Back Pain Treatment

Low back pain is one of the leading causes of reduced mobility and work absenteeism worldwide, creating a significant impact on individuals, families, and healthcare systems. Studies estimate that nearly 70% of people experience low back pain at some point in their lives.

In Ayurveda, low back pain is understood through classical concepts such as Katishoola (general low back pain), Kati Graha (stiffness and contraction in the lumbar region), Trika Shoola (sacral pain), and Gridhrasi (sciatica-like pain radiating down the leg). This perspective allows for targeted, root-cause healing rather than just temporary symptom relief.

At Atharva Ayurveda Clinic, we offer holistic and personalized treatments to address low back pain effectively. Our protocols are based on Vatasaya Upakrama (therapies that pacify Vata) and Vatavyadhi Chikitsa (management of Vata-related disorders). Treatments include specialized Panchakarma therapies such as:

• Kashaya Vasti – medicated decoction enemas for spinal nourishment

• Matra Vasti – gentle oil-based enemas to lubricate joints and tissues

• Snehana (Oleation Therapy) – deep tissue oil massage to reduce stiffness

• Swedana (Fomentation Therapy) – steam therapy to relax muscles

• Abhyanga (Medicated Oil Massage) – full-body massage promoting circulation and healing

Each therapy is customized to the individual’s constitution and condition, ensuring maximum relief, improved mobility, and long-term wellness.
