I've had back pain for about a year now and my X-ray showed spondylolysis at L5-S1. I've heard about chiropractic care but I'm really not keen on surgery. What would you recommend as the best treatment option for this?

Core training and strengthening of back muscles play a major role in managing back pain. Dynamic stimulation therapy for strengthening of back muscles have shown good results in similar cases. It gives long lasting pain relief and also helps to arrest further degeneration.

View allI'm 24 and have bow legs what's the estimated cost for surgery, how long does recovery usually take, and what are the success rates like? I'm a bit worried about the whole process and want to understand what to expect.
Surgical correction for bow legs (osteotomy) typically costs between ‚Çπ1.5 to ‚Çπ3 lakhs per leg in India, depending on the hospital and surgeon. Recovery usually takes 3 to 6 months, including physiotherapy. Success rates are high (over 90%) with proper post-op care. It's normal to feel anxious, but most patients are satisfied with the results.
