Slipped disc is caused by vitiation of Vata (one of the principle dosha responsible for the movement and function of the body). Ayurvedic treatment focuses at bringing back the increased vata to equilibrium. At Ayush AYURVEDA, we provide excellent treatment for Slip disc, prolapsed disc or herniated disc. With our vast experience in treating Spine related conditions, today we are successfully dealing with even post surgical recurrence cases. We have reversed and prevented severe cases of slipped disc where patients were prescribed surgery. The treatment comprises of Ayurvedic Panchakarma procedures and internal medications. Therapies like Abhyanga swedam, Nasyam, Pathrapotala swedam, Choornapinda swedam, Pizhichil, Shirodhara, Kativasthi, Greevavasthi, Navarakizhi, Vasti etc. are done as per the necessity and condition. These therapies help in relieving the inflammatory changes, releasing the spasms and nerve compressions in the affected area, strengthening the supportive tissues holding the spine, nourishing the joints by improving the circulation. Usually the treatment period is 4 – 5 weeks according to the severity of the disease. It not only helps in curing the slipped disc but it also helps in increasing the longevity of the patient.
