Ayurvedic Treatment for Low Back Ache

Vata predomince is seen in Kadeegraham (Low back pain). From wrong postures, prolapsed, herniated disk or bulge of the intervertebral disk, sprain in muscle or ligament, inflammation of the pelvic joints, chronic constipation, arthritis of the spine to sciatica, etc., any of these can cause either a sudden or gradual onset of low back ache.

Oral medication and treatments like kadeevasti, Snehadhara, Dhanyamla dhara, pathrapotala swedam, and vasthi(Herbal enemas) help to alleviate the vitiated Vata. Select Yoga postures are also helpful for strengthening the spine.
