For most of the patients with herniated disk, the surgery is not quite a proper solution. But the pain associated with this medical condition is significant. Often, the daily activities are quite affected because of the severe pain.

Fortunately, a new medical therapy with promising results seems to be the future of the medical treatment for spinal disk herniation: ozone injections / infiltrations. The ozone therapy performed as herniated disc treatment began to expend in 1980s both in Europe and in Asia.

Nowadays, the medical research shows that 65% to 80% of the patients who benefit from ozone therapy obtain a significant pain relief and symptoms improvement.

In 2009, Dr. Kiran Murphy revealed to his team the results obtain by his patients during ozone therapy. The patients had similar results as the patients who made a discectomy. But the surgery risk rate and the post operatory recovery timing were reduced for the patients performing ozone therapy compared with those who had the surgery.

Another medical research conducted in 2014, studying the long term efficiency in ozone therapy, showed that ozone injections are extremely safe and the results of the therapy can last for about 10 years. The recommendation of the doctors who conducted the research is that all the patients should perform this type of therapy before taking in consideration a surgery.
