At Biziondo we apply ozone to the spine with other treatments when necessary. Ozone infiltrations on the back and neck achieve great results without having to operate.
An infiltration, roughly speaking, is an injection. It consists of injecting certain medicine into joints, wounds, soft tissues or nerves so that the medicine acts directly in the areas that require it, thus reducing or eliminating localized pain. It is more effective than medications taken by mouth.
David Izquierdo, Manager of Biziondo, talks about the details of the ozone infiltrations
Paravertebral ozone therapy is performed in consultation. In a procedure in which ozone injections are applied accompanied by other medications in the area of the affected spine. The area is previously cleaned, an analgesic is placed in the area where the herniated discs are (back or neck) and the injection is applied slowly and for a long time to avoid discomfort to the patient.
In intradiscal ozone infiltrations, the injection of ozone / drugs is done directly into the damaged disc, in the nucleus pulposus, this is called Discolysis. Seeking to reduce the inflammation of the disc and in this way reduce the compression to the nerve roots, thus reducing pain.
This is performed in the operating room with local anesthesia, however it is still a minimally invasive intervention that does not require hospital admission, in which the patient can go home after a 2-hour recovery.
In both injections, the patient can return to his normal life the same day, although if he prefers he can lean on a lumbar girdle or resume his daily activities 24 hours later.
The duration of the effect of ozone infiltrations is highly variable. It mainly depends on the type of injury the patient has, if the infiltration has been done properly, the state of the herniated disc (if the herniated disc is very fibrous, it is more difficult for ozone to take effect).
Sometimes it is very difficult to talk about the effect that an ozone infiltration will have, there are patients who do not even feel improvements, others who feel improvements for short periods of time, and some more for those who with a couple of sessions of ozone infiltrations, solved his column problem.
Ideally we could talk about 1 session, the so-called "infiltration test". If in a first ozone infiltration, the patient's symptoms do not improve by 80%, there is no reason to carry out more sessions. It is not because ozone does not show benefits in patients in general, but rather that this particular patient has a more important lesion, for which a more appropriate spinal treatment should be sought.
