If you have been diagnosed with a herniated disc, and conservative treatment methods – such as over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription pain relivers, steroid injections into the back, therapeutic massage, or chiropractic treatment – have been ineffective in relieving your pain, you may think that back surgery is your only option.
The good news is that there is a safer and just as effective alternative treatment to herniated disc surgery: ozone herniated disc injection treatment.
After all, back surgery comes with certain risks, such as the possibility of infection, nerve damage, and the chance that the surgery won’t relieve your symptoms. Even if your condition improves with surgery, there is a chance that you may experience new symptoms in the future.
In many patients who have surgery to repair a herniated disc, the problematic disc may rupture again, causing symptoms to recur. Let’s talk about how ozone injection treatment works to relieve the pain caused by a herniated disc, and where you can go in Caldwell for an efficient medical assessment and back pain treatment that finally works.
Nonsurgical Herniated Disc Treatment
If you have a painful disc herniation or bulging disc, and you don’t want to have surgery or your prior back surgery has failed, consider a nonsurgical ozone disc injection treatment. Patients come to New Jersey from all over North America and Canada for this particular treatment, because it is proven to be as effective as surgery but with none of the surgery-related risks and complications.
The ozone injection treatment is a same-day outpatient procedure with no downtime, meaning you can resume your normal activities as soon as the procedure is completed.
Oxygen-ozone therapy is a mixture of ozone (O3) and oxygen (O2) that boosts the levels of oxygen in your body. Ozone disc injections work to relieve pressure on your spinal nerve by shrinking just the herniated portion of the disc, without reducing the disc height or altering the disc’s normal anatomy.
This is a major difference to surgery, which decreases the height of the disc and always alters the disc’s anatomy. Sometimes it involves complete removal of the disc. This alteration in your spine and disc anatomy can lead to future problems, such as accelerated disc degeneration and arthritis in your back.
Unlike surgery, ozone improves the long-term health of a herniated disc by:
- Creating a minor controlled oxidative stress so that your body responds with powerful, beneficial antioxidants
- Facilitating the formation of new proteins that boost your immune system
- Encouraging the development of new red blood cells and blood vessels (vascularization)
- Activating healthy cell division
- Fighting inflammation
- Stimulating your natural regenerative processes
Ozone injection therapy as a herniated disc treatment has been available in Europe for decades as a standard treatment for herniated discs – with consistent success. Numerous clinical studies have proven that its effectiveness is sustainable and long-lasting.
Not only does oxygen ozone therapy remedy the existing cause of back pain, but it also encourages better disc health due to its ability to activate cells to build stronger disc tissue. This makes it a treatment that is superior – and a whole lot safer – than invasive spine surgery.
