Ozonucleolysis : A safe and leasr invasive procedure for the treatment of sciatica

Opening of the article

Ozonucleoysis is amongst the latest innovations as a least invasive, interventional option for discogenic radiculopathy when sciatica or brachalgia from a prolaped disc does not respond to conservative treatment. Treatment employs the injection of a measured amount of ozone-oxygen mixture inside and around the proplapsed disc. Mechanism of action is the relief of symtoms from disc prolapse by decompression of the nerve root by a physical shrinkage of the prolapse by ozone. This is in neutralizing the algogenic(pain producing) events that occur with disc herniation; the case of a 70 years old,who underwent such treatment is decribed. UPDATE IN THERAPY
