Suffer from back pain due to slipped disc. Pain reduced after Ayurvedic treatment. Can I play badminton?
Patient: age 23, weight 59i had disc slip 3months back in the L4/L5section. There was back pain and pain in my legs too and i adopted ayurvedic treatment. now the pain is cured and now i am able to do my daily activities with out any pain. there is only a mild pain at the back when i am sitting for a long time without back support.     i used to play badminton before this disc slip. now can i start playing again??? Doctor: Hello, as your mild pain is persisting and you are confirmed about the prolapse then you should start back and trunk strengthening exercises first along with hamstring stretching. Slowly after your pain resolves, start placing using a lumber support first and slowly wean off but mind you as the disc has prolapsed it can strike back again because the disc never goes back into its original space. All we have to do is certain life style modifications. How much you can play will be decided upon the magnitude of problem you have. Just go as per the protocol and you will be fit to resume your daily play. Thank you. Feel free to contact at drgautamsipani@gmail.com for further review.
