OXYGEN-OZONE THERAPY FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain related to the cervical area is very common, attributable to trauma, arthritis or hernias. The solution is not always easy. Although sporadic discomfort can be managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, oxygen-ozone therapy has proven to be particularly effective for the treatment of chronic pain.

What is Oxygen-Ozone therapy
Oxygen-ozone therapy is a medical treatment that uses medical ozone for anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic functions. Ozone is mixed with oxygen scientifically to be administered with different methods depending on the pain and the affected area, using techniques that can act locally or systemically. The combination of oxygen and ozone increases oxygenation of the tissues and triggers a short and controlled oxidative stress capable of stimulating the reaction of antioxidant enzymes.
Oxygen-ozone therapy for the treatment of neck pain
Neck pain includes disorders attributable to the spine, muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerve fibers with more or less important symptoms. In the treatment of neck pain, oxygen-ozone therapy has proven to be particularly useful for its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, able to regulate phlogistic mediators such as prostaglandins and bradykinins, simultaneously stimulating the action of antioxidant enzymes. Ozone therapy works locally, extinguishing inflammation and oxygenating the treated area.
Methods of administration of oxygen-ozone therapy for neck pain
Oxygen-ozone therapy used in the treatment of neck pain is performed by injecting medical ozone mixed with oxygen into the inflamed area. The administration methods include a local injection via paravertebral, paradiscal or intraforaminal route performed using a very thin needle that can reach the area without causing pain. In case of intradiscal administration, which is more annoying, local anesthesia is administered to make the treatment completely painless.
Oxygen-ozone therapy: does it work in the treatment of neck pain?
The effectiveness of oxygen-ozone therapy in the treatment of neck pain is widely documented. For it to be effective, however, it is necessary to intervene adequately with a therapy suited to the patient's condition. Generally, pain begins to decrease after the first few weeks of treatment, after which the frequency of sessions can be reduced. However, the calendar of therapy must be evaluated based on various factors, including the type of administration chosen.
Costs of oxygen-ozone therapy
Oxygen-ozone therapy is a medical treatment that must be performed in a variable number of sessions to be effective. Based on the patient's initial condition, the type of pain and the chosen administration method, the doctor will be able to draw up the most suitable therapeutic path and an idea of the total cost of the therapy. For neck pain, the sessions are generally about 10-15 sessions with a unit cost that varies between 70 and 90 euros.
Oxygen-ozone therapy or neural therapy in the treatment of neck pain
For the treatment of chronic or acute pain in the cervical area, there are different therapeutic possibilities. Pain therapy, in all its forms, aims precisely at minimizing localized pain. Among the possibilities offered, we find oxygen-ozone therapy and neural therapy, often combined due to their common denominator in terms of analgesia. In reality, the two therapies act differently, the first exploiting the pain-relieving potential of ozone, the second by judiciously diluting anesthetic substances - mostly procaine or lidocaine - to prepare the autonomic nervous system for cellular regeneration. Pain therapy offers different solutions, which include oxygen-ozone therapy and neural therapy, although they act with different principles.

OXYGEN-OZONE THERAPY FOR BACK PAIN
Back pain, especially related to the lumbar area, is one of the most common disorders, often - but not always - caused by pathologies affecting the spine. Oxygen-ozone therapy has proven to be very useful in the treatment of lumbago and back pain, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving ability.
