If you are experiencing low back pain, you are not alone. More than around 65 million people suffer from low back pain every year. The vast majority of cases back pain is caused by the irritation of a nerve root compression near the spine, not by problems with the muscles, ligament or bone. A nerve that travels from the spinal cord through the openings between the bones of the spine gets pinched or irritated, the surrounding muscles tense up and the patient experiences low back pain.
People who do not exercise regularly face an increased risk for back pain, as do obese people.
Ayurvedic Perspective
Due to the improper sitting or standing posture, lifting heavy objects and by doing more strenuous works the vatha in the body gets vitiated and gets lodged in the lower back leading to diseases of the lower back. (Degeneration of joint).
Emotional Implication:
- Low level of Tolerance
- Feeling totally unsupported by life
- Low self-esteem etc.
Treatment Approach Followed at Atrivana:
- Vata anulomana Kriya
- Sneha Vardhanam
- Bramhana kriya
- Ruksha Nivaranam
This unique approach takes care not only the need of your body but the mind too which is the root cause for lower backache. The vata reducing treatments done helps to increase the medho dhatu of the body and brings in the snigdhata which is lost.
