IN SIDDHA SYSTEM OF MEDICINE:

In Siddha system,spinal disorders and Sciatica related problems are dealt in “VATHA DISEASES”

The following 2 types of “VATHA” diseases correlate with Sciatic problem.

These are described in “YUGI VAIDHYA CHINTHAMANI” by “YUGI SIDDHAR” clearly.

SIDDHA TREATMENT:

Vatha diseases or Rheumatic diseases are treated initially with laxatives and the internal medicine is then administered.
Some specialised medicines are being used for this laxative procedures which are also direct medicine for painful conditions.
Both internal and external medicines are used for Spinal diseases as well as Sciatica.
Massage with medicated oil which is a part of "THOKKANAM" is employed for Sciatica with very good results.
Other "THOKKANAM" method "TRACTION" is even now employed by the modern physiotherapist in the name of ELECTRONIC TRACTION.

MY EXPERIENCE IN SPINAL DISEASES:

I am practicing Siddha medicine for 13 years, immediately after completing UG degree course.
I am confident with spinal disorders and it's treatment methods in Siddha system through late.Dr.D.Gnanadhas,BIM,MD [s/o.Late.Vaidhyar.DevasahayamAsan-Kattukadai,Kanyakumari District] during after my 4th year BSMS studies.
He taught me the fruitful fact- "SPINAL DISORDERS ARE TREATABLE IN SIDDHA SYSTEM SUCCESSFULLY" if the patient co-operate fully
He proved it in thousands of spinal patients at his hospital.
I got the chance to be with him for a period-the golden period.
With that confidence,I have started treating spinal cases such as Sagana vatham (Cervical spondylosis),Thandaga vatham (Lumbar spondylosis),Perasana Narambu Thabitham (Sciatica),Lumbo-sacral strain,Disc prolapse,Degenerative diseases including Vertibral Basilar Insufficiency (VBI) with specially prepared Siddha medicines.
Except a few patients,most of them got excellent results within a short period.
I am really proud to say, that Siddha medicine is a reliable source for spinal diseases.
