In addition to the risks associated with herniated disc surgery the rates of clinical success are not usually this high. Water is normally held in place by weak chemical bonds within the herniated material. Unlike enzyme injections that were used in the past, ozone therapy does not effect any of the surrounding tissues such as the nerves, outer portion of the disc or vertebra. The lack of reactivity between ozone and the neighboring structures accounts for much of ozone therapies remarkable safety record when used to treat herniated discs.
Ozone therapy consists of a series of injections with oxygen and ozone.
It is somewhat like acupuncture. The injections are not into the disc itself but instead into the surrounding muscles. The Safety of this treatment is also due to the fact that injections are only into the back muscles. If you would like to book a longer period of 20 to 30 min you can call the clinic Mon to Fri and arrange a time.
