Restoring Health with Ozone Therapy

Ozone therapy may sound like a modern practice, but it has been around for generations and there have been hundreds of medical ozone studies over the years. Here at Hanging Rock Animal Hospital, we create ozone using an ozone generator. As a highly reactive molecule, ozone only exists in the environment for a short time. Yet this short-lived molecule plays an important role in your pet’s healing: It helps balance cells to more efficiently take and utilize oxygen. Why is oxygen so important? All chronic pain and diseases are caused by a lack of oxygen at the cellular level. The more serious the disease, the lower the level of oxygen in the body.

Ozone therapy has little to no side effects and can be used in conjunction with almost any other therapy or treatment.
