Hi LD,
thank you for your question, and hope your husband will get better soon. you didnt mention how severe his symptoms are, personally i advise to try to lower the pain using non surgical treatments, meaning avoid surgery as long as you can unless symptoms leads to muscle wasting or weakness inability to move and etc. i am not aware of ozone therapy sorry but NSAIDS medications will help relief inflammation and pain. hope this helped.
best regards
