DESCRIPTION
Sciatica or slipped disc is one of the most common medical problems affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point during their lives.
A slipped disc often causes severe back pain which radiates down in the leg causing pain, tingling and numbness in the legs and difficulty in walking due to pressure on the nerve root.
Ozone therapy is a medical gas treatment which helps to reduce pain and inflammation. It is a minimally invasive, non- surgical procedure used to treat patients with slipped discs. Ozone gas is injected into the disc, causing the disc to shrink. Thus it relieves the pressure over the nerves which helps to get rid of the patients' back pain.
About 90% of patients benefit after ozone injection. Once the result is achieved it is permanent.
