Healing Disc Bulge Naturally: Ayurvedic treatment

A 60-year-old woman from Chennai has been employed as an accountant for the past 15 years. As part of her job, she has been required to sit for 8 hours each day. In 2016, she began to experience pain in her lower back, which gradually started spreading to both of her legs. Due to this pain, her walking posture altered, resulting in a slanted walk. She noticed that her pain seemed to get worse during the night and in cold weather. She was unable to move without assistance and was unable to ascend stairs due to severe pain. She also had some other issues, like constipation, gas in her stomach, and reduced appetite. Her mother also had the same problems. She attained menopause at the age of 50.

A physical examination and MRI scan showed disc rupture in the L4-L5 range. The patient did not see any improvement in her symptoms after taking the allopathic medicine for a month. Under the guidance of Dr Sanand’s care, the patient was admitted to a month-long IP treatment at Sree Subramanyam Nursing Home. consequently, she was able to walk on her own, achieve a straight walking posture, and ascend stairs without difficulty.

Herniated Disk

Herniated discs occur when the hard outer layer of a disc in the spine ruptures or tears, causing the soft interior of the disc to protrude through the outer layer. According to research, over 80% of discs that have herniated are located in the lower spine.

Herniated discs can develop as a result of sudden, severe trauma or repetitive minor trauma. Additionally, weight gain or difficulty in lifting heavy objects (especially when lifting them incorrectly) can contribute to the development of herniated discs.

Symptoms:

• Pain
• Numbness
• Muscle weakness
• If the nerve root pressure is high, the leg may become paralyzed
• Bladder and bowel control may be lost

Diagnosis

• Imaging tests like MRI, CT
• Nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and other tests of nerves and muscles are performed.

The alteration of lifestyle and work environment has been a contributing factor to this physical condition. A systemic examination of the patient and a study of body composition is necessary to determine the underlying cause and determine the most suitable ayurvedic treatment for slip disc. IVDP can be managed effectively and help you avoid surgery with the help of expert physicians from SSANH. Ayurvedic treatments are safe and effective for you, and they are natural and holistic, and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
