Hello Sushmita, The information that you have given is not adequate. Since when do you have this symptoms? have you gotten yourself checked by an orthopaedic doctor? Do you have any details of your x-ray or MRI of the spine? This symptoms look mostly like cervical and lumbar spondylosis along with frozen shoulder and sciatica pain. What is your current weight, and did you have any recent weight gain?

Your symptoms suggest a combination of cervical and lumbar spine issues, along with associated pain and discomfort in the neck, shoulders, and legs. In Ayurveda, conditions like these can be attributed to an imbalance in Vata dosha, which governs movement and can lead to pain and stiffness when aggravated. To address your condition, a multifaceted approach is recommended.
Start with gentle stretching and strengthening exercises that focus on the neck, shoulders, and lower back to improve mobility and relieve tension. Incorporate practices such as Yoga or Pranayama (breath control) to promote relaxation and enhance circulation to the affected areas.
Herbal remedies like Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Turmeric (Curcuma longa) can help reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. You may also benefit from Kottamchukkadi oil or Mahanarayana taila for external application to soothe the affected areas. Regular warm oil massages (Abhyanga) can promote blood flow and relieve stiffness.
Consider dietary adjustments as well, focusing on warm, nourishing foods that pacify Vata, such as soups, stews, and healthy fats like ghee. Additionally, maintaining proper posture while sitting and engaging in ergonomic practices during daily activities can help prevent further aggravation of your condition.

Dealing with pain in the spine like l4-l5 and c6-c7, alongside sciatica, neck pain, and a frozen shoulder sounds like a lot. Trust me, I get it—it must be exhausting.
First things first: when you're facing intense or persistent pain, it’s essential to also have close oversight from a healthcare provider, ideally a specialist like a neurologist or orthopedic, who can monitor your condition and suggest urgent treatments if needed. Ayurveda can complement this beautifully though.
From an Ayurvedic view, the stuckness in the back and shoulder looks like an imbalance of Vata dosha. Vata controls movement in the body, and when it's out of whack, it can bring stiffness, pain, and discomfort in movement. Here's what you might consider trying:
- Start with warm sesame oil massages on your back and neck. Warm oil pacifies Vata by providing warmth and lubrication to stiff muscles—do this daily if you can. Try heating the oil just enough for it to be warm but not hot!
- Beneficial yoga poses for you might include Bhujangasana (Cobra) and Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose). These pose help in gradual stretching and strengthening the spine and should be done gently without straining. Listen to your body, okay?
- Internal herbs can also play a role. You could look into Ashwagandha—it’s known for its pain-relieving properties. Typically, it’s taken with warm milk in the evening.
- On the diet front, favor warm, cooked foods and spices like ginger and turmeric which are anti-inflammatory. These can hep settle Vata too!
- Try regular warm baths, with added Epsom salts maybe, which can offer some relief for muscle tightness.
It’s also crucial not to neglect the emotional side of pain. Stress, worry, and feeling overwhelmed can aggravate Vata even more! Daily breathing exercises or meditation—even a short while—can do wonders.
Remember to adapt any routine to your personal thresholds, and hey, always loop in your doctor if new symptoms emerge. Mainly make sure to get immediate help if widespread numbness or weakness appears, alright? Take care of yourself and remember—healing is a journey, not a sprint.
