Severe Back pain after spine Injury - #25

Kavya

I am writingin to you because I have severe pain in my back, which started after I had a terrible accident 10 years ago. I broke my spine and since then it feels like I am carrying a heavy burden on my shoulders. I tried many treatments like physiotherapy, painkillers and even some home remedies, but nothing seems to help me. The pain is always there, sometimes it is sharp sometimes dull, but it never goes away. I feel very frustrated and helpless. Please, can you suggest some aayurvedic remedies or treatments that could help me find relief.

It sounds like your chronic back pain, which has persisted since your spine injury, may be related to an imbalance in Vata dosha, particularly in the bones and joints, which governs movement and can lead to pain when aggravated. To help alleviate your pain, I recommend using Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), which strengthens the bones and muscles and helps reduce pain and inflammation. You can take 500 mg of Ashwagandha twice daily. Another helpful herb is Shallaki (Boswellia serrata), which is known for its potent anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, especially for joint and bone pain. You can take Shallaki capsules (300-500 mg) twice a day. Dashamoola is another excellent herbal formulation that helps with pain, inflammation, and nerve-related discomfort, and it can be taken as a decoction or in tablet form. External treatments like Mahanarayan oil or Dhanvantaram oil for local massage are beneficial to relieve stiffness and pain—apply warm oil gently on the affected area daily, followed by a hot compress. Regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with warm sesame or medicated oil can also help balance Vata and provide relief. Gentle yoga and stretching exercises can improve flexibility and reduce discomfort, but be sure to avoid strenuous activities. In addition, therapies like Kati Basti (a localized oil treatment for the lower back) and Pizhichil (therapeutic oil bath) can provide deeper pain relief when done under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner. Incorporating a warm, nourishing diet with plenty of healthy fats, avoiding cold or dry foods, and keeping yourself well-hydrated will further support your body’s healing process.

Boswellia (Frankincense): Known for its ability to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Dietary Recommendations Anti-inflammatory foods: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive oil. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to maintain joint health. Avoid inflammatory foods: Limit sugar, processed foods, and excessive caffeine. Lifestyle Changes Yoga and stretching: Gentle yoga poses can strengthen the back muscles and improve flexibility.
