Chronic joint pain from arthritis can feel like an unwelcome, lifelong companion. The persistent ache, stiffness, and swelling can gradually erode your quality of life, making simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, or even opening a jar a daily challenge. For millions, the journey of managing arthritis involves a cycle of painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and the looming possibility of invasive surgery. But what if there was a way to go beyond merely masking the pain? What if you could address the underlying inflammation and oxidative stress that fuel the condition?
At Arka Anugraha Hospital in JP Nagar, Bengaluru, we are at the forefront of a paradigm shift in arthritis care. As a pioneering institution combining minimally invasive procedures with holistic integrative and functional medicine, we offer innovative treatments that work with your body’s innate healing intelligence. 1 One of the most promising therapies in our arsenal for combating joint pain is Medical Ozone Therapy – a safe, non-surgical treatment that is providing remarkable relief for patients with both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. 2
This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about ozone therapy for joint pain, from how it works to what you can expect during your treatment at Arka Health.
Arthritis isn’t a single disease; it’s a term that covers over 100 conditions affecting the joints. At Arka Health, we primarily see two common forms:
While their origins differ, both OA and RA share a common destructive pathway: uncontrolled inflammation and oxidative stress. This is precisely where ozone therapy intervenes, not as a temporary fix, but as a powerful biological modulator that helps restore balance within the joint.
Medical ozone is not the same as the ozone in the atmosphere. It is a precisely prepared mixture of pure, medical-grade oxygen (O2) and a small, controlled concentration of ozone (O3). When this mixture is expertly injected directly into an arthritic joint, it triggers a cascade of powerful healing effects.
Here’s how it targets the root causes of arthritis pain:
Embarking on a new treatment can feel daunting, but at Arka Health, we prioritize patient comfort, education, and personalized care every step of the way. Our process is designed to be clear, collaborative, and focused on your unique health journey.
Your journey begins not with a procedure, but with a conversation. You will have a thorough consultation with our experts, including our founder, Dr. Gaurang Ramesh, an Integrative Gastroenterologist and Functional Medicine practitioner. At Arka, we believe that joint pain is often connected to systemic issues like gut health and chronic inflammation. Our functional medicine approach aims to uncover and address the root cause of your condition, not just the symptoms in your knee or shoulder.
This initial evaluation will include:
A discussion of your health goals to create a holistic and personalized treatment plan.
The primary method for treating arthritis with ozone is intra-articular injection, where the medical ozone gas is delivered directly into the joint space. 16 This is a simple and quick procedure performed in our clinic.
One of the major advantages of ozone joint therapy is the minimal downtime.
Patient safety is the cornerstone of our practice at Arka Anugraha Hospital. When performed by trained medical professionals according to established international protocols, ozone therapy has an outstanding safety record.
Choosing where to receive treatment is a significant decision. At Arka Health, we offer a unique, multi-faceted approach to healing that sets us apart.
If you are tired of living with the limitations of chronic arthritis and joint pain, it’s time to explore a therapy that does more than just manage symptoms. Ozone therapy offers a scientifically-backed, non-surgical path to reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and potentially slowing the progression of joint degeneration.
At Arka Anugraha Hospital, we are committed to empowering you on your health journey. By combining the regenerative power of ozone therapy with our deep expertise in integrative and functional medicine, we can help you reclaim your mobility and live a fuller, more active life.
