Ozone Therapy
Activated oxygen — stimulating your body's defense and repair.
What Is Ozone (MAHI)?
Medical-grade ozone (O₃) is gently infused into a small amount of your blood, then returned to your body. This controlled oxidative stimulus acts as a powerful biological signal, encouraging your body to respond, adapt, and strengthen.
How It Works
When ozone contacts blood, it creates a controlled oxidative stimulus that activates your body's intelligent defense and healing systems — stimulating immune function, balancing inflammation, enhancing oxygen delivery to tissues, promoting cellular repair, and increasing antioxidant activity.
Conditions Treated
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Low back pain
- General musculoskeletal conditions
Important Safety Note
Ozone gas is a powerful oxidizing agent with verified positive physiologic effects when applied appropriately. Ozone gas should never be inhaled at any concentration.
Biological Effects of Ozone Therapy
Immune Modulation
Activates the innate immune system, enhancing the body's ability to fight infection and regulate inflammation.
Enhanced Oxygen Delivery
Improves oxygen metabolism at the cellular level, increasing tissue oxygenation and energy production.
Anti-Inflammatory
Shifts inflammatory signaling toward resolution, reducing chronic inflammation pathways.
Antioxidant Upregulation
Triggers Nrf2 pathways — your body's master antioxidant switch — increasing glutathione and superoxide dismutase.
Cellular Repair
Stimulates growth factor release and stem cell activity for tissue repair and regeneration.
Blood Flow Enhancement
Improves red blood cell flexibility and oxygen-carrying capacity, enhancing microcirculation.
The MAHI Process
Major Autologous Hematogenous Infusion
A small amount of your blood is drawn (100–200 mL) into a sterile, closed system.
Medical-grade ozone (O₃) is gently infused into the blood at a precise, calibrated concentration.
The ozone-activated blood creates beneficial signaling molecules (lipid ozone peroxides, hydrogen peroxide).
The enriched blood is returned to your body, where these signals activate your immune and repair systems.
