Ozone disc therapy is a minimally invasive image guided treatment for herniated lumbar disc.  The procedure involves inserting a needle into the disc.  It is an outpatient procedure that does not involve surgery.  The procedure known as chemodiscolysis involves the injection of an oxygen-ozone mixure into the affected disc.  The gas interacts with the disc causing disc shrinkage, which can reduce disc herniation.  Ozone disc therapy is still considered experimental by the FDA.  Studies done so far have shown good results.  It is expected that ozone disc therapy will become the standard in a few years. 

Image Guided Spine Intervention and Pain Management

At Precision Imaging, Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, we use the most sophisticated and advanced technology for the diagnosis and treatment of your back pain.  We use CT and CT-fluoroscopic guidance (real-time CT) to guide us in the treatment of back pain and herniated disc.  CT allows for more precise needle placement which is an advantage over standard fluoroscopy (x-ray) guidance.
