Permanent cure for back pain

Permanent cure for back pain

Nowadays, back pain is on the list of the most common diseases. Back pain, especially back pain, is a chronic condition in which the patient suffers from persistent mild or sharp back pain. The pain can also be accompanied by stiffness, burning, tingling and numbness. If you are looking for the best cure for this pain, Ayurveda is the answer. Let's take a look at the causes and treatment methods of lower back pain in Ayurveda.

Causes

Back pain is most often the result of poor posture. With a balanced posture, you can reduce the strain on your back because correct posture keeps the bones, muscles and other parts of the body in the natural position.

Maintaining an abnormal sitting position for several hours may injure your spinal curve or cause you to pull muscles. This can lead to muscle contractions, which can cause pain.

Other conditions that can cause back pain include spinal stenosis, scoliosis and osteoporosis. Additionally, a strain or sprain of the ligaments or muscles in your back can also cause pain.

When the tissue around your spine suffers from prolonged stress or the tissue is damaged by a hard blow, back pain can occur. A sedentary lifestyle is another common cause.

Treatment methods

Traditional treatment for lower back pain includes the use of medication and surgical procedures. These treatments do not work in all cases because most people do not experience back pain from an injury. Instead, pain is the body and mind's response to an underlying condition.

According to Ayurveda, back pain occurs due to the vitiation of one of the three main doshas. The back pain is an indicator of bone/muscle weakness and vata aggravation.

Ayurvedic treatments

In Ayurveda, the treatment of most diseases and conditions involves balancing the three doshas. In Ayurveda hospitals, both internal and external treatments are used to help patients get rid of the back pain. Herbal material like Asthavargam is given to the patients. Apart from this, daily cleansing is also used to “repair” the faulty doshas.

Abhyanga, an Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment method, requires oil massage. Also, Basti is very helpful in relieving pain and correcting abnormalities. If you want to use Ayurvedic herbal medicine, you can opt for Mahanarayana Tailam, Triphala Guggul, Lakshadiguggul and Yogarajagugul to name a few.

Yogasana for back pain

Sometimes back pain occurs when you exercise beyond your emotional or physical capabilities. Your spine should be stable. For spinal stability, your mind should be calm.

Your first step is to train your mind to relax, then focus on the areas of the back that hurt. With a little daily practice, you can easily redirect your mind's energy to relieve the pain.

As for yogasanas, you can try simple backbends like Sunbird, Cat and Locust. You can also try Hero Pose to realign your spine.
