Ozone could help reduce pain?
Experimental treatment may help relieve back pain
“An experimental treatment that involves spinal injections of ozone gas and steroids relieved painin over two-thirds of 327 people with back problems related to a herniated disc.”
“Still, ozone therapy could even help many patients with unrelenting back pain to avoid surgery, Lehnert tells WebMD. Before the treatment, patients had tried everything without success and were considering an operation, he says.
