Ayurvedic treatment for back pain has positive reports from any survey as the treatment line is customized according to the body chemistry and type of response. According to Ayurveda, poor posture habits and lifestyle disorders and erratic eating habits are all associated with back pain and the mode of treatment is decided after assessing the person’s habits and living condition and type of work done. On a detailed analysis the body type is assessed and only then the doctor decides on the treatment plan. Most of the body disorders are caused by a vitiation of the three principal ‘doshas’ and correcting this along with identifying the root cause of the pain is the key to curing the pain. Most of the medicines work on subsiding the symptoms associated with a condition but it is essential that the root cause of the symptoms must be identified and Ayurveda works by finding the cause and treating and correcting this cause and then moving on to eliminating the disease in its entity. If the pain is due to an underlying disease then this is brought to surface, identified and cured for. Sometimes, if bone and muscle weakness is the causative agents then these conditions are corrected with medicines. Medicated oil massages which will be performed by experts who have trained knowledge of the nerves, bones and muscles and their functioning as certain pressure points are to be managed with caution as they govern the balance of the body. For most of the cases, Panchakarma is performed as a prelude to other treatment options because this will ensure that the body is first cleansed and the state of equilibrium is regained.
