Ozone nucleolysis, also known as ozone disc therapy or ozone discectomy, is a minimally invasive medical procedure designed to address certain spinal conditions, particularly those related to disc issues. During the procedure, ozone gas, a reactive form of oxygen, is injected into the intervertebral disc. This treatment is often considered for conditions such as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and disc bulges. This minimally invasive procedure involves the precise injection of ozone gas into the intervertebral disc. The goal of ozone nucleolysis is to alleviate pain and inflammation linked to various disc-related issues, including disc bulges. Ozone is believed to possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, contributing to its potential effectiveness in providing relief for individuals experiencing spinal conditions.
A disc bulge occurs when the outer layer of an intervertebral disc extends beyond its normal boundary. This can result in localized or radiating pain, and in some cases, nearby nerve compression leads to symptoms like numbness or tingling. Ozone nucleolysis is considered a potential treatment for disc bulges, aiming to reduce pain and inflammation associated with this condition.
