Revolution in Pain Management

Recover Discover Healthcare has been at the forefront of the Medical Tourism industry since 2005. It is one of the few companies in this field that is incorporated in Canada as well as India. Recover Discover is a part of the Phistream group of companies that has interests in software, BPO, Legal Outsourcing, and Healthcare.

At Recover Discover, it has always been an endeavour to offer the latest treatments in the medical world to its international clients. After launching an affiliation with a world class cosmetic surgery facility in France, Recover Discover has affiliated with a Pain Management Facility in New Delhi, India, which offers Ozone Therapy - a non-surgical alternative for treating spinal problems.

Ozonucleolysis or Ozone Therapy for herniated disc is a revolutionary non-surgical alternative for treating disc herniation. In this therapy a highly beneficial molecule, Ozone (O3), is injected inside the intervertebral disk in trouble. The injection is administered under local anesthesia supplemented with intravenous sedation under real time digital radiological control that ensures proper placement of Ozone in the center of the diseased disc.

The treatment has benefited thousands of patients world over. In our experience, over 86% patients treated with Ozone therapy recovered from their pain coming from disc prolapse, also called slipped disc. From this procedure, a major open operation on the spine is avoided.

When used for disc prolapse, also called slipped disc, Ozone therapy acts in multiple ways:

* Direct effect

o Disc contains 80% water that is contained within its building blocks comprising of core protein (cartilage & collagen).
When injected in the disc, Ozone quickly dissolves in the disc water. This results in shrinkage of the disc prolapse with a net reduction disc pressure.

* Cell mediated anti-inflammatory response:

o Ozone reduces the production of pain causing substances that are produced by a diseased or injured disc.

o It sets off production of antioxidant enzyme system that works on injured tissues that have been subject to long standing oxygen injury.

o Release of chemicals that oppose inflammation and indirectly relieve pain.

* Local anesthetic effect:

o Injection of needle and subsequent injection of ozone stimulates release of chemicals like naturally occurring endorphin from ones body that relieves pain.

The treatment of back pain and specifically herniated disc by Ozone therapy has met with enthusiasm due of its non-invasive nature, lack of major complications and excellent results when compared to other methods. Ozone therapy has now made it possible for people suffering from herniated disc to safely escape the surgeon’s knife and get rid of that pain with the simple prick of a needle.

In the US back pain effects nearly 62 percent of the population with nearly 520000 back injuries being reported every year.

According to our Ozonucleolysis expert “ In case of surgery chances of recurrence of pain is nearly 15% against 3% in case of ozone treatment.”

The therapy, having gained acceptance the world over, has the potential to establish itself as the gold standard in pain management techniques.
