There are many clinics and doctors currently offering patients supposed medical treatment with ozone based therapy. A google search of "prolozone near me" revealed over 15 clinics within about 15 miles of me that currently advertise ozone therapy as a medical treatment...with clinics ranging from chiropractors to physicians to med spas to surgeons.
The Problem? There are no approved medical ozone devices or ozone therapies for ANY medical condition in the USA....so says the only regulatory authority....the FDA.
So, any clinic or doctor advertising ozone therapy or using an ozone device is likely using an adulterated and misbranded device and delivering an adulterated and misbranded drug. And as noted in this recent Federal lawsuit against a Richmond doctor.....patients are being harmed.
So, at this point, regardless of anyone's opinion on the medical benefits of ozone therapy.....we can't do it legally in the USA at the present time.
Without even basic safety data to satisfy the FDA regulators, a clinic or doctor cannot justify using an unapproved drug or unapproved medical device....and is subject to significant medical and legal liability in my opinion.
Stay safe!
