At 75, living with persistent lower back pain and sciatica can make everyday life challenging. For Mrs. Gunvanti, pain radiating into her right leg, accompanied by tingling and discomfort, had become a prolonged struggle. After more than a year of symptoms and only temporary relief from prescribed medicines, she began looking for an alternative to spine surgery.
Her experience at ANSSI Wellness, Vashi, became an important step in her journey towards improved comfort and mobility.
A Year of Pain and Temporary Relief
Mrs. Gunvanti was experiencing multiple degenerative changes in her lower spine, including an L5-S1 diffuse disc bulge, disc protrusion, Grade 1 anterolisthesis, dextroscoliosis at L5, facet arthropathy, foraminal narrowing, and spondylosis. Nerve root compression was associated with her sciatica symptoms, which included significant pain and tingling in the lower part of her right leg.
Although prescribed medicines provided relief, their effects lasted only a few hours. The persistent symptoms continued to affect her quality of life, and spine surgery was recommended.
Considering her age and the concerns associated with undergoing surgery, Mrs. Gunvanti and her family wanted to explore other treatment options before making a decision.
Discovering ANSSI Wellness, Vashi
In early January 2026, her son came across ANSSI Wellness through an online search. The family approached the Vashi clinic to understand whether a non-surgical treatment approach might be suitable for her condition.
Following consultation and assessment, an 18-day treatment programme for Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment was recommended, and Mrs. Gunvanti began treatment on the day of her consultation.
Experiencing Progress During Treatment
In the initial sessions, Mrs. Gunvanti began noticing relief from the prolonged pain she had been experiencing. By approximately the eighth or ninth session, she reported a considerable improvement in her symptoms.
As she approached the final sessions of her programme, she reported approximately 90% relief. This improvement was an encouraging milestone after more than a year of persistent discomfort and temporary relief from medication.
Throughout the treatment journey, physiotherapist Dr. Afreen provided support and personal attention. Mrs. Gunvanti particularly appreciated the care and encouragement she received during the sessions.
A Journey of Hope and Personalised Care
Mrs. Gunvanti’s experience highlights the importance of seeking an individualised assessment when persistent sciatica affects daily life. Non-surgical treatment and rehabilitation may be suitable for some patients, depending on their symptoms, examination findings, and overall medical condition.
For anyone experiencing similar symptoms, professional evaluation is essential before choosing or postponing surgery, particularly when nerve compression is present.
Mrs. Gunvanti’s reported improvement offers an encouraging account of her experience at ANSSI Wellness, Vashi, and the supportive role played by Dr. Afreen during her treatment journey.
