Can I Undergo Ozone Treatment After Analyzing MRI Report?

My MRI scan shows that form L1 to L6 discs and bones are dehydrated and degenerative and s disc is very weak. I took ayurvedic treatment for the same but pain continues if I sit for long duration. Kindly suggest me whether I can go for ozone treatment.

Thank you sir

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Combined intradiscal and periganglionic injection of medical ozone and periganglionic injection of steroids has a cumulative effect that enhances the overall outcome of treatment for pain caused by disk herniation. Oxygen-ozone therapy is a useful treatment for lumbar disk herniation that has failed to respond to conservative management. A reduction in herniated disk volume is one of the therapeutic aims of intradiscal administration of medical ozone, as disk shrinkage may reduce nerve root compression. Another reason for using medical ozone to treat disk herniation is its analgesic and antiinflammatory effects.
