Hello Arjun ji, Thank you for sharing your concern. your case is a very common lifestyle issue seen in people with sedentary jobs. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

** AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE**

In Ayurveda, your symptoms match: Kati Shoola – lower back pain Caused due to: ☑️ Vata aggravation (especially Apana Vata) ☑️Dhatukshaya (muscle or tissue weakness) ☑️ Lack of Snigdhatva (oiliness & lubrication)

✅ INTERNAL MEDICINE 1 Trayodashanga Guggulu 2-0-2 twice a day after food Strengthens nerves and bones 2 Yograj Guggulu 1 -0-1 twice a day after food Anti-inflammatory & relieves stiffness 3 Dashmoolarishta 15 ml -0-15ml with water after food Relieves deep Vata pain

This will take for 4-5 weeks to see improvement.

✅ EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATION – DAILY 20 MIN

👉Mahanarayan Taila - Warm slightly, apply to lower back, massage for 10–15 mins, then apply warm towel

👉Do it daily before bath, or at least 4x/week. It restores Snigdhatva. ( lubrication) and reduces Vata.

✅ PANCHAKARMA (if moderate-to-severe pain)

Do panchakrma if pain is more than a moderate If pain continues for months, 1 Sarvanga abhyanga with mahanaryana taila + kottamchukkadi taila 2 dashmool parishekha 3 kati basti with same oil 4 yoga basti Usually done in 7–14-day courses.

✅YOGA & MOBILITY EXERCISES

Bhujangasana Strengthens lower back Pelvic tilts Activates lumbar muscles Pawanmuktasana Relieves stiffness & gas pressure

➡️ Practice daily in morning OR evening ➡️ Do NOT do forward bending or heavy lifting

✅ LIFESTYLE CORRECTIONS (IMPORTANT For. You)

✅ Daily Habits: Sit on a firm chair with lumbar support Get up every 40–50 mins – walk for 2 mins or stretch Keep feet flat, avoid cross-leg sitting Apply warm oil weekly even after pain reduces

❌ Avoid: Sleeping on very soft mattress Sudden twisting/lifting heavy objects Cold, dry, and stale foods – they increase Vata Prolonged bike riding

👉Drink warm water throughout the day 👉Take 1 tsp of ghee with meals – natural Vata pacifier

Arjun ji, your pain is made worse by sitting and dryness in the body. But as you will be consistent with the treatment you will definately see results😊

Wish you a good health Dr Snehal Vidhate

HELLO ARJUN,

Your lower back pain is likely due to vata imbalance in Ayurvedic terms, specifically a condition known as katigraha(kati=lower back, graha=stiffness or holding)

This happens due to -long hours of sitting in one position -lack of movement - weak muscles and stiff joints -occasionaly lifting something heavy, which shocks or strains the spine - possibly poor digestion or improper diet that weakens bones and muscles over time

SYMPTOMS YOU MIGHT HAVE -dull or aching pain in lower back -pain that improves slightly when moving around - stiffness in back, especially in morning or after sitting -discomfort while bending or lifting - sometimes pain travels to buttocks or thighs

hello arjun, You’re sitting for long hours daily, right? So what’s happening is that your lower back muscles and nerves are staying in a fixed position for too long. Think of it like keeping a rubber band stretched over time, it loses its elasticity. Similarly, your back is stiff, your blood flow is reduced, and Vata dosha (which controls movement and nerve flow) gets stuck in that area. That’s why it feels better when you move a little but worse when you lift something heavy, because your back muscles are weak and not ready to take the load. Ayurveda helps by softening, lubricating, and relaxing those stiff tissues, while also strengthening them gradually.

Internal Medicines

Yogaraja Guggulu – 1 tab twice a day after food with warm water Dashamoola Kashayam – 15 ml with 45 ml warm water twice a day before food Eranda paka – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (to keep Vata moving smoothly)

External Oil

Murivenna oil – gentle massage on the lower back, followed by warm water compress for 10–15 mins daily

Asanas (Start gradually) Do these early morning or after work, gently:

Makarasana (Crocodile pose) – relaxes lower back Bhujangasana (Cobra pose) – strengthens lumbar spine Shalabhasana (Locust pose) – tones lower back and glutes Hold each pose for 20–30 seconds, repeat 3 times, and breathe deeply.

Investigations (if not done): Vitamin D3 and B12 (deficiency common in desk jobs) Lumbar spine X-ray or MRI (if pain shoots down the leg or is persistent)

If you stay consistent with this, you’ll start feeling a difference in a few weeks. If you have any doubts, you can contact me. Take care, Regards, Dr.Karthika
