Ayurveda and allopathy come together to heal spinal ailments

New Delhi, June 29

The Indian Spinal Injuries Centre in the capital has come up with a holistic treatment combining two different forms of medicine - Ayurveda and allopathy- to heal spinal injuries and other orthopaedic problems. This will not only be effective but also economically viable, say medical practitioners.

Chitra Kataria, head of the department of rehabilitation, said the treatment will allow the patient to undergo advanced spinal and orthopaedic surgery, followed by a range of therapy using natural ingredients and a strict diet as per Ayurveda.

Patients not fit to undergo surgery will be given a natural ingredients treatment under Ayurveda.

“With Ayurveda's proven results in all kinds of pain, including pain in the back, neck and knee, arthritic and joint pains, headache, pressure sores and after-surgery ailments, more and more patients are nowadays opting for this kind of supportive therapy," Kataria said.

“Also with this, a patient will be able to choose whether he/she wants to go for allopathic or Ayurvedic therapy since not everyone is in favour of the former these days,” she added.
