A new study was conducted with more than 8,000 patients suffering with back pain. These patients were injected with a shot consisting of ozone and oxygen which relieves the pressure placed on nerves due to herniated discs. This shot reduces the disc volume through ozone oxidation.
Dr. Kieran J. Murphy is an interventional neuroradiologist who conducted the study. Of all the patients given the treatment, they were asked to rate their pain before the procedure on a scale of 1-10 and after receiving the shot. There was at least a 4 point improvement.
This is a much safer solution to those contemplating going under surgery to have the disc fixed which is a very risky procedure.
My mom has suffered with herniated discs for over 10 years and now she has a solution to the pain she has suffered. She never felt comfortable with doing surgery and she didn't enjoy going to the chiropractor, so this is the best solution for her and thousands of people suffering with back pain.
