BACK PAIN TREATMENT

It is important to seek consultation with a specialist for back pain since there are some treatable and specific disorders that can lead to severe or persistent pains. These include infection (discitis, osteomyelitis), degenerative disc disease, ruptured disc, herniated disc, tumor, fracture, and others. Low back pain is one of the most common painful conditions. It has been estimated that up to 80% of all people have back pain which is disabling at some time in their lives. Most back pain occurs without any particular cause that a patient remembers.

HEADACHE TREATMENT

A pain or discomfort in the head or face area is usually considered to be a generic headache. Pain location, pain intensity, and how frequently they occur are a few different types of headache classifications. As a result of this variation, several categories of headaches have been created by the International Headache Society to more precisely define specific types of headaches. Disorders of the neck, eyes, brain, jaw or teeth, are some of the causes of headaches.

I got treated by Dr Akshay during lockdown for severe back pain and leg pain. I initially did video consultation and then visited him for a consultation in clinic after i was reassured that they were taking all precautions. I was afraid to go to hospital but was happy to see him in his clinic. He saw my MRI and told i have a small disc prolapse and treated with medicines. I was afraid i might need surgery but I improved with rest and exercises and lifestyle modification. I am very happy now and special thanks to Dr Akshay for taking time to see me during this pandemic and treating me well.
