Lumbar Intradiscal Ozone

Relieve lower back pain effectively with lumbar intradiscal ozone therapy at CDL Rehabilitation.

What Lumbar Intradiscal Ozone Are

Lumbar intradiscal ozone therapy is a minimally invasive procedure where ozone gas is injected into the intervertebral disc of the lumbar spine to treat disc herniations, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

Treatment Description

This procedure uses ozone gas to reduce disc bulging, alleviate nerve compression, and enhance blood flow to promote tissue healing in the lumbar spine. It is often used for patients with chronic lower back pain and herniated discs.

What It Includes

The treatment involves injecting ozone gas directly into the affected intervertebral disc under fluoroscopic or CT guidance to ensure proper placement. Sessions typically last 20-30 minutes and may require a few follow-up treatments.

Disorders treated

What Are Lumbar Intradiscal Ozone Used For?

Lumbar intradiscal ozone is effective for treating conditions like lumbar herniated discs, lower back pain, disc degeneration, sciatica, and spinal stenosis caused by disc issues.

Lumbar Disc Herniation
Reduces pain and inflammation caused by herniated discs in the lumbar spine by promoting disc healing and reducing pressure on nerve roots.
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Provides relief from chronic lower back pain caused by disc degeneration or disc bulging by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.
Spinal Stenosis
Eases symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, such as leg pain, numbness, and weakness, by reducing inflammation and decompressing nerve roots.
Sciatica
Relieves sciatica symptoms caused by nerve compression from lumbar disc issues, providing pain relief and improving mobility.
Disc Degeneration
Reduces inflammation in degenerated discs, promoting healing and slowing further degeneration of lumbar discs.
Post-Surgical Pain
Helps manage persistent lower back pain after spine surgery by reducing inflammation and promoting healing of the affected tissues.
Facet Joint Pain
Alleviates pain caused by facet joint dysfunction in the lumbar spine by reducing inflammation and improving disc health.

Consequences of not treating disorders

Persistent Lower Back Pain
Without lumbar intradiscal ozone therapy, chronic lower back pain caused by disc issues may persist, reducing quality of life.
Progression of Disc Degeneration
Untreated intervertebral discs may deteriorate further, leading to worsening pain and potential nerve compression.
Reduced Mobility
Lack of treatment can result in stiffness and limited range of motion in the lower back, hindering daily activities.
Increased Dependence on Pain Medications
Failure to address pain effectively may lead to reliance on oral medications, increasing the risk of side effects and dependency.
Risk of Chronic Conditions
Without timely intervention, minor disc issues may progress to severe degeneration, potentially requiring invasive procedures such as surgery.
