The best treatments & outcomes depend not only on technology, but the skill of the doctor.

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?
