Conclusion

Intraforaminal and intradiscal injection of steroids, anaesthetics and O2-O3 is most effective than the injection of only steroids and anaesthetics in the same sites.

O2-O3 chemodiscolysis is an useful toll for treatment of pain and sciatica caused by acute lumbar disc herniation.

The procedure is fast, easy to perform and safe for the patient.
