Can Ozone Injection Relive The Pain For Lumbar Canal Stenosis?

I am suffering from severe lower back pain. My orthopaedic surgeon has diagonised the problem as lumbar canal stenosis in addition to a mild disc prolapse. Will ozone injection treatment provide relief from pain in may case. Will it be of short term effect or for a long duration.

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Ozone injection can help in relieving the pain.
The oxygen-ozone gas is injected directly into the affected disc to reduce the volume of the disc.
Reducing the volume of the disc will subsequently reduce the pressure on your nerves, which should relieve some of the pain from the disc.
I suggest to consult your orthopedist for further evaluation.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
