Athi Rathinam, Tamil Nadu

Hello, greetings. My name is Athi Rathinam. I work as a postmaster in the Indian postal department. I am 47 years old. About 7 or 8 months ago I had some back pain, and I was struggling somewhat with my activities. At that time, when I went to my regular doctor, he told me to have an X-ray. He said this was a problem that comes with advancing age, and gave me some tablets. When even after that the pain did not respond, I at once consulted a neurologist. He sent me for a scan and said I had a problem called sciatica. He said it was sciatica pain. Then I took about 2 weeks of treatment there. It seemed to reduce somewhat. After that it could not be controlled again. The pain kept increasing a great deal day by day. It was then that my uncle, whose name is Vaidheeswaran — he takes treatment regularly here at our AVN. He said, it is Ayurvedic; if you go there and have it done you will heal well. So on his reference I came here. I joined here on the 19th of the 2nd, and Dr. Biju sir was the one who examined me. Having examined me, he said I should take a week, 7 to 10 days, of treatment, and that if I took it, it would come right. I said all right, and was admitted here. The treatment goes on for me regularly, in the morning and in the evening; it is entirely Ayurvedic treatment, a full massage with those Ayurvedic medicines. With that treatment continuing, I had improvement from the very first day. It reduced little by little and now almost more than 80% has come right for me. Now they have prescribed some exercises. They have said that if I continue that and reduce my weight a little, there will be no problem lifelong. Here the sisters, and the care here, take very good care. From the quality department they come daily and ask what problems there are, whether there is anything, and what and why. The maintenance and the cleanliness are all absolutely first class. Theymaintain it very neatly. Likewise the people who do the massage attend very promptly. They come on time, exactly. Everything happens according to the schedule. It has run very cleanly and now I am nicely comfortable. So it is my view that if you come to AVN Hospital and take Ayurvedic treatment — if we take the treatment of our forefathers — we can keep our bodies strong and be free of problems for a long time.
