Condition Treated: Cervical Radiculopathy & Disc Bulge

Experience:

I came to AktivHealth with acute pain due to a disc bulging in my cervical spine. This lead to radiating pain and numbness in my left arm. With AktivHealth’s personal care and concern for every individual patient, my situation changed completely. I was in a state of getting operated when I came in, but with just 3-4 physio sessions at AktivHealth got me relief. The AktivHealth team has been very disciplined, effective and professional in their approach and I have learnt a lot about exercises and correct posture from them.

Condition Treated: Chronic Cervical Pain

Experience:

I came to know about AktivHealth through the internet and came to the center in December 2015. I was suffering from chronic cervical pain (headache) and severe pain in the neck. Germany had undergone few physiotherapy massage sessions for the same but there was not much relief. The diagnosis of my ailment by the sheer involvement of Dr. Mueller and his team by going into the basics has been above par. The excellent standard of approach by the physiotherapist Mr. Puneet Rehani has been instrumental in my headaches have almost disappeared. His constant advice has made me more conscious about maintaining a healthy posture and indulging in routine activities of daily life. By sheer perseverance, regular monitoring and personal care by the staff at AktivHealth, I can feel the strength returning to my body, improvement in posture and look forward to daily activities at home as well at work. “AktivHealth indeed makes the tough get going!

Condition Treated: Spinal & Neurological Problem

Experience: 

I was introduced to AktivHealth by my golfing friend, Mr Gagan Verma, who himself had been suffering from a severe spine problem and got completely rehabilitated at the same center. He had strongly urged me to start my treatment at AktivHealth. This is how I met Dr. Mueller, who along with Physiotherapist Akshay Arora, examined my physical condition. I was suffering from a broad-based Disc Protrusion at L4-L5 in my Lumbar Spine and was diagnosed with Spinal Canal Stenosis and Neural Compression at L4-L5 level, causing intense pain in my both legs. Since then, I have been taking my physiotherapy sessions from Akshay who taught me various techniques very thoroughly, both with and without the equipment installed at different departments of the center. I must state, the facilities provided here are certainly state-of-the-art and the patients are fully trained to use them for their physical improvement and fitness. After a period of 10-12 weeks, my body movement had improved and the pain in my legs did not bother me anymore. Thereafter, with subsequent assessments by Dr. Mueller and therapy sessions with Akshay, I have even resumed my game of golf which I couldn’t play before, owing to severe pain. Here’s what I found different at AktivHealth: During my rehabilitation period, I observed that the technique followed here to be very unique. Doctors train different muscles and components of the spine to reduce stiffness, making muscles more flexible resulting in pain relief. The center follows a unique system of rehabilitation wherein they work not just to reduce pain but also to help you achieve your activity goals in life. I appeal to all patients to be regular in doing the exercises religiously and enjoy a life free of avoidable body ailments. I strongly recommend AktivHealth to one and all having orthopaedic problems.

Condition Treated:  Cervical Spine & Disseminated Neuropathy

Experience:

I came to AktivHealth in a state wherein I could not walk, sit, eat, bathe or even carry out other routine activities without being helped or supported by a dedicated attendant. This condition had developed due to diabetes and the cervical spine, which in turn, has affected my nerves. A biopsy carried out earlier at Mayo, U.S.A., had revealed that my nerves were getting damaged. Fortunately, regeneration of the nerves had started and very limited progress was made in the rehabilitation center where I underwent physiotherapy apart from being subjected to a strong dose of Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and protein. On returning from the U.S.A., my family members were on the lookout for a place where I could be treated effectively since my ailment required specialized care. I scoured the net and came across the name of AktivHealth. We met Dr. Mueller and Dr. Pooja and after due consultation and deliberation, we decided to get myself treated at AktivHealth.   I was entrusted under the care of Dr. Pooja, the physiotherapist, and what followed thereon cannot be expressed in words. Right from the initial diagnosis to the analysis of the symptoms, the conduct of Dr. Mueller and his staff was an epitome of professional competence. Dr. Pooja ensured that my discomfort melted. By her dedication, motivation and resolute attitude, I could be pushed to new heights and with every new stage, we strived to attain higher levels. Today I can sit, drive, use the laptop independently and walk with the help of a walker which was unthinkable before my treatment at AktivHealth commenced. The very fact that patients want to come for the furtherance of treatment, undoubtedly makes AktivHealth an automatic choice!

Condition Treated:  Spinal Cord Injury

Experience:

He (Mr. Kevin) had almost lost his will to continue his treatment and we would have gone back to our country (Nigeria) with a certain feeling of dejection and despondency if his physiotherapist, Ms.Aditi Midha had not been so motivating and a big pusher. She always encouraged him to go on. It was only her who made all the difference. She always told him, ‘You can do it. You have to do it. You have to get well and walk again’. We would also have gone back had his condition remained the same. But we stayed back as he was improving a lot at AktivHealth. Aditi’s inspiring words and tremendous efforts kept him sailing and the difference is here for all of us to see. He was fully paralyzed for 5 years in Nigeria and there was no hope that he would stand on his feet again. We have been to a couple of facilities in our country taking sessions twice a week but we did not get much improvement. We came to India primarily for his surgery but were told that he needed only physiotherapy. Then, one doctor (Dr. Surbhi Suden) referred the name of AktivHealth to us and that is how we landed at this facility in April 2014. We liked the facility, its caring and friendly staff, and high standard equipment. The process has been very scientific and systematic. The results have been beyond our expectations. We would like to stay in India and continue his sessions but have to go back to Nigeria. Nonetheless, we will follow the home exercise program (HEP) given to us by AktivHealth. The quality and care are fantastic at AktivHealth. Now, he is able to walk again and that is truly magical. The facility is very good with all the advanced equipment in place. We would like to thank Dr.Gerd Mueller, Dr.RanaChengappa and Ms. Aditi for bringing about all these positive changes in his condition.
