Hello
Welcome to health care magic forum
ozone therapy for PIVD (prolapsed inter-vertebral Disc ) is available in many centre in India ,as it shrinks the prolapsed part of inter-vertebral disc.First discuss in details with the orthosurgeon who is doing it .It is effective in good number of cases & avoid surgical intervention.So go head.
Wish you good health
