X-ray-guided percutaneous ozone discolysis. Shrinks the disc and frees the nerve without opening the spine.

See treatment →For chronic lumbago, muscle spasms and facet joint wear when painkillers no longer help.
See treatment →Major autohemotherapy to lower inflammation, restore energy and improve sleep.
See treatment →Local and systemic ozone to oxygenate tissue, control infection and close wounds that won't heal.
See treatment →Less joint pain and inflammation with less dependence on anti-inflammatories.

Four steps, no vague promises. Tap each one to see what happens, how long it takes and what to bring.
Dr. Márquez reviews your scans and history, examines the painful area and tells you clearly whether you are a candidate. If you aren't, we tell you that too.
We define the route (intradiscal, intra-articular, blood, skin…), the ozone concentration between 2 and 87 mcg/ml and the number of sessions for your diagnosis.
Injection, X-ray-guided discolysis or autohemotherapy under local anesthesia. No operating room, no hospital stay: you walk out the same day.
We review your progress in person and on WhatsApp directly with the clinic, adjust the plan if needed and give you guidance to keep the result.

Real patients
My 14-year-old daughter had severe pain in her left leg from an L4-L5 herniated disc. The procedure with Dr. Márquez gave her back her mobility and took away the back and leg pain. She was scheduled for pediatric neurosurgery and we were able to avoid it. (Translated from Spanish.)
Dr. Ana Laura Márquez Sierra provides great service and is very patient; she explains things with tact. The facilities are high quality and she offers the best service in her specialty. (Translated from Spanish.)

Frequently asked
Local anesthesia is used for injections and discolysis. Most patients describe a few seconds of pressure or mild burning. Autohemotherapy feels like a blood draw.
It depends on the diagnosis. A herniated disc is usually resolved with one discolysis plus follow-up; knee and chronic pain are treated in cycles of 5 to 10 sessions. You get the number at your evaluation.
For spine and knee it helps a lot to bring a recent MRI or X-rays. If you don't have them, we tell you which ones to get at the evaluation.
We use medical ozone generated from pure oxygen at controlled concentrations between 2 and 87 mcg/ml, following Mexican Ozone Therapy Association protocols. It is contraindicated in very few cases (e.g. uncontrolled hyperthyroidism or favism), which we rule out at the evaluation.
Yes: cash in dollars or pesos, credit and debit cards. Ask about payment plans for multi-session treatments.
