For maximum effectiveness of ozone injections, it is important for the body to be properly prepared before the procedure. Adequate hydration in the days leading up to treatment is recommended, as water supports good circulation and helps eliminate toxins. Diet should be light and balanced, based on vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in antioxidants, while heavy meals, excess fats, and alcohol should be avoided for at least 24 hours before the procedure. It is also advisable not to smoke prior to treatment and to follow any medical recommendations regarding current medications. Proper rest and stress reduction contribute to a better response of the body to therapy.
OZONE INJECTIONS
Ozone injection is a therapeutic procedure in which medical ozone is introduced into the patient's tissues or circulatory system to improve oxygenation and blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and treat certain conditions such as back pain, arthritis, and infections. These injections can be administered to various parts of the body, depending on the condition being treated and the therapeutic goals.
How does ozone infiltration work?
The ozone injection procedure involves the use of special syringes and fine needles to introduce medical ozone into the patient's tissues or blood. The gas dissolves quickly in the blood and has the ability to interact with cells and tissues in the body.
The procedure involves the controlled administration of an ozonated solution into the affected area, using a fine needle and a special syringe.
What are the conditions for which ozone injections are recommended?
These injections may be recommended for a variety of medical conditions and ailments. Here are some of them:
1. Musculoskeletal Disorders: Infiltrations can be used in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, herniated discs, tendonitis, bursitis, plantar fasciitis, and other conditions involving inflammation and pain in the joints, tendons, or ligaments.
2. Spinal Disorders: They can be beneficial for herniated discs, cervical, thoracic, or lumbar spondylosis, sciatica, and other spinal conditions that cause pain and discomfort.
3. Vascular Disorders: Injectable ozone can be used in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency, varicose ulcers, thrombophlebitis, and other vascular disorders to improve blood circulation and promote healing.
4. Dermatological conditions: They are recommended in the treatment of eczema, psoriasis, herpes, acne, skin lesions and other dermatological conditions, due to the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of ozone.
5. Infectious conditions: Injections can be used in the treatment of bacterial, viral and fungal infections, such as sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, chronic bronchitis, urinary tract infections and others.
What contraindications are there in the case of injectable ozone?
There are certain contraindications to the use of injectable ozone. It is important to have a proper medical evaluation and discuss it with your doctor before deciding to pursue this form of therapy. Here are some common contraindications:
▪️Hypersensitivity to ozone: People who are allergic or hypersensitive should not use this type of injection. Allergic reactions can range from mild, such as redness and local irritation, to severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock.
▪️Coagulation disorders: Patients with coagulation disorders, such as hemophilia or conditions that affect the blood's ability to clot, should avoid ozone injections. It can affect the clotting process and increase the risk of excessive bleeding.
▪️Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency: People with G6PD deficiency, an enzyme essential for the functioning of red blood cells, should not receive ozone injections. This deficiency can cause the destruction of red blood cells and can lead to hemolytic anemia.
▪️Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety and effectiveness of using injectable ozone during pregnancy and breastfeeding have not been fully established. Because there are potential risks to the developing fetus or the breastfed child, these procedures are not recommended in these situations.
▪️Advanced cancer: In the case of advanced cancer, especially in cases where there are metastases or generalized damage to the body, it is important to discuss with the oncologist for an individual assessment of the situation and therapeutic options.
Types of injections with ozone:
Intra-articular injections
Price: 1070 RON
Intraarticular injections have an anti-inflammatory effect, relieve pain, improve microcirculation and local metabolism. Medicinal gas administered to the painful area activates self-healing processes, stimulates microcirculation and better hydrates the bones.
At the lumbar periarticular level, ozone infiltrations can decrease the volume of the intervertebral disc and, thus, are an ideal therapy in case of disc herniation. The effects are seen over time, starting with the third session.
Intramuscular injections

Special Offer 3 Ozonotherapy - 10 intramuscular/ subcutaneous injections / rectal/vaginal insufflations/autohemo minora/ = 1610 RON
Ozone can be administered locally, through a simple and quick intramuscular injection. It has a repairing effect, reduces inflammation and local edema, has a relaxing effect, eliminates pain and helps in the recovery process.
It also improves local microcirculation and better oxygenates the tissues in the respective area. It is addressed to those who have acute, muscular and neuromuscular pain: torn muscle (with edema and inflammation), tendon and ligament diseases, muscle atrophy.
Subcutaneous injections
Price: 215 RON
Special Offer 1 Ozonotherapy - 5 intramuscular injections / subcutaneous injections = 855 RON
Special offer 2 Ozonotherapy - 5 autohemo major ozone sessions = 1610 RON
Special Offer 3 Ozonotherapy - 10 intramuscular/ subcutaneous injections / rectal/vaginal insufflations/autohemo minora/ = 1610 RON
It is performed with thinner needles and in lower concentrations. It is administered paravertebral, periarticular or in painful points, as well as in areas with poor peripheral circulation or even in cellulite.
These ozone infiltrations are recommended in rheumatological, dermatological conditions, in peripheral circulation problems or in aesthetic medicine. For visible and lasting effects, several sessions are needed, at an interval established by the therapist.
Are subcutaneous ozone injections also recommended for cancer patients?
Yes. This therapy consists of administering medications by injecting them into the subcutaneous tissue layer, that is, under the skin, where a small pocket of tissue is formed.
Patients diagnosed with cancer may require regular administration of medications to treat the disease or to manage the side effects of treatment, such as nausea, pain, or decreased blood cell counts. Subcutaneous injections offer an effective and easy way to administer these medications.
This procedure is relatively simple and can be performed in the comfort of one's own home under the supervision of a specialist or in a medical facility. Usually, the patient receives clear instructions on the correct administration of the injection and is monitored by medical personnel to ensure that the desired therapeutic effect is achieved.
What are the benefits of subcutaneous ozone injections among cancer patients?
These are multiple and include:
1. Ease of administration: Subcutaneous injections can be administered quickly and without the need for an invasive or painful approach. This may be a more pleasant option for patients who avoid or fear more complex procedures, such as intravenous injections.
2. Drug absorption: Drugs administered by subcutaneous injections are gradually absorbed into the bloodstream, providing a slow and steady release of active substances into the body. This can lead to increased treatment efficacy and reduced fluctuations in drug levels in the blood.
3. Dose flexibility: Subcutaneous injections allow dosage adjustments to be made according to the individual needs of patients. This offers a greater degree of treatment personalization and can help optimize the effectiveness of cancer therapy.
4. Comfort and independence: Oncology patients can benefit from subcutaneous injections at home, which gives them greater autonomy and convenience. This can help reduce the stress associated with frequent visits to the clinic and improve the quality of life of patients.
5. In conclusion, the subcutaneous injection service is a recommended procedure for oncology patients as well. It offers an efficient and easy way to administer the medications needed in the treatment and management of cancer, contributing to comfort and quality of life.
