ABSTRACT
The authors describe the case of a patient with C5-C6 cervical disc herniation completely resolved with infiltrative treatment with oxygen-ozone according to the “CT guided deep paravertebral technique”, with MRI control at five months. In this study, we found that oxygen-ozone therapy can be a possible first therapeutic approach for patients with C5-C6 cervical disc hernia, as it can act both symptoms.
