BACK PAIN AND AYURVEDIC TREATMENT
Back pain has become a common cause of ill health among the world population. Changes in our life style, wrong postures and unhealthy food habits have contributed a major share in this aspect. Back pain gets often neglected during its primary course by the people. It’s when the pain starts to interfere with the daily activities, people generally seek medical advice. This makes the treatment more unmanageable and time consuming. Seeking medical attention during an early phase and maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps to reduce the grievous consequences of back pain.
In Ayurveda most cases of back pain can be attributed to the vitiated Vata dosha. But other doshas can also be involved in the pathology. It is to be noted that back pain is just a symptom not a disease. So any case of back pain should be studied and examined properly and then treated accordingly. Back pain can be acute and chronic. It can occur due to various causes like – poor posture habit, osteoporosis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, arthritis, infection, tumor, fibromyalgia, nerve affections, or a fall or blow to the back.
Ayurvedic treatment for back pain involves the use of kashayas, ghritas, poultices (kizhi) and Abhyanga (massage with herbal oils) followed by a herbal bath. Early stages of pathology can be treated with internal medicines and proper exercises. But majority of the case need to be managed with massage and other ayurvedic procedures in conjugation with medicines. Herbs used in the poultices and the herbal oils are carefully selected according to personal peculiarities and the intensity and cause of the disease. Following a strict diet and appropriate exercise during the course of treatment is equally important. Kalari marma massage has also become a part of most of the ayurvedic treatment for back pain. Kalari marma chikitsa is a form of massage in the kalari chikitsa system developed to benefit the warriors of kalarippayttu. It’s an ancient system of musculoskeletal treatment used by the kalarippayattu warriors to treat and prevent their training and combat related injuries. It’s a highly effective treatment for injuries, chronic pain and movement related dysfunctions .It also helps in preventing further degeneration of cartilages and bones and retard the recurrence. Panchakarma chikitsa after kalari massage has given substantial relief for both acute and chronic back pain. Kativasthi is also a popular treatment for back pain in Ayurveda. Here heat is retained in a specific portion of the body using warm medicated oils. A dam is built on the affected area using medicated dough and is filled with herbal oil to a height of 1 to 2 inches and then left to rest for about 45minutes. This procedure helps in relieving pain, tension and swelling and thus rejuvenating your body. These procedures followed in Ayurveda not only relieve your pain but also cleanses the blood and maintain healthy muscles and connective tissue.
