Which Spondylosis Treatment in Ayurveda Works Best for Long-Term Spinal Health?

Question

I have been struggling with spondylosis and chronic back pain, and while physiotherapy helps, the relief is only temporary. I am looking for a natural approach using spondylosis treatment in Ayurveda, as Ayurveda focuses on treating the root cause of spinal degeneration rather than just managing symptoms.

Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic treatments for spondylosis include Kati Basti (warm oil therapy for the lower back), Pizhichil (therapeutic oil bath for joint lubrication), and herbal supplements like Shallaki and Yogaraj Guggulu. But how effective are these in slowing down spondylosis progression and providing long-term pain relief?

Another thing I’m curious about is whether spondylosis treatment in Ayurveda should be combined with lifestyle changes, exercise, or specific dosha-balancing diets. Has anyone successfully treated spondylosis using Ayurveda? If so, which remedies worked best for you?

Would love to hear from people who have followed Ayurvedic treatment for spondylosis and whether it provided long-term spinal health benefits.

Ayurvedic treatments for spondylosis, such as Kati Basti, Pizhichil, and herbal supplements like Shallaki and Yogaraj Guggulu, are highly effective in providing long-term relief by addressing both the root cause and symptoms of spinal degeneration. These therapies work to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and lubricate the joints, which can slow down the progression of the condition. When combined with lifestyle changes like regular exercise (especially yoga and stretches for spinal health), maintaining a balanced diet that supports joint and bone health, and managing stress to balance doshas, the benefits can be more profound and sustainable. Many people report significant improvement after consistent treatment over a few months, with noticeable reduction in pain and stiffness.
