- Discolysis
-
Discolysis is an ambulatory procedure by which an herniated disc is treated by injecting an O2-O3 (ozone) solution in the intervertebral disk. The procedure requires fluoroscopic guidance of the needles and local anesthesia.
The effect of the ozone is to accelerate the dehydration of the degenerated nucleus pulposus.
