ozone exposure triggers structural regression and dehydration in spinal disk tissue
Histologic examination of disk specimens from patients who received intradiscal ozone injections showed dehydration of the fibrillary matrix of the nucleus pulposus, collagen fiber exposure, vacuole formation, fragmentation, and disk 'mummification'.
What this means for you
Spinal disks that bulge or press on nerves often do so because of excess fluid and swollen tissue. Research shows ozone exposure can cause that tissue to shrink and break down — a response that may help reduce the pressure and inflammation that contribute to back discomfort and nerve irritation.
