CAN OXYGEN/OZONE REALLY TAKE AWAY BACK PAIN?

Researchers Say it is Just a Matter of Time

Many good people suffer terrible back pain after a car accident or workers comp claim. In fact, back pain is the most common cause of job-related disability and a leading contributor to missed work. Often times, a car accident or workers comp claim can result in a herniated or protruding disc. This disc herniation or disc protrusion can affect every aspect of a person's life. Some doctors think they have found a way to relieve the pain of herniated discs--oxygen/ozone.

Researchers believe that a minimally invasive interventional radiology treatment using oxygen/ozone to relieve the pain of herniated disks will become standard in the United States in the next few years.

The plan is to inject a gas mixture of oxygen and ozone into a herniated disk which in turn can limit pain and inflammation by reducing the disk's volume. Apparently, the ozone shrinks disk volume resulting in pain relief. Click here to read more about this study on how oxygen/ozone treatment can help back pain.
