NAZAR, a 42-year-old male, worked as a Cook for several years, where his duties involved lifting heavy utensils. Around six years ago, while lifting a particularly heavy utensil, he experienced a sudden jerk in his back that marked the beginning of persistent lower back pain, which eventually extended down to his lower legs. Over time, he also started experiencing a tingling sensation in his lower back that spread all the way to both feet. As his condition worsened, he started experiencing pain and tingling in his neck region, which radiated into both of his hands. He found difficulty in getting up from sitting and lying posture. Seeking relief he consulted numerous orthopedicians and tried physiotherapy and Ayurvedic treatments, but he did not find any lasting relief. Following a suggestion based on an MRI report, surgery was recommended, but Nazar hesitated. Seeking an alternative solution, he came to Sree Subhramania Ayurveda Nursing Home for specialized care under the supervision of Dr. Sanand. Opting for Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment, along with internal medication and dietary adjustments, Nazar underwent a thorough healing process. During the assessment, his straight leg raise (SLR) test indicated a limited range of less than 50 degrees. Additionally, his uric acid levels were measured at 6.6, indicating a potential contributing factor to his discomfort. There is a relevant family history of lower back pain on both his mother’s and father’s side. After the 14-day inpatient treatment regimen, Nazar saw significant progress – a notable 40% decrease in his lower back pain and complete resolution of the tingling sensation in his right leg, coupled with a substantial 60% improvement in his left leg. This significant improvement highlighted the success of the personalized Ayurvedic approach, offering Nazar new hope and relief from his longstanding discomfort.
