Spinal Ozone Therapy

Candidates for ozone therapy for the spine include individuals suffering from back pain caused by conditions such as disc herniation, osteoarthritis, or spinal inflammation. It can also be used for individuals with compression fractures of the vertebrae or similar conditions.

Prior to administering ozone therapy, patients typically undergo an examination and tests to assess the exact location of the pain and their overall health status. Physicians may recommend temporarily discontinuing certain medications or procedures that could affect the effectiveness of the therapy.

During ozone therapy for the spine, ozone is precisely injected into the affected spinal area under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy or other medical imaging to ensure accurate targeting and action of the therapy.

The results of ozone therapy typically include reduced pain, inflammation, and swelling, as well as the promotion of tissue regeneration in the spinal area. Patients may notice a reduction in symptoms and improved back functionality after the therapy.

After the treatment, it is important to follow the physician's instructions regarding recovery and possible side effects, such as local irritation, infection, or allergic reactions. Regular check-ups and monitoring are also important to ensure that the therapy yields the desired results and minimizes the risks of complications.
