Dr. Shankar Prasad
Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | SDM College of Ayurveda & Hospital |
Academic degree: | Master of Surgery in Ayurveda |
Area of specialization: | I specialize in managing spinal disc-related conditions such as cervical and lumbar spondylosis, disc prolapse, and degenerative bone disorders through classical Ayurvedic therapies and para-surgical techniques. My expertise also includes treating anorectal disorders like piles and fistula using Kshara Karma and other minimally invasive Ayurvedic procedures including Agnikarma, Viddhakarma, and Raktamokshana. I have a strong clinical interest in neurological conditions and degenerative arthritis, where I focus on restoring mobility, reducing inflammation, and improving long-term joint health. I also manage sports injuries by integrating traditional therapies with rehabilitative care to promote natural healing and faster recovery. |
Achievements: | With over 9 years of clinical experience and 6 years in academic teaching, I’ve had the opportunity to serve both patients and students with dedication. Currently, I am engaged in research focused on Ayurvedic approaches to wound management, aiming to bridge classical principles with modern clinical outcomes for more effective healing. |
With over 9 years of dedicated clinical experience in Ayurveda, I have had the opportunity to treat more than 35,000 patients across both IPD and OPD settings. My practice encompasses a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, where I combine classical Ayurvedic principles with a patient-centered approach to achieve sustainable healing outcomes. My exposure to inpatient care has refined my diagnostic accuracy and treatment protocols, while my outpatient practice has helped me develop strong long-term care strategies tailored to individual health needs. For the past 6 years, I have also been actively involved in teaching Ayurvedic medical subjects to undergraduate students. This dual role as a clinician and educator has allowed me to deepen my own understanding of Ayurveda while mentoring future practitioners in evidence-based Ayurvedic medicine. I believe in creating a learning environment that balances tradition with modern clinical relevance. My practice philosophy emphasizes root-cause treatment through personalized diet, lifestyle correction, herbal medication, and, when appropriate, Panchakarma therapies. I maintain a strong focus on educating patients about their health, empowering them to take an active role in their wellness journey. Whether I am treating a complex chronic condition or guiding students through Ayurvedic theory, my goal remains the same—to uphold the integrity of Ayurveda while delivering compassionate, effective care that improves lives.
