A minimally invasive alternative for lasting back pain relief
Ozone therapy is an innovative, minimally invasive treatment that uses medical-grade ozone (O₃) to reduce inflammation and promote healing in herniated discs. This outpatient procedure can provide significant pain relief without the need for major surgery by targeting the root cause of disc-related pain.
You'll lie comfortably on an exam table. The skin over your spine is cleaned and numbed with local anesthesia. Imaging guidance (fluoroscopy or CT) is used to precisely locate the affected disc.
Note: No food restrictions before the procedure, but we recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arranging for someone to drive you home.
Using a thin needle under imaging guidance, a precise mixture of medical ozone and oxygen is injected directly into or around the herniated disc. The entire process typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Most patients feel only mild pressure during the injection.
Precisely calibrated for optimal therapeutic effect.
After brief monitoring, most patients can go home the same day. You'll need someone to drive you. Mild soreness at the injection site is normal for 1-2 days.
No incisions or general anesthesia required
Most resume normal activities within days
Many experience significant improvement in symptoms
May help some patients avoid more invasive procedures
Mild pain at injection site (1-2 days)
Very low with proper sterile technique
Effectiveness depends on individual factors
Severe herniations may require other treatments
Clinical studies suggest ozone therapy can be effective for disc herniation, with success rates ranging from 70-85% in appropriately selected patients. Many patients experience pain reduction within 2-4 weeks of treatment.
Note: While promising, ozone therapy isn't right for everyone. Our specialists can help determine if it's appropriate for your specific condition through a comprehensive evaluation.
