Back Pain & Spine Issues in Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, back pain and spine-related disorders are primarily associated with an imbalance of Vata dosha, which is governed by the movement of air in the body.
Back Pain (Katishoola/ Prishta Shoola) is a result of vitiated Vata dosha which gets aggravated by poor lifestyle, improper posture, stress, or trauma. As a result, the Vata imbalance causes dryness, stiffness, and degeneration of bones, muscles, and discs around the spine. (Hence, causing a lot of pain in and around the area)
Another reason for the spine issues could be due to blockage in energy flow (prana) and imbalance in Asthi (bone) and Majja (marrow) dhatus.
Why should Ayurveda be any health seeker’s first choice? Simply because, the ayurvedic treatment for back pain and spine will not only restore dosha balance but also nourish the spine and improve mobility. May also cure the problem forever.
