Ozone therapy: An effective alternative to surgery
Ozone therapy (otherwise known as oxygen-ozone therapy) is a non-surgical procedure that has been used in the treatment of bulging or herniated discs. It has risen in notoriety in Asia and Europe since being introduced in the 1980s, and North America shortly after. Research on ozone therapy indicates that approximately 95% of patients experienced a reduction in herniated disc symptoms once treatment was completed. Furthermore, patients encounter fewer complications with ozone therapy relative to other, more invasive treatments.
Researchers are performing more in-depth studies regarding the healing potential of ozone therapy. The outcomes are demonstrating that the application of ozone can offer similar—if not better—effects than mainstream therapies such as surgical discectomy, epidural or steroid injections.
Dr. Schlee offers a wide variety of Naturopathic remedies, including ozone therapy for sciatica and disc injuries.
How Ozone Therapy Works
Oxygen-ozone gas is delivered by injection near the herniated disc, into the facet joints. This paraspinal injection delivers the gas to the disc and surrounding tissues, oxygenating and creating a pressure against the disc volume. This decreases the extruding disc volume, thus alleviating impact on descending nerves, and in turn diminishing pain and discomfort..
Ozone Therapy Benefits
Aside from faster recovery times and a reduced complication rate relative to surgery, the benefits of ozone therapy injections include:
- Minimally invasive
- Outpatient procedure
- Quick to administer
- Affordable relative to other more expensive procedures
- No long term pain or discomfort
