Is surgery better in treating a slipped disk?

[raj]

hi all,
For all the pain sufferers ,i want to tell you that there is very effective treatment for slip disc in Kerala (South Indian state ).The tratment is called panchakarma -a unique ayurvedic treatment.My friend was suffering from agonising pain for almost 8 years.He did all with allopathic treatments (phsyotherappy,traction ,medicines ).but didnt get any good recovery. his MRI showed disc herniation,disc degeneration and even a crack in the bone. he couldnt even move his body .Finally he came to know an ayurvedic doctor in trivandrum(capital of kerala),and consulted him. for him the treatment tooks around 3 months + 1month.bed rest .After the treatment he was completely cured...The doc assures 100% cure ....He is back to normal life ....I can guarantee you that even those cases refferd for surgery can be very effectively treated using ayurveda.There are many centres inn kerala .. but you should search for the best one.

Hello all,

Maybe I missed it, but after perusing the comments, I can't seem to find any that suggest looking for the cause of the "slipped disc" or back pain.

In my experience there are three causal items implicated in most mechanical low back issues.

These are:

1. Lack of knowledge: Which may include lack of understanding what causes discs to bulge or herniate (aka "slipped discs"), which movements we tend to do often which can cause or perpetuate pain, injury and dysfunction, or lack of information about what we can do to resolve the problems.

2. Loss of motor control: This includes issues related to postures, muscle imbalance, movement patterns, and mobility.

3. De-conditioning: Which includes a lack of fitness, capacity, muscle endurance and strength.

In most cases, if the sufferer worked on improving their outcomes in each of these three areas, significant improvements would be seen without the need for invasive and potentially dangerous interventions such as surgery.

I do blog quite a bit about low back pain on my blog at http://devchengkalath.com if any of you are interested.

Hope that helps.
