Ozone and the Disinfecting Properties of Oxygen
Ozone Injection Therapy is a cutting-edge treatment offered at the Kim Holistic Foot & Ankle Center. This innovative therapy involves the injection of ozone, a naturally occurring gas made up of three oxygen molecules, into the affected area. Ozone Injection Therapy has been shown to have numerous benefits for patients suffering from a range of foot and ankle conditions.
The injected ozone helps to stimulate the body’s healing response by increasing blood flow, immune system function, and cellular metabolism. This leads to a reduction in pain and inflammation, as well as a faster healing process. Ozone also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it an effective treatment for infections.The Origins of Ozone Therapy
The history of ozone therapy dates back to the early 20th century when ozone was first utilized as a disinfectant in surgery and wound healing. In the 1930s, German physician Dr. Otto Warburg began exploring the potential of ozone as a treatment for various diseases, including cancer, and his work paved the way for further research into the therapeutic use of ozone.
Dr. Frank Shallenberger is another major contributor to the field of prolozone therapy. Dr. Shallenberger’s tireless dedication to researching and refining the prolozone technique has led to widespread recognition and adoption among medical practitioners around the world. He has authored numerous articles and scientific papers on the topic, and teaches seminars and workshops to physicians interested in implementing prolozone therapy in their practices. Still today, Dr. Shallenberger maintains a private practice in Nevada, where he continues to help patients find relief from chronic pain and injury through this safe and effective therapy. His invaluable contributions to the field of prolozone have revolutionized the way doctors approach pain management, and continue to impact the lives of countless individuals suffering from chronic pain conditions.
Due to the contributions of these medical pioneers, ozone therapy is now used in various medical fields, including dentistry, dermatology, and podiatry. In podiatry, ozone therapy can be used to treat a range of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot ulcers, and fungal infections.
