I am Sr. Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi and was suffering from acute exacerbation of chronic backache. My severe backache was a major hinderance in my surgical work. I was also unable to play Golf, my favourite game. This was giving me lot of physical as well as mental strain. I had undergone physio therapy at Apollo Hospital but my sufferings still persisted. At last I took acupuncture sittings from Dr.M.S.Aggarwal which helped me a lot. Only after six sittings I could go to golf course for practice again. Though I was confident about results of Acupuncture, yet my confidence increased many folds when I got myself benefited.

Mrs. Raj Rani Shrivastava 70 yrs. old , a housewife and wife of Dr.S.C.Shrivastava, E.N.T.surgeon, was suffering from:

1. Low backache
2. Pain shifting to both legs with more distress in left leg
3. Pain in lowback was present even on standing
4. Could not walk due to pain
5. Pain on left side of low back was constant, even on sitting.

40 sittings of acupuncture were given to her in two courses of 20 sittings each, with a gap of 2 mths.

She reported 50% relief in all the symptoms after first 20 sittings. Next 20 sittings increased this relief to another 15% thus totaling 65% in all. The effects were sustained.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN…………….

One day I along with a friend was running in the park. While running fast, I slipped badly and immediately pain started. I went to an Orthopedic surgeon for treatment where I was told to undergo physiotherapy., but I had no relief. After this my surgeon got X-ray & MRI scan done. He advised me to get myself operated because I had "Slip Disc".He told me that operation had no side effect and it will be fine soon.

THE OPERATION………………..

I got my slip disc operated on 30^th April,2002. The operation failed badly and I had to undergo another operation after 3 days. The back pain had gone but due to the effect of operation my left leg became numb. It was very difficult for me to even walk.

POST OPERATION……………….

Those were very difficult days. I could not use my left leg. I went to my same Orthopedic Surgeon for physiotherapy for 4 mths. But it had little effect. I went to other places too but still my condition was not very good. Then as the days past, due to my sheer determination and will, I started walking on my own and then after few mths. I even started jogging.

AND THEN……………………..

On 26^th Jan. 2005, I was playing cricket with my friends and suddenly I had pain on my lower back.I went to another doctor, and then after an MRI I was told that I had Slip Disc.

MET THE RIGHT PERSON AT THE RIGHT TIME…………………

The doctor who got my MRI done could not help me much. Even after 1 month of exercise, I had no relief in pain.

Then a neighbour told me about Dr.M.S.Aggarwal who is specialist in acupuncture. Till the time I met him, I was quite apprehensive about the treatment but after meeting him for a few minutes, I was convinced and then he started my treatment.

THE RESULT…………………….

Immediately after the first sitting, there was a huge relief. Only a day before meeting him, due to severe pain, I had a black out and I fell down very badly. But after the sitting, the pain had gone as if 20 kgs. of sand pack was removed from my lower back. Now today, after 14 sittings, there is no pain left.

I feel absolutely O.K.
