Intervertebral Disc Prolapse

Intervertebral Disc Prolapse (IVDP), commonly known as a slipped or herniated disc, occurs when the spinal disc bulges or ruptures, compressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness. Ayurveda identifies this condition as an imbalance of Vata dosha. Treatment includes therapies like Abhyanga (medicated oil massage), Kati Basti (warm oil retention on the lower back), and Pancakarma therapy Basti (medicated enema) to reduce inflammation, nourish spinal tissues, and improve disc health. Herbal medications strengthen bones and ligaments, while yoga and physiotherapy aid in maintaining spinal alignment. This holistic approach ensures long-term relief and prevents recurrence
