Doctor information
Experience:
8 years
Education:
Sumatibhai Shah Ayurved Mahavidyalay Hadapsar
Academic degree:
Doctor of Medicine in Ayurveda
Area of specialization:
I am practicing from around 5 yeras now, mostly diving deep into joint care and a bunch of life-style issues that keep showing up again and again in my OPD. Sometimes I feel like the body keeps telling us clear signals but ppl just ignore them until the knee pain or back pain becomes too loud. I work a lot with knee joint troubles, chronic lower back pain, spondylitis cases, osteoarthritis that slowly limits movement, and Rheumatoid arthritis where inflammation goes kind of unpredictable if not handled with right ayurved chikitsa. I try to look at these conditions not only as “pain spots” but as whole-system imbalance, checking how their dincharya or ahar is disturbing vata or agni. And ya, I get a bit absorbed sometimes while examining, because each pt’s pattern is slightly diff even when the diagnosis is same on paper. I also specialise in lifestyle disorders seen in female pts — especially pcod/pcos, hypothyroidism and sometimes hyperthyroidism too. Endocrine imbalance shows up in small ways first, like irregular cycles or weight changes, and I focus on correcting digestion, routine, and hormonal rhythm through simple doable changes plus herbs. I mix structured assessment with a bit of intuitive reading of how they talk about their symptoms, bc that tells more than half the story. My aim stays steady: reduce pain, restore mobility, and support women in regaining balance when metabolism goes out of track.
Achievements:
I am completing my master’s degree from a reputed institute in Pune, something I still feel proud of even if I dont say it much. After that I kind of felt a pull to work away from big cities, and now practicing in a rural belt where ayurveda chikitsa was hardly reachable earlier. Sometimes the setup is simple, sometimes chaotic, but seeing ppl slowly trusting ayurved again makes all the effort worth it.. I keep learning while treating, and that itself feels like a small achievment everyday.

I am working in ayurved chikitsa from a little over 5 years now, and sometimes I feel like every new pt still teach me something diff even though I am mostly into joint care and lifestyle-related issues. I try to keep my approach simple but deep, using the classical principles of dosha balance, ahar, daily routines… and honestly I mix a bit of my own exp when I see a pt struggling to even explain their pain properly. I am not trying to sound too formal here, just sharing that most of my days go into treating joint stiffness, arthritis kind of problems, back aches that don’t go away, and metabolic or life-style disorders that people carry for years without noticing. And I found that proper chikitsa isn’t only medicine — it’s the way I talk to them, checking if they even sleep right or eating at wrong times, small things that create big mess in the body later. Sometimes I get stuck thinking if I shd change my method but then I see pts improving slowly, walking easier, or saying their swelling is less, and it remind me why ayurved logic works when we follow it properly. My aim is to give them a plan that fits real life, not some fancy routine nobody can follow. I also spend time adjusting treatment based on season, their job style, or stress levels, even if it takes few extra minutes. And maybe that’s why many pts with lifestyle disorders come back, because they feel someone is actually noticing their habits and not only symptoms. I still learn daily, try to refine my way of diagnosing and using panchakarma when needed. And in all this, my focus stays steady — joint care, long-term wellness, and showing people that ayurved isn’t slow, it’s just thorough, like tuning a system thats been out of balance for years.
