Slipped Disc

A slipped disc can cause intense back pain, tingling, numbness, or radiating pain down the leg or arm—often affecting mobility and confidence. Saankhya Ayurvedam’s Slipped Disc Support focuses on easing pain, reducing nerve irritation, and improving spine stability through personalized Ayurvedic therapies and guided lifestyle care. Ayurveda often connects disc-related pain to Vata aggravation, dryness, strain, and weakened tissue support.

Common concerns we support

• Lower back pain radiating to leg (sciatica-like symptoms)
• Neck disc discomfort with arm tingling
• Stiffness, muscle spasm, reduced flexibility, fatigue due to pain

Ayurvedic approach

We evaluate posture habits, work routine, sleep quality, digestion, and stress—because these strongly influence Vata and pain perception. The goal is to calm Vata, reduce inflammation, release spasms, and nourish tissues (especially muscles, ligaments, and joints).

Therapies & care plan (as suitable)

• Abhyanga (medicated oil massage) to relax muscles and support circulation
• Kati Basti / Greeva Basti (oil pooling for lumbar/cervical region)
• Swedana to reduce stiffness and spasm
• In select cases, Basti therapy as part of Panchakarma support (only under supervision)
• Gentle strengthening guidance and ergonomic corrections

Lifestyle and movement guidance

Recovery improves when strain triggers are removed: long sitting, bending-forward loads, poor mattress support, and sudden twisting. We suggest safe movement patterns, heat support, adequate rest, and simple stretches (only when suitable). Nutrition focuses on warm, nourishing foods that stabilize Vata and support tissue repair.

Note: Sudden loss of bladder/bowel control, severe weakness, or rapidly worsening numbness needs emergency medical evaluation.
