What are the ways to treat disc desiccation with pain in leg?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have a disc desiccation. There is a pain in my right leg while walking.

Kindly help.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to iclinq.com.

In Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapy, there is a procedure named Kati basti, which is helpful in this problem and your treating Ayurvedic physician will also prescribe you oral medications while performing this procedure. It is a non-invasive procedure done with the help of medicated Ayurvedic oils. You can visit a nearby Ayurvedic hospital or Panchakarma center and ask for the details.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Answer 2

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. See Ayurvedic treatment is helpful up to a great extent if followed properly but it takes longer duration, usually around three to six months. The desiccated disc will get hydrated up to some extent and you will be able to walk in the future. However, I cannot say anything about running and jumping right now.

Physiotherapy is also helpful once the condition of extreme pain is over. You can continue physiotherapy with your medicines. Your physiotherapist will help you maintain good posture and do some exercises. Later, you can learn these exercises. But do not overstrain yourself and do under supervision only. Do not lift heavy objects and maintain good posture. Do not smoke if you do because it will make the condition worsen. Add turmeric and ginger to your diet because they are helpful in this condition. Take treatment regularly and you will soon feel better results.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
