Ozone & Oxidative Therapies
Ozone is a form of oxygen that some practitioners use in investigational, non-approved therapies. Our clinic offers ozone and Live O2 treatments as part of a broader integrative plan, and your provider reviews what is and is not known before you decide.
An investigational oxygen-based therapy
Ozone is made of three oxygen atoms. The FDA has not approved ozone for any medical therapeutic use and regards it as a toxic gas, and research on oxidative therapies is limited and still developing. We explain these limits plainly so you can make an informed choice.
Treatment methods vary. Your provider will explain which approach may fit you and why, and will review the risks and unknowns with you. Treatments take place in the clinic, with our team nearby from start to finish.
Ozone is not a stand-alone answer. We usually pair it with nutrition, lab review and other care so the overall plan addresses underlying issues, not only symptoms.

Ozone therapy questions
Is ozone therapy FDA-approved?
No. The FDA has not approved ozone for any medical therapeutic use and regards it as a toxic gas. Research is still developing, and we explain what is known and what is not before you decide.
What is Live O2?
Live O2 is an oxygen-based treatment we offer within our oxidative therapy options. Like ozone, it is not FDA-approved to treat any condition, and your provider will describe how it works, what is known and the possible risks.
Does it hurt?
Most patients report little discomfort. Depending on the method, you may feel a brief pinch or simply sit comfortably during treatment.
Who should avoid ozone therapy?
People with certain conditions, such as some blood disorders, or who are pregnant, may not be candidates. We screen carefully before offering treatment.
