Based on the information you’ve provided, it seems you’ve been experiencing persistent spine and back pain since 2021, which intensified after your C-sections. This is a common concern, and Ayurveda offers several approaches to address such issues.
Potential Ayurvedic Perspective
In Ayurveda, back pain is often associated with an imbalance of the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. The spine and bones are considered the sites of Vata. Factors that can aggravate Vata include:
Post-surgical stress: C-sections are major surgeries that can disrupt the body’s natural balance and create Vata imbalance.
Postpartum changes: Pregnancy and childbirth bring significant changes to the body, including hormonal shifts and physical strain, which can lead to Vata aggravation.
Emotional stress: The loss of your first child and the emotional distress associated with it can also be a significant factor in Vata imbalance. Emotional stress is known to manifest as physical pain.
Physical strain: Lifting and caring for a young child can put a lot of strain on your back, especially if your core muscles are weakened after multiple pregnancies and surgeries.
General Ayurvedic Recommendations An Ayurvedic practitioner would likely consider a holistic approach to address your pain, focusing on balancing Vata dosha and strengthening your body. Here are some general principles they might recommend:
Dietary Adjustments:
Focus on Vata-pacifying foods: Warm, cooked, and nourishing foods are recommended. Examples include soups, stews, cooked grains (like rice and quinoa), root vegetables, and healthy fats (like ghee and olive oil).
Avoid Vata-aggravating foods: Cold, dry, and raw foods should be minimized. This includes salads, cold drinks, and crackers.
Herbal Teas: Sipping on warm herbal teas with ginger, cumin, or fennel can aid digestion and soothe the nervous system.
External Therapies (Snehana - Oleation):
Abhyanga (Self-Massage): Regular self-massage with warm sesame oil or specific Ayurvedic oils (like Mahanarayan oil or Sahacharadi Thailam) can be very beneficial. It helps in lubricating the joints, soothing the nervous system, and reducing pain.
Kati Basti: This is a specific therapy for back pain where a dam of dough is built on the lower back and filled with warm medicated oil. This therapy helps in deeply nourishing and strengthening the lower back muscles and spine.
Pinda Sweda (Hot Poultice Massage): This involves massaging the affected area with warm poultices filled with herbs and rice. It helps in reducing stiffness and pain.
Lifestyle Modifications:
Gentle Movement: Gentle yoga poses (like cat-cow stretch and child’s pose), along with light stretching, can help improve flexibility and strengthen your back muscles. Avoid strenuous exercises that put a lot of pressure on your spine.
Adequate Rest: Getting enough sleep is crucial for the body to heal and repair itself.
Stress Management: Techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises (pranayama), and spending time in nature can help in managing stress and balancing Vata.
Proper Posture: Be mindful of your posture while lifting your baby, nursing, or even sitting. Use a support pillow while nursing and try to keep your back straight.
Treatment 1) Shatavari churna-3 gm 2 times a day with milk after food
2) dashamularishta-10 ml after food 2 times
Post-delivery, especially after a C-section, experiencing spine and back pain can be linked to several factors, including the physical toll of childbirth, hormonal shifts, and changes in posture while caring for the baby. From an Ayurvedic model, it’s essential to assess any doshic imbalances, particularly Vata dosha, which can be aggravated following surgery and during recovery.
Firstly, to alleviate this pain, consider incorporating warm oil massages, known as Abhyanga, into your routine. Use sesame oil, which is grounding and nourishing for the Vata dosha. Gently massage the oil into your back and spine at least 3-4 times a week; it can help to soothe pain and promote relaxation.
Pay attention to your posture when lifting or feeding your baby. Try sitting with a small cushion behind your lower back to maintain a neutral spine. Avoid sitting for long periods without changing position. Practice simple stretching exercises that focus on strengthening the back and releasing built-up tension. Poses like cat-cow and gentle twisting can be done even if you’re busy with a one-year-old.
Your diet can also be adjusted to help balance Vata. Include grounding and warming foods such as cooked grains (like rice or quinoa), warm teas like ginger, and root vegetables. Avoid processed, cold, or gas-producing foods that may aggravate your condition.
Furthermore, consider herbal supplements like Guduchi or Ashwagandha, which can support the body’s resilience and reduce inflammation. It is vital to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or a healthcare provider before beginning any new supplement, especially post-delivery.
If the pain persists or worsens, or if you notice any new symptoms, seek attention from a healthcare provider initially to rule out any underlying conditions requiring medical intervention. Maintaining a dialog with a physician about your symptoms is crucial for safe recovery.
Spine and back pain after delivery, especially following a cesarean section, is quite common. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, this might relate to vata imbalances, which can get aggravated by surgical interventions and the general stress and changes in body structure during and after pregnancy.
First, incorporate warm oil massage into your daily routine. Use sesame oil or mahanarayana oil, warming it slightly before applying. Massaging the lower back gently can help calm vata, improve circulation, and reduce pain. Do it in the morning for 10-15 minutes, followed by a warm shower.
Diet is important too. Focus on warm, cooked foods such as soups and stews that are easy to digest. Add spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric, which help kindle agni (digestive fire) and reduce vata. Make sure to drink plenty of warm water throughout the day.
Practicing gentle yoga or specific exercises to strengthen your back can be beneficial. Consider postures like cat-cow and pelvic tilts, which help to gently flex and extend your spine. Start slowly, and avoid any movement that increases pain.
Additionally, ensure that your body is getting proper rest. Try sleeping on a firm mattress with a pillow under your knees, which can help maintain the natural curvature of the spine.
If the pain persists or worsens, it’s crucial to seek medical attention. There could be underlying complications that need professional assessment to prevent further health issues. Always prioritize your well-being and reach out to a healthcare provider if necessary.
