Non-Surgical Alternative for Back Pain

Ozone Therapy (Ozonucleolysis) for herniated disc is a revolutionary non-surgical alternative for treating disc herniation.

In this therapy a highly beneficial molecule, Ozone (O3), is injected inside the diseased intervertebral disk in trouble. The injection is administered under local anesthesia supplemented with intravenous sedation under real time digital radiological control that ensures proper placement of Ozone in the center of the diseased disc.

Ozone reduces the production of pain-causing substances that are produced by a diseased or injured disc. It sets off production of antioxidant enzyme system that works on injured tissues that have been subject to long standing oxygen injury, releasing chemicals that oppose inflammation and indirectly relieve pain.

The treatment is painless and takes about 10 minutes. The patient is required to rest from 30 to 60 minutes afterwards.

Clinical studies have shown Ozone therapy to be effective in significantly reducing or eliminating symptoms in 70% of patients, who may then avoid the serious (and frequently ineffective) risks of surgical treatment.
