Abstract

In recent years several studies have demonstrated the utility of oxygen-ozone therapy in the treatment of herniated discs with the result of herniated discs reduced in size. In this study the Authors evaluate the therapeutic results obtained in the treatment of 168 patients suffering from non-discogenic low back pain caused by pathology of the posterior vertebral compartment afflicted by spondylolisthesis secondary to spondidolysis. The patients recruited into the study were evaluated in the short, medium and long term (one week, three months and six months) and were clinically assessed using a modified version of McNab’s method.
