Suggest Treatment For Herniated Disc With Numbness In Toes
I have discomfort in number3 and 4 toes on right foot and number4 toe on left foot. Also I have a few numb spots on toes of both feet. I have three herniated discs in my back (last three) and have two sets of epidurals for the paint. Pain in my back, hip and legs is minimal now.

Epidural treatment is for managing the pain by steroid injections in epidural spaces around root nerves. Success rate is 50%. Chances of side effects are equal. Epidural injections block the sensation when nerves pass from roots to body parts through sleeve like epidural pouch around nerves.
It doesn't cure.
To my own patients I advise to take Ayurveda medicines like Ashwagandha, Brihat vatchintamani rasa and 'Agnikarma', leech therapy treatment alonngwith Yoga, deep breathing etc which have potential to cure in few months.
Ayurveda hospitals ONLY have this facility.
Hope it helps you.
