How does Ayurveda treat lumbar spine issues, and what are the best natural therapies? - #12833
I have been struggling with lumbar spine pain, and my doctor suggested surgery as an option. But before going for such an invasive procedure, I want to explore lumbar spine treatment in Ayurveda and see if it offers a natural alternative. I’ve read that Ayurveda views lumbar spine problems as a result of aggravated Vata dosha, leading to nerve compression, stiffness, and disc degeneration. But how does Ayurvedic treatment actually work in reversing these conditions? Are there specific herbs or therapies that help in lubricating joints, reducing inflammation, and strengthening spinal discs? I’ve seen treatments like Basti therapy, Pizhichil, and Kati Vasti being recommended for lumbar spine issues. How effective are they for problems like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease? Also, do Ayurvedic doctors recommend yoga or lifestyle changes along with these treatments? If anyone has undergone lumbar spine treatment in Ayurveda, please share your experience. Did the treatments provide long-term relief, or were they only temporary? Also, how many sessions were needed to see a noticeable improvement?
