Back Pain: India's Most Common Disability
Back pain affects people of all ages — desk workers, labourers, homemakers, and students. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj treats back pain with precision, identifying the exact cause before designing treatment. The goal is to resolve the underlying problem, not just relieve pain temporarily.
Back conditions treated at VPARC: lumbar disc herniation (slip disc / PIVD), sciatica, lumbar spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, facet joint syndrome, spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, postural back pain, muscle spasm, and post-spinal surgery rehabilitation.
