Background: The study aims to investigate the treatment of thoracolumbar herniated intervertebral discs (IVD) in dogs using Oxygen-Ozone (O2-O3) intradiscal injection and assess the results using MRI which achieve more accurate details and procedures.
Results: All indices were improved after the treatment, while, three were statistically significant at P<0.5. All 3 dogs returned to their normal life after this study.
Conclusions: Intradiscal O2-O3 injection reduces the size of the herniated disc via disc shrinkage and decreasing the pressure of herniated part on the spinal cord.
