How to Reduce Back Pain with Ayurvedic Treatments At Sanjeevani Ayurveda



Myself Dr. Geeta Patil from Sanjeevani Ayurveda Clinic, where I often see patients seeking solutions for back pain. Hence, I thought discussing the Ayurvedic perspective on this condition could provide valuable insights for those looking to find relief from chronic discomfort.

Understanding Back Pain
Back pain, also known as Kati Shool, is very common today, affecting both adults and young people. sitting Jobs, bad postures, lifting something heavy , lack of regular exercise and using gadgets too much have made back and neck pain more common. According to Ayurveda, back pain happens because of bad sitting habits, too much physical strain, injuries, and when the *Vata dosha* (a type of bio-energy controlling movement and nerve impulses) is out of balance.

When Vata is imbalanced, it affects the tissues, muscles, and joints of the back, causing anything from a small ache to very strong and sudden pain or long-lasting chronic pain.

Causes of Back Pain

Poor Sitting Habits: Bad sitting postures, especially for extended periods, can strain the muscles and lead to back pain.

Muscle Strains: Overexertion, sudden movements, or lifting heavy objects improperly can cause strains in the muscles of the back, resulting in pain.

Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for long hours without breaks, whether at a desk or during long drives, can contribute to back pain.

Underlying Medical Conditions: Conditions such as herniated discs, arthritis can be underlying causes of chronic back pain.

Obesity: Carrying excess body weight, especially around the midsection, puts additional stress on the spine and can contribute to back pain.

Lack of Physical Activity: Inactivity or a sedentary lifestyle can weaken the back muscles, making them more susceptible to pain and discomfort.

Stress and Mental Health: Emotional stress and mental health issues can manifest physically, contributing to muscle tension and back pain.

Age-Related Changes: As we age, the spine undergoes natural degenerative changes, such as disc wear and tear, which can lead to back pain.

Smoking: Smoking has been linked to lower back pain, possibly due to reduced blood flow to the spine and decreased nutrient supply.


Ayurvedic Approach to Healing Back Pain
The Ayurvedic approach to back pain is holistic, involving Vata pacification, reducing inflammation, nourishing and rejuvenating back muscles and tissues, strengthening and protecting the spine, and improving posture and body mechanics through exercises, yoga, and lifestyle changes.

Ayurvedic Benefits of Pindasweda and Abhyanga for Back Pain


Abhyanga(Ayurvedic Oil Massage)
Abhyanga is a gentle back massage using special oils such as mahanaryana taila, kottamchukadi taila, dhanwantaram taila, etc. It can help relieve pain and stiffness, as well relax muscles of the back in just three to seven days when combination of therapies are done.

Pinda Sweada(Herbal Pouch Massage)
Pinda Sweda, or herbal pouch massage, involves wrapping processed herbs in a cloth. After a light oil massage or Abhyanga, it's applied to address issues in bones, muscles, and nerves. This warm herbal pouch therapy reduces inflammation, eases muscle tension, and promotes healing—making it an excellent choice for targeted relief from back pain.
