Pain that won't quit? Stop chasing it. Start repairing it.
Targeted ozone and homeopathic injections for chronic joint pain, sports injuries, and inflammation that won't respond to adjustments alone. Performed by Dr. Dustin Drussel during your regular visit at Integrative Motion in Orem.
Adjustments help, but only so far.
You've been showing up, doing the work. The adjustments calm things down. But the pain keeps creeping back, recovery takes longer than it used to, and that one stubborn area, your knee, your shoulder, your low back, just won't quite let go.
If your body's response to chiropractic care has plateaued, the issue is rarely the adjustment. It's the soft tissue and joint inflammation underneath. That's exactly the layer ozone and homeopathic injections target.
Same pain, every visit
You feel better leaving the office, then it's right back by day three.
Recovery is dragging
That sprain or tweak from weeks ago still isn't quite right. You've stopped pushing it.
Pills you don't want
NSAIDs work, but you can't keep taking them. Cortisone has its own downsides. You want something else.
Tired of waiting
Six weeks of "let's see how it responds" isn't a plan. You need traction now.
Two precise tools for two different jobs.
Both are quick, both attach to a regular chiropractic visit, and both target the source rather than masking the symptom. Dr. Drussel selects which one (or both) fits your situation during your visit.
Ozone Injection
Medical-grade ozone (O₃) injected directly into a painful joint, ligament, or trigger point. Ozone increases local oxygen utilization, reduces inflammation at the cellular level, and stimulates the body's own repair response. It's the heavier-hitting option for chronic and stubborn cases.
Patients pick this for:
- Chronic knee, shoulder, hip, or low-back pain
- Sports injuries that aren't fully healing
- Tendinitis (elbow, achilles, rotator cuff)
- Plateaued progress after weeks of adjustments
- Degenerative joints where surgery isn't yet on the table
- Persistent muscle trigger points that keep firing
What to expect: Quick injection at the painful area during your visit. Mild soreness or warmth at the site for 24 to 48 hours is normal. Most patients report meaningful change within 2 to 4 sessions, often paired with adjustments and soft-tissue work for compounding effect.
Homeopathic Injection
A precision injection of clinical homeopathic remedies (formulations like Traumeel and Zeel) delivered to the area of pain or injury. Used for soft-tissue injuries, post-workout recovery, and chronic pain when patients want a non-pharmaceutical option. The lighter-touch sister to ozone.
Patients pick this for:
- Acute soft-tissue injuries (strains, sprains, tweaks)
- Chronic muscle pain and inflammation
- Post-workout or post-event recovery
- Joint pain when over-the-counter meds aren't working
- Patients avoiding pharmaceutical or steroid options
- Pre-event prep for athletes (3 to 5 days out)
What to expect: Brief injection during your visit. Minimal to no downtime. Most patients add this to a regular adjustment for an extra layer of recovery support, especially after hard training or before a big event.
Chronic inflammation doesn't fix itself. It compounds.
Every week a painful joint stays inflamed, the surrounding tissue compensates, scar tissue lays down, and movement patterns get sloppier. By the time most patients book a "real" intervention, they're treating six months of compounding damage instead of the original injury.
Logan College of Chiropractic
An integrated practitioner, not a single-tool clinician.
Most chiropractors stop at adjustments. Most injection clinics don't understand the musculoskeletal system. Dr. Dustin Drussel sits at the rare intersection: a Doctor of Chiropractic with a Master's in Sports Rehabilitation, trained to read the whole picture, and equipped to treat each layer with the right tool.

- Practitioner-judgment approach: he tells you when an injection makes sense, not the other way around
- Same-day chair-side injection during your regular visit. No second appointment, no second copay
- Integrative care plan: adjustments + soft-tissue + injection working together for compounding effect
The pattern we see, again and again.
"I'd been getting adjustments for a torn rotator cuff for two months. Felt better, then back to square one every week. We added ozone to three visits in a row. Third week was the first time I slept through the night without shoulder pain in over a year."

"Knee pain on every run was killing my training. Cortisone wasn't an option, I'd already done two rounds. Tried ozone instead. Six weeks later I ran my first 10k pain-free in over a year. Wish I'd done it months earlier."

"I show up to every adjustment with one or two homeopathic injections after my Saturday rugby matches. Recovery time is night and day compared to last season. Less swelling, fewer dead-leg Mondays."

How injections stack up against the usual playbook.
Most patients pick this after they've tried adjustments alone, NSAIDs, or are weighing cortisone or referrals. Here's the honest comparison.
| Ozone & Homeopathic Injection | Cortisone Injection | Surgery / Referral Out | NSAIDs Long-Term | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Targets the cause | ✓ Stimulates tissue repair | ✕ Masks inflammation | ✓ Definitive but invasive | ✕ Suppresses symptoms |
| Healing tissue | ✓ Promotes regeneration | ✕ Can degrade tissue with repeat use | Mixed (depends on procedure) | ✕ Slows tissue healing |
| Time commitment | ✓ 5 min add-on to a visit | Separate appointment | Months to years | Daily, indefinitely |
| Out of pocket | $55 to $125 per session | Often covered, but limited per year | Thousands or more | Cheap upfront, costly long-term |
| Side-effect risk | ✓ Mild local soreness | Tissue weakening, blood-sugar spikes | Surgical risk, recovery time | GI, kidney, cardiovascular concerns |
