I was advised immediate surgery – but I avoided
“In 2016 I started developing neck pain. The pain gradually started radiating to my hand and I started getting numbness in my fingers while driving, eating etc. I consulted an orthopedic doctor who gave painkillers and advised physiotherapy.
Since the pain came back when I stopped pain-killers he advised a scan
it was revealed that I had 2 disc prolapses in the cervical spine and was pressing the nerve going to my hands – The doctor advised immediate surgery
That was when I explored alternatives and was referred to Dr Keshavan.
After a detailed consultation he prescribed Ayurveda oral medicines and medicated oil for body application with few lifestyle modifications. I took medications for 3 months and was completely cured. Currently I’m under maintenance medication where I apply oil to my neck and shoulders twice a week. I’ve not had any neck pain or numbness in the last 5 years and lead a very normal active life.”
