Ozone Therapy

Indication of oxygen ozone therapy in the back pain of the sportsman with spongy edema type modic 1

Luca Morelli — 2020-10-14

Sport has contradictory effects on the lumbar spine, because while on the one hand it guarantees a strengthening of the “Muscular Core” of the trunk and increases its stability and elasticity, on the other hand it subjects the body to repeated stress and micro-trauma that would not occur in normal life and if prolonged over time cause damage to the structures, rather than a benefit. There are some conditions predisposing to lumbago in sportsmen and women that lead to the onset of the pathology determined mainly by functional overload of the spine. The rapid biomechanical movement produces a displacement of the pulpy nucleus which, if it fails to reposition itself, frequently causes micro lesions of the annulus with consequent degeneration of the disc in the medium term. In our study, only 20% of our athletes with back pain were found to have an anatomical cause, such as a herniated disc or vertebral stenosis, predominantly a discopathy related to Modic 1 type spongy edema. There is in fact a very strong correlation between the Modic type 1 sign, which is an indication of spongy tissue edema associated with trabecular fracture and back pain. One of the hypothetical causes of Modic type 1 bone edema has been attributed to the infection of bacteria such as: Proprionibacterium acnes, Corynebacterium propinquum and Staphylococcus, demonstrating the effectiveness of Modic Antibiotic Spinal Therapy (MAST) on the symptom of pain in patients with chronic lumbago.

Oxygen-ozone immunoceutical therapy in COVID-19 outbreak: facts and figures

Giovanni Ricevuti — 2020-04-10

The problems related to the approach to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the world require that all possible effective treatment options be explored. The clinical criterion of the researcher is not to refuse a priori, but to verify and evaluate the proposals that are made. Italian Society of Oxygen Ozone Therapy (SIOOT) proposed to the Italian ISS (Italian Institute of Health) to use oxygen ozone therapy (O2O3) in patients with COVID-19. (...)

Use of oxygen-ozone therapy in the treatment of panniculopathy edematous fibro sclerotic: a clinical case

Roberta Pisani — 2020-10-14

Oxygen-ozone therapy represents an effective therapeutic reality for panniculopathy, particularly in the edematous phase, as well as for the treatment of localized adiposity. Our case report is a 38 years-old patient with Edematous Fibrosclerotic Panniculopathy (EFP) diagnosed through physical examination. We compared the anthropometric measurements at the beginning of the treatment and after 18 sessions of oxygen-ozone therapy and it was seen that despite the study was conducted only on one patient, comparing our clinical case with the clinical cases of studies whose number was significant, we can say that EFP therapy with oxygen ozone produces satisfactory results both from a subjective point of view and from an objective point of view.
