General Ozone Therapy FAQs
1. What is ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy is an integrative medical treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃), a highly energized form of oxygen, to support the body’s natural healing processes. Ozone therapy may help improve oxygen utilization, support immune function, and promote cellular repair.
2. How does ozone therapy work in the body?
Ozone therapy works by increasing oxygen efficiency at the cellular level, improving circulation, and supporting the body’s natural detoxification and immune responses. This process may help reduce oxidative stress and enhance overall wellness.
3. What are the benefits of ozone therapy?
Common benefits of ozone therapy may include:
- Increased energy and reduced fatigue
- Immune system support
- Reduced inflammation
- Enhanced recovery and performance
- Improved circulation and oxygen delivery
4. What types of ozone therapy are offered at ECore Wellness?

- Major Autohemotherapy (MAH)
- Ozone IV therapy
- Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation (eBOO)

Prolozone therapy is a regenerative injection treatment that combines ozone with nutrients to support joint healing, reduce pain, and improve mobility in conditions such as knee pain, shoulder injuries, and chronic joint instability.
5. Is ozone therapy safe?
Ozone therapy is considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals using proper medical-grade equipment and protocols. At ECore Wellness, our medical team follows clinical best practices and adheres to the guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Ozonotherapy.

7. How long does an ozone therapy session take?
Most ozone therapy sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes. Advanced therapies like eBOO may take longer depending on your personalized treatment plan.
8. How many ozone therapy sessions do I need?
The number of sessions varies based on your health goals, condition, and response to treatment. Some patients experience benefits within a few sessions, while others follow a customized wellness protocol for optimal results.
9. Are there side effects of ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy is generally well-tolerated. Some patients may experience mild fatigue or temporary detox-like symptoms as the body adjusts. These effects are typically short-lived and part of the body’s natural response.
10. Who is a good candidate for ozone therapy?
Ozone therapy may be ideal for individuals looking to improve energy, support immune health, enhance recovery, or address chronic inflammation. A consultation at ECore Wellness helps determine if ozone therapy is right for you.
Ozone Therapy for Lyme Disease & Chronic Illness
11. Can ozone therapy help with Lyme disease?
Ozone therapy is commonly used in integrative protocols for Lyme disease and chronic infections. It may support immune function, improve oxygen delivery, and help create an environment that is less supportive of certain pathogens.
12. What is the best ozone therapy for Lyme disease?
Treatments such as MAH and eBOO are often used in Lyme support protocols because they circulate ozone-treated blood throughout the body. These therapies are typically combined with IV nutrients, peptides, and detox support for comprehensive care.
Ozone Therapy for Athletes & Performance
13. How does ozone therapy improve athletic performance?
Ozone therapy may enhance athletic performance by improving oxygen utilization, increasing endurance, reducing inflammation, and accelerating recovery after intense training.
14. Can ozone therapy help with injury recovery?
Yes, ozone therapy may support faster recovery from injuries by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting tissue repair. Prolozone therapy is especially beneficial for joint and ligament injuries.
Ozone Therapy for Cancer Support (Integrative Care)
15. Can ozone therapy treat cancer?
Ozone therapy is not a treatment or cure for cancer. However, it may be used as a complementary therapy in integrative oncology to support immune function, energy levels, and overall well-being.
16. Is ozone therapy safe during cancer treatment?
In some cases, ozone therapy may be used alongside conventional cancer treatments to support quality of life. All care should be coordinated with your oncology team to ensure safety and appropriate integration.
