Hi Mark.
Saw the thread and did a quick search for the doctor but didn't like what I saw, he has been prosecuted before.

Joe, nice to see you here! How are you doing? Will you post an update on your recovery in the surgical outcomes area?

Take care,

Mark

Joe, sometimes "quick searches" are not the way to go . Dr Shallenberger has responded to accusations,

Years ago, the US Gov't went on a witch hunt and persecuted doctors using ozone. Dr Robert Atkins (Atkins Diet author) was treating HIV patients with ozone and the gov't cracked down on him for treating with ozone.

I can testify that my doctor was taught by Dr Shallenberger on ozone applications and at this time I can say that the two ozone sessions that I've had have helped me.

John, great point!

Most spine surgeons who have been practicing for many years have lawsuits against them. Developers and early adopters of new technologies are easy targets and attract more lawsuits than doctors who practice the old 'gold' standard. Sometimes the new technologies will not pan out and the gold standard is still better. Sometimes the gold standard is simply old-school.

Unless the numbers are way, way, way out of whack, seeing a few malpractice lawsuits against a doctor is the norm and should not cause alarm. If you experience alarm and really need what THAT particular doctor does, it behooves you to look a little deeper than just noting that there are lawsuits.

All the best,

Mark

Ozone and the other forms of nucleoplasy cost under $3000 whereas an ACDF can cost $100,000 when it is all said and done. That may be why they went after Shallenberger. Ozone discolysis could cost the spine industry billions.

Atkins was a quack.

Who was your doctor?

Shallenberger may be a quack but medical ozone is standard practice in Italy and health care in Italy is far better than in the US.

Ozone Discolysis basically refers to a medical treatment which is extremely novel in its nature. It was founded very recently and is practiced by specialized medical practitioners. When it is being practiced on someone who is suffering through this problem it needs to be done by someone who is experienced and has the skills to perform it.

This treatment is also considered to be a natural treatment by many. Doctors in Italy were the first ones to implement this kind of a treatment. Discolysis is a term that refers to the destruction of the disc between two vertebrae in the body. Such a disc is then called a herniated disc and the treatment needs to be performed on it to make it better. The best part about this surgery is that it can be treated within a day, that is, the person can go back home on the same day when the operation is performed.

Ozone is being used as a means to cure this herniated disc problem in patients. Ozone is made by one part of oxygen (O2 + O) which forms ozone (O3). This lasts for only a very short period of time, that is barely a few seconds. Thus, in this time period when this chemical lasts, it reacts with all kinds of substances present in the surroundings. This ozone is used to inject into the disc of the patient or around it, in order to treat the problem of herniation.

Ozone Discolysis helps to reduce the size of the disc or as the word suggests, discolysis, which literally means destruction of the disc. This process helps to take away all the pressure that is present in the nerves surrounding the disc.

There are many Italian doctors around the world who began their experiments with this treatment and have successfully cured a large number of patients all around the world. They have conducted several studies in order to prove the effectiveness and efficiency of Ozone Discolysis as well, and are still continuing with the studies and research in order to help to make the entire process better and less painful.

This entire process can also be used on the cervical discs that are herniated and the treatment has three stages in it. The first part includes the injection of ozone into the disc. The second part is the process of discolysis as mentioned above where the disc begins to reduce and get used to the ozone injected in. The third step is done in the days following, where more ozone is injected into the paravertebral muscles.

Ozone Discolysis, as a treatment, is extremely effective. More than 80% of patients have been cured with this treatment. The best thing about this treatment is that it does not cause any pain in the patient's body and even lets him/her go home the same day. Patients have felt much better and that too in a very short span of time, as opposed to the painful surgeries that do cure, but leave patients in the lurch for a long time.

Read more information and helpful tips on how Ozone Discolysis is nowadays one of the best cost effective ways for many medical treatments..
