases, it becomes possible to reduce the medication taken for this. It also seems that recovery becomes quicker and as a patient starts feeling better, so their state of mind improves too. There are also no side effects from ozone therapy as a patient may encounter with drug treatment.
This indicates why ozone therapy is being used more and more in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and conditions, and with chronic conditions like arthritis. It is a quick, effective and painless technique, which can be applied on an outpatient basis.
