How does Ayurveda treat back pain, and what are the most effective therapies? - #12832
I have been experiencing persistent back pain for a long time, and conventional treatments like painkillers and physiotherapy have not provided lasting relief. I recently read that back pain in Ayurveda is treated differently, focusing on healing the root cause rather than just managing symptoms. But I want to understand how it works. From what I understand, Ayurveda sees back pain as a Vata imbalance, leading to stiffness, nerve issues, and inflammation. But how does Ayurvedic treatment correct this imbalance? Are there specific herbs, oils, or therapies that are best for strengthening the spine and improving flexibility? I’ve seen treatments like Kati Vasti, Elakizhi, and Abhyanga being recommended for back pain relief. How do these therapies compare in effectiveness? Are they best for conditions like sciatica, slipped discs, and posture-related issues, or do they work for all types of back pain? If anyone has undergone back pain treatment in Ayurveda, please share your experience. Which treatment worked best for you? Did the relief last, or did you need multiple sessions for long-term improvement?
