Sciatica - Disc Prolapse Patient
- AR
I can't recommend Dr. Bendale highly enough. He truly saved me from what felt like an absolute nightmare. At just 37, I was crippled by lower back pain that shot all the way down my leg. I saw three different orthopedic specialists, all of whom diagnosed sciatica and a prolapsed disc in my lumbar spine (confirmed by MRI). For eight agonizing years, I was trapped in a cycle of painkillers and physiotherapy, but nothing helped.
By April 2012, the pain was unbearable. Even taking 3-4 painkillers daily didn't touch it. I was completely bedridden for 7-8 months, utterly dependent on my family for everything. I couldn't even care for my 4-year-old son, and I honestly lost all hope of ever walking normally again.
My orthopedic consultant recommended another MRI, but I was in so much pain I couldn't even lie on the scanning machine. Surgery was the next option, but the risks terrified me. I was desperate.
Then, in November 2012, I remembered Dr. Bendale, whom I'd seen a few years prior for vertigo. Consulting him was the best decision I ever made. He didn't just offer treatment; he offered hope. He reassured me, with absolute confidence, that I wouldn't just walk again – I'd be running in no time! His positivity was a lifeline in my darkest hour.
Dr. Bendale prescribed a course of 'Yoga Basti' and some oral medications. Incredibly, after just eight days of Basti treatment, my pain was gone. I was walking again!
And the truly amazing part? Since November 2012, I haven't experienced that back pain once. I can walk freely, without any discomfort whatsoever.
I am eternally grateful to Dr. Bendale and the team at Rasayu clinic. They gave me back my life, pain-free, and helped me avoid the risks of spinal surgery. If you're struggling with back pain, please, please see Dr. Bendale. He's a miracle worker.
Post Spinal Surgery Complication Patient
- AJ
On January 22, 2020, my wife underwent spinal surgery for lumbar radiculopathy, a procedure that was extremely stressful for both her and our family, particularly as she was only 34 years old. After the surgery, she remained fully dependent on catheterization for eight long months due to urinary retention. The surgeon initially suggested she would regain normal urinary function within three months, but that wasn’t the case. Being young and female, the discomfort and embarrassment of living with a catheter was unbearable. It affected her self-esteem, and simple tasks like traveling became nearly impossible. Every day was a mental and emotional struggle, as she faced the discomfort of the catheter and the social stigma of being unable to manage her own bodily functions.
Despite seeking advice from several specialists, none of the treatments or medications proved effective. That’s when we decided to seek help from Rasayu, on the recommendation of relatives who had received successful treatment there.
Dr. Bendale took the time to thoroughly understand my wife’s medical history and performed a careful examination. He suggested a personalized Rasayana therapy plan combined with proper bladder training over the course of a month, with a follow-up evaluation.
The results were astonishing. After eight months of dependency on the catheter, my wife was completely able to stop using it in just 25 days. She now passes urine normally and can go about her daily activities with ease. The relief and joy we felt were beyond words, and my wife is now free from the discomfort and emotional toll that catheterization had caused. It truly feels like she has regained her life.
Knee Injury Patient
- KB
My daughter, aged 12, has been passionately playing badminton since she was 7. Unfortunately, during one of her practice sessions, she sustained an injury to her knee, which caused pain radiating down to her calf.
We consulted an orthopaedic specialist, who suggested painkillers and even recommended surgery, as the X-ray indicated considerable damage to the knee. Given her age and her deep love for badminton, she became frustrated by the constant pain and the need to stay in bed.
At this point, a neighbour of Dr. Bendale, who is also a friend, recommended Rasayu for her treatment.
When I met Dr. Bendale, he was reassuring and took the time to address all my concerns. He recommended an MRI, which revealed lateral subluxation of the patella, trochlear dysplasia, and marrow oedema. Despite the severity of the injury, he was confident that with proper treatment, she would soon be back on the court.
Dr. Bendale prescribed a course of Ayurvedic medicines and advised using a knee brace for 16 hours a day on the right knee, gradually reducing the usage over time. Within a month, my daughter’s pain had significantly reduced, and after four months of treatment at Rasayu, she was completely pain-free and without any swelling. She is now back to playing badminton.
We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Bendale for his expertise and care, which helped us avoid surgery at such a young age. His understanding of Kimaya’s passion for badminton, combined with the power of Ayurvedic treatment, has enabled her to return to the sport she loves.
Heel Pain Patient

As a homeopathic doctor, I understand the body's healing potential. Yet, my chronic heel pain, exacerbated by overexertion, defied even my own treatments, only offering partial relief. The pain became a debilitating obstacle, disrupting my daily life.
Seeking a definitive solution, I turned to Dr. Bendale at Rasayu Ayurved Clinic, on the recommendation of a trusted relative.
He prescribed simple-to-take capsules, and within three months, my heel pain vanished completely. I'm now back to enjoying life, free to walk, run, and even jump without restriction.
Arthritis Patient
- SG
As a housewife, I had always been active, taking care of my family and home without any issues. However, everything changed when I began experiencing severe knee pain, wrist swelling, and ankle swelling. The pain became so unbearable that I was unable to do my daily activities. I turned to painkillers for relief, but I was concerned about their long-term side effects, which left me feeling hopeless. I began to wonder if I would ever be able to return to my normal life.
That was when I was introduced to Rasayu Ayurvedic Clinic. From the very first visit, I felt the difference. The doctors and staff were kind, understanding, and truly listened to my concerns. They crafted a personalized treatment plan specifically for my condition, and I began my journey toward recovery with hope in my heart.
To my surprise, the pain gradually reduced, and the swelling began to subside. I could see the progress, and it gave me the motivation to keep going. I followed the treatment plan diligently, and it made a significant difference—especially during the colder winter months when the pain had been most unbearable.
They not only helped alleviate my physical pain and swelling, but also gave me back my sense of hope and well-being. I’m now able to manage my daily activities once again, feeling like myself. I’m incredibly grateful for the relief I’ve experienced and for the improvement in my quality of life.
Many Thanks to Rasayu Clinic, for helping me regain my health and live a more fulfilling life.
Infective Spondylodiscitis Patient
- MK
Being a fitness freak, for me, no exercise is like not breathing. Still, destiny had something else planned for me. One day I woke up but was unable to get out of bed. I developed numbness and weakness in both legs to such an extent that was unable to walk.
Progressively along with weakness, I developed stiffness in both legs as well as severe backache. Along with this, there was an unbearable pain in the right lower limb. On consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon, he suggested immediate surgery as there were chances of damage to the spinal cord and paralysis. I was reluctant to go for the surgery. I decided to take the opinion of other surgeons. As I couldn't even walk, I used to visit the orthopaedic surgeon every time on a wheelchair. Every surgeon opined the same. My mind was getting more and more devastated after each visit to any doctor. I started losing hope as there was no assurance of getting completely healed even after surgery. One day, on my friend's advice I visited Rasayu clinic and consulted Dr. Yogesh Bendale. I very well remember the day I visited him. I was taken to Rasayu clinic on a stretcher, as I couldn't even sit properly.
Enervated in my mind and not sure of whether I will ever get healed, I met Bendale sir. That consultation was the best day of my life. For the first time I could feel a silver lining in my dark clouded life in all these months.
Improvement was seen gradually in 3 months after the treatment was started. Numbness and weakness in both my legs, backache, stiffness in both legs, pain in lower limb deceased.
Merely within 3 months I started walking with support. With the continuation of medicines, thereafter weakness, numbness and stiffness in both the legs went away. Mild stiffess was still there.
After months of treatment, now I am able to walk on my own and no pain or stiffness is felt. Today I am completely fine. I have recouped my health and my exercise regime is going on as it was before my illness
A million thanks to you, Dr. Bendale sit, I owe this healthy life to you
