Intradiscal ozone injection is a non surgical treatment offered at IPSSC for patients with disc herniation. The ozone gas desiccates or ‘dries out’ the disc which can reduce the herniation without invasive surgery. Speak to one of our physician specialists to see if you are a candidate for this treatment.
