2. since you have been diagnosed with the said problem, thus in Ayurveda we treat/manage the disease on the line of 'Gridhrasi'
3. Acupuncture has been approved by the U.S. FDA as a treatment for back pain, and the National Institutes of Health has recognized acupuncture as effective in relieving back pain.
