Knee Ozone Therapy (Intra-Articular Ozone Injection) is a minimally invasive treatment where a mixture of medical ozone and oxygen is injected directly into the knee joint to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and improve mobility. For patients suffering from Osteoarthritis (“wear and tear”) or sports injuries, this treatment offers a
natural bridge between medication and surgery. At our clinic, Specialist Dr. Ömer Fatih Şahin performs these injections with the precision and comfort of a Pain Management Specialist.
Why Choose Ozone Over Cortisone?
Many patients are wary of steroid injections. Here is the difference:
● Cortisone: Effective for pain but can weaken cartilage and tendons if used frequently.
● Ozone: acts as a biological healer. It reduces inflammation naturally, improves oxygen supply to the joint, and has zero negative effects on your cartilage. It can be repeated safely as often as needed.
Who Can Benefit?
● Osteoarthritis: Patients with joint stiffness and pain.
● Meniscus Tears: To manage pain and promote healing in non-surgical cases.
● Athletes: For faster recovery from joint strain and inflammation.
● Seniors: Those who want to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
The Power Protocol: Ozone + PRP
For international patients seeking maximum results, we often recommend the “Regenerative Combo”:
1. Ozone therapy assists in regulating inflammatory processes and optimizing the joint environment for healing.
2. PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma): Delivers growth factors to stimulate tissue repair. Using them together creates a synergistic effect that is often superior to using either alone.
The Procedure: Pain-Free Expertise
Fear of needles in the knee is common, but unnecessary with the right doctor.
● Anesthesiologist Advantage: Dr. Şahin uses his expertise in pain management to ensure the injection is virtually painless.
● Time: The procedure takes only 5-10 minutes.
● Recovery: No downtime. You can walk out of the clinic immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
● Question: Will it fix my loss of fluid?
● Answer: Ozone treats inflammation and pain. If you have significant fluid loss (lubrication issues), we can combine Ozone with Hyaluronic Acid (Gel) injections in
the same session to restore both comfort and lubrication.
● Question: Is it painful?
● Answer: Most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. We use very fine needles and gentle techniques.
● Question: Can I walk afterwards?
● Answer: Yes. There is no recovery time. You can walk and continue your daily activities immediately.
● Question: How many sessions?
● Answer: We typically recommend a course of 3 to 5 sessions, depending on the severity of your pain.
