Ozone in PIVD/Slipped disc
In case of prolapsed inter-vertebral disc (or, slipped disc) different other mechanism acts. Inter-vertebral disc is filled with nucleus pulposus which is a jelly like material which holds water (90% of disc material is water). When ozone is injected into the disc the proteo-glycan bridges in the jelly-like material are broken down and they no longer capable of holding water. As a result disc shrinks and mummified which is equivalent to surgical discectomy and so the procedure is called ozone discectomy or ozonucleolysis. It has been published in ANESTHESIA AND PAIN journals that up to 85% of disc operation can be avoided with these non-surgical interventions. Success rate is about 88% which is comparable to surgical discectomy (50% to 90%). Complications are remarkably low and much less than surgery.
Ozone Therapy
Most Of the Interventional Pain Procedures are done in Local Anesthesia under Fluoroscopy Guidance in Procedure room as Day care (3 to 4 Hours stay).
Usually One to Two Procedures at an interval of 2-4 weeks are required but in Resistant cases additional procedure may be required.
Trial procedures are required in Advance Interventions before placing costly Implants
A young IT professional presented to my clinic yesterday, with complaints of acute onset backache for 1 week, which often goes down his Right leg, and some funny sensations over his sole of feet. He remembered having worked overtime to meet deadlines, often slumping in his office chair, and constantly focusing on his computer screen.
He did not really give me a history of having done some sort of weight lifting. But he confessed, that he could not follow any exercise regimen due to work pressure.
I asked for an X-ray, which showed signs of muscle spasm in his lower back. I ordered for an MRI of the lower back. His MRI showed bulge of the inter-vertebral disc at L4-L5 (between 4th and 5th Lumbar vertebra of the lower back). His symptoms were readily explained with the finding.
The question is why did it all happen?
Prolapse Inter-vertebral Disc Syndrome or Slipped Disc, as we commonly call it; is a very common disorder affecting young population. A little insight into the cause- Our spine has vertebra aligned on top of each other with a cushion like substance called Inter-vertebral disc in between the vertebrae. The spinal cord and nerves pass along the back of vertebral bodies, encased in a well formed bony column. If the disc crosses its normal circumference, it may produce pressure on the spinal cord or the nerves producing so called Sciatica.
Usually a patient gives history of sudden jerk, or lifting weights; but sometimes it may happen without an obvious precipitating factor. The usual contributing factor include- Poor muscle tone, Abnormal posture while sitting, or lifting objects. Cigarette smoking whether active or passive increases the propensity and severity of a disc prolapse.
Acute disc prolapse should initially be treated with a short period of rest, followed b Visit for click: https://ipscindia.com/ozone-therapy-for-back-pain/
