Hello Dear
Thanks for writing to Healthcare magic,
I have studied your case,
As per your investigastion reports , there seem to be large compression to spinal cord.
Long term Results of ozone therapy are not available,so its efficacy can not be comented. 2 -3 injections in epidural space need to be taken .
you can search on website for doctor search.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
This is just to inform you that you are not a fit candidate for ozone therapy because this therapy is only helpful in CONTAINED DISC HERNIATIONS (disc material lying inside) whereas in your case the disc material has EXTRUDED (lying outside the disc).
So the question of ozone therapy will not arise in your case.
The best option for you is to undergo MICROLUMBAR DISCECTOMY which gives promising results with very minimal morbidity.
Consult an orthopedic / spine surgeon and follow his advice.
Hope this information is helpful . Good day
