Joint pain is one of the most common reasons people seek care—especially here in Naples, where many adults want to stay active, golf, pickleball, walk the beach, or simply move without pain. Harmony Health Clinic is excited to offer large joint ozone injections as a non-surgical, regenerative option for chronic joint pain and inflammation.

What Are Large Joint Ozone Injections?
Ozone injections involve introducing a precise mixture of medical-grade ozone (O₃) and oxygen directly into a joint space. Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen that has been used internationally for decades in musculoskeletal and regenerative medicine. Rather than masking pain, ozone works by encouraging the body’s own healing mechanisms. When injected into a joint, ozone acts as a biological signal, prompting the body to:
Improve local oxygen utilization
Modulate chronic inflammation
Stimulate circulation and tissue repair
Support cartilage and connective tissue health
Which Joints Can Be Treated?
At Harmony Health Clinic, we offer ozone injections for large joints, including:
Knees
Shoulders
Hips
These joints are especially prone to degenerative changes, arthritis, old injuries, and overuse - making them excellent candidates for ozone therapy.
What Conditions Can Ozone Joint Injections Help?
Many patients pursue ozone therapy when they want to avoid steroids, frequent NSAID use, or surgery. While results vary by individual, patients often seek ozone injections for:
Osteoarthritis
Chronic joint inflammation
Degenerative joint disease
Old sports or overuse injuries
Reduced range of motion
Joint pain that hasn’t responded well to injections or medications
How Is Ozone Different From Cortisone or PRP Injections?
This is one of the most common questions we hear.
Ozone vs. Cortisone
Cortisone suppresses inflammation temporarily
Repeated steroid injections may weaken cartilage over time
Ozone aims to regulate inflammation and improve tissue health
Ozone vs. PRP
PRP relies on your blood quality and platelet function
Ozone does not require blood draws
Ozone treatments are typically more affordable and repeatable
Ozone therapy occupies a unique space: regenerative support without pharmaceuticals or biologics.
Does the Injection Hurt?
Because ozone stimulates an inflammatory healing response, mild post-injection discomfort is expected and often a sign the therapy is doing its job. Most patients tolerate ozone injections very well. What you may feel:
Brief pressure or fullness in the joint
Mild aching or tightness afterward
Temporary soreness for 24–72 hours
How Many Ozone Injections Do I Need?
This is critical and often misunderstood.
While some patients feel improvement after one injection, ozone therapy works best in a series. Chronic joint issues rarely develop overnight, and meaningful healing takes time. Most treatment plans involve multiple rounds spaced over several weeks, tailored to the joint, severity, and patient goals. At Harmony Health Clinic, we offer multi-session ozone packages because:
Ozone effects are cumulative
Repeated exposure reinforces tissue signaling
Results are more durable with consistent care
Packages improve long-term outcomes, not just short-term relief
How Soon Will I Notice Results?
Ozone therapy is not a “quick fix.” It’s a biological process, and improvements often build gradually. Response timelines vary, but many patients report:
Early changes within 1–2 weeks
Continued improvement after subsequent injections
Better mobility and less stiffness over time
Is Ozone Therapy Safe?
When administered properly by trained clinicians, ozone therapy has a strong safety profile. Side effects are typically limited to temporary soreness or swelling at the injection site. To ensure safety at our clinic:
We use medical-grade ozone equipment
Dosing is carefully controlled
Injections are performed using sterile technique
Patients are screened thoroughly before treatment

Have chronic joint pain or stiffness
Want non-surgical options
Prefer holistic or regenerative approaches
Have not responded well to conventional care
Want to remain active as you age
Can Ozone Be Combined With Other Treatments?

Chiropractic care
Functional medicine support
Nutrition strategies
Supplements support
Rehab & strengthening exercises
