Intradiscal Ozone Therapy for Lower Back Pain
A Minimally Invasive Solution for Disc-Related Back Pain
Struggling with chronic lower back pain from a herniated or degenerative disc? At the office of Dr. Mikhail Artamonov (Dr. A) in East Stroudsburg, PA, we offer a cutting-edge, non-surgical treatment called intradiscal ozone therapy—a minimally invasive procedure that reduces disc inflammation, relieves pain, and helps restore your mobility naturally.
What Is Intradiscal Ozone Therapy?
Intradiscal ozone therapy is an advanced, image-guided procedure that involves injecting a carefully controlled mixture of ozone (O₃) and oxygen directly into the affected spinal disc.
How Intradiscal Ozone Therapy Works
Intradiscal ozone therapy works by:
- Reducing inflammation and swelling within the disc
- Shrinking herniated disc material, which relieves pressure on spinal nerves
- Stimulating tissue repair and improving oxygen delivery to damaged areas
How Intradiscal Ozone Therapy Helps
This therapy provides relief without the risks and downtime of surgery or long-term medication use.
Lower back pain often stems from disc herniation or degeneration that causes the inner disc material to bulge out and compress nearby nerves. Traditional treatments like physical therapy, pain injections, or even surgery don’t always provide lasting relief.
Intradiscal ozone therapy works differently by addressing the core problem—the inflamed and protruding disc—at the source.
Benefits Include:
- Reduced nerve compression and inflammation
- Improved spinal mobility
- Decreased reliance on pain medications
- Avoidance of spinal surgery
- Fast recovery with minimal downtime
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is performed in-office or at an outpatient surgical facility under local anesthesia and image guidance (such as fluoroscopy or CT).
The steps typically include:
Most sessions take about 30 to 45 minutes, and patients can usually return home the same day.
- Local anesthesia is applied to numb the treatment area.
- A fine needle is inserted into the affected disc using real-time imaging.
- A precise mix of medical-grade ozone and oxygen is gently injected into the disc space.
- The ozone reacts with disc proteins and inflammation, helping the disc shrink and heal.
