One of our strength is Pain Management. Whatever the origin
may be – Muscular, Nerve or Bone and how chronic or severe, it may be, our
integrative treatment can relieve it to the possible extent.
As we are experts in
pain management, we used to get lot of pain suffering patients. In our
observation, the pain of the majority of patients is associated with SPINE,
which is nothing but the result of modern lifestyle and food style.
In this post, I am compiling the study of three patients,
who came in with severe pain, originated from the Lumbar (Low back) part of the
Spine.
Case No:1
42 yrs old lady, Mrs. L, residing in Bharath Nagar,
Kumbakonam, working in the office of Agricultural engineering visited us with the
constant pain in both of the legs since 3 yrs. She could hardly stand 2
minutes, in a single stretch. She had treatment with city’s well known
Orthopedician for a long time. Pain was
off with medication and on when stopped. As a final solution, the specialist
advised her for a spinal surgery in his hospital (which is known for its’ love). Hearing this, shocked lady and
her husband, started searching for alternative medicines, tried Siddha with
many Doctors is of no use, landed in a renowned Ayurvedic Centre in John
Selvaraj Nagar. Though Felt good with Ayurvedic medicines, the kashayams and
arishtams, itself caused irritation and allergic and she renounced it. The main
reason she has decided to undergo our treatment protocol is that our pain
management is mainly based on external treatments, we give least preference to
the internal medications. Her MRI stated “Loss of disc hydration at L4-L5 and
L5-S1 levels. Diffuse annular bulge at L5-S1 level causing contact with anterior
thecal sac and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing”. Started with two
weeks therapy program in Kerala Naturopathy Centre followed by two weeks rest.
End of the course, she could stand comfortably for 30 minutes and the constant
pain in the legs subsided completely. Alongwith her Blood sugar also, came back
to normal.
Case No:2
33 yrs old lady, Mrs.A, from mothilal street consulted us
with a long standing pain of about 10 yrs in the left side of the hip, radiates
to the thigh, legs till toes. MRI reveals,”Mild L5-S1 intervertebral disc
degeneration. Posterior annular bulge with concentric annular tear and postereo
central protrusion of L5-S1 intervertebral disc causing antr. thecal sac
indentation with bilateral mild S1 nerve root encroachment. Undergone two weeks
therapy program and relieved of the pain completely, left the hospital with
mild tenderness in the left hip.
Case No:3
Mrs. V, 32 yrs, from Ganesh Nagar, Muthpillai Mandapam,
Kumbakonam, working as a Dietician in a reputed multi speciality hospital
nearby, was suffering from constant pain in the lower back since 3 months,
additionally she has developed a sharp burning pain in the right side of the
buttock. This burning pain, bothered her daily activities to an extent that she
used to get an episode of sharp,
excruciating pain which stands for 15 minutes, almost 10 times a day, during
when she is completely out of control. She sought the help of the Ortho specialist
in her own hospital. Upon careful investigation, she was given NSAIDS and
Analgesics, which coudn’t settle her problem. As usual, she was advised to go
for a surgery. That’s when, she called us to find out our treatment. She has
undergone two weeks of therapy. By finishing the course, her excruciating pain
episode, she suffered 10 times a day,
reduced to just one time in a day with 70% reduction in the intensity.
Her back pain is completely resolved.
Management:
All of these cases, our treatment protocol included Kati
vasti, Poultice massage of fried medicinal leaves with appropriate herbal oils,
Magneto therapy and Acupuncture.
