Doctor Kares Hospital was the first centre in India to perform Intradiscal Ozone Discectomy (Ozonucleolysis™), a safe, scientifically & clinically validated, and effective solution for patients suffering from back and limb pain. Developed in Germany, Ozone Discectomy is now employed as the treatment of choice for disc herniation by surgeons and physicians in over a dozen countries. We are proud to be amongst the global pioneers, as our founder Dr. Vijay Sheel Kumar has won numerous international awards to acknowledge his contribution to the field.

Procedures

The treatment injects a mixture of medical grade ozone and oxygen into the disc. This helps in reducing the pressure on the nerve, which in turn minimizes swelling and pain. It also has a direct analgesic effect as ozone reduces pain and inflammation. Ozone injections are an extremely safe form of treatment, and are largely free from procedure-related complications. Benefits of Ozonucleolysis are many: No cutting, scarring or general anesthesia; shorter recovery time; very short absence from work

The Kares Difference

The pain specialists at Doctor Kares Hospital who perform Ozonucleolysis have been personally trained by our founder, Dr. Vijay Sheel Kumar. All treatments are performed using a top of the line imported ozone generator with an active photometer that measures the ozone concentration in real time and has absolute precision. The procedures are done with image guidance from a high end digital fluoroscope, under complete sterile conditions in a state-of-the-art operating theatre.

Doc, really? A gas can cure my back pain?

Absolutely. There are many published international studies by orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, pain specialists and others who have unequivocally demonstrated the efficacy of ozone discectomy.

At Doctor Kares, we are fortunate to have close contact with the worldwide leaders in this field and are proud to have put India on the map for our contributions to the field. We are the founding hospital sponsor of the Ozone Forum of India, and our director is the Executive Director of the Ozone Forum of India. Our founder, Dr. Vijay Sheel Kumar, is the President of the World Federation of Oxygen Ozone Therapy and a member of the illustrious International Scientific Committee on Ozone Therapy.
