Ozone Therapy

Ozone Therapy can be thought of as a safe and easy way of flooding your body with a highly charged form of Oxygen! The horses body requires oxygen for many different body processes including metabolism, immune system function, healing and maintenance of tissues etc. 

Ozone is a very broad-spectrum antimicrobial… it kills almost all bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa etc. This makes it either the therapy of choice or an ideal adjunct therapy for a wide range of illnesses.  

Since Ozone Therapy stimulates the immune system, helps the body eliminate toxins such as lactic acid, and provides the body with a generous amount of oxygen to help with healing and regeneration, it can also be used on healthy horses to help them stay that way so it is great for just performance enhancement as well as injury recovery/rehab! 

Since Ozone is such a broad spectrum antimicrobial, the list of diseases where Ozone Therapy would be useful is too long to list here.  Some common equine conditions where ozone would be greatly beneficial are:

Laminitis

Abscesses

Arthritis (Degenerative Joint Disease)

Joint Infections

Postpartum infections (broodmares)

Respiratory conditions (COPD)

Exercise Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (Bleeding)

Fungal issues of the hoof or the skin.

EPM 

Wounds

Numerous bacterial and viral infections, including MRSA and other antibiotic resistant infections.

General soreness and recovery from injury

Ozone IVs in conjunction with the Equiscope work incredible together which make these 2 a very powerful combo that I’m thankful to be able to provide to my clients!
