Ozone Discectomy : A Minimally Invasive Alternative to Spine Surgery
Ozone Discectomy : A Minimally Invasive Alternative to Spine Surgery
Back and leg pain due to disc disease is one of the leading causes of disability in India.
At Delhi Pain Management Centre, we offer a revolutionary solution — Ozone Discectomy, a minimally invasive procedure used as an effective alternative to traditional spine surgeries for patients suffering from pain caused by herniated or prolapsed lumbar or cervical discs.
Over 2,000+ patients have been successfully treated at our centre with a success rate of up to 70%, and minimal or no complications.
What Is Ozone Discectomy?
Ozone Discectomy involves injecting medical ozone gas into the affected disc under local anesthesia. It reduces the size of the disc herniation and relieves pressure on the nearby nerves — helping alleviate back, leg, arm, or shoulder pain.
✅ No cuts
✅ No stitches
✅ No general anesthesia
✅ No hospital admission — Daycare procedure
✅ Quick recovery, same-day discharge
How Does Ozone Work?
Ozone, when injected into the nucleus pulposus (inner disc space), stimulates the release of antioxidant enzymes that neutralize harmful substances and reduce inflammation.
It also shrinks the herniated disc by dehydrating proteoglycans (disc’s structural molecules), effectively reducing pressure on the nerve roots.
Why Choose Ozone Discectomy?
Minimally invasive : No incision or blood loss
Safe and effective : Globally accepted and widely practiced in Europe
Shorter recovery : Resume daily activities within days
Outpatient procedure : Walk in, walk out same day
No hospital stay : Done under local anesthesia
