Ayurveda Treatment for Non-Union Fracture After Surgery
Bone fractures usually heal within a few months. But sometimes, even after surgery, the bone does not join properly. This condition is known as a non-union fracture. Patients may suffer from long-lasting pain, weakness, and difficulty in movement and are often advised repeat surgery.
At Ayushkamiya Ayurveda, we offer a time-tested and holistic Ayurvedic treatment for non-union fractures, based on traditional knowledge passed down through generations, helping the body restart its natural bone-healing process.
What Is a Non-Union Fracture?
A non-union fracture occurs when a broken bone fails to heal even after several months following surgery or other treatments.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent pain at the fracture site
Difficulty walking or using the affected limb
Swelling or instability
X-ray showing poor or no bone healing
Causes of Non-Union Fracture After Surgery
(Modern Medical View + Ayurvedic Understanding)
Common Medical Causes:
Poor blood circulation to the fractured bone
Weak bones or calcium deficiency
Infection after surgery
Diabetes and hormonal imbalance
Smoking and alcohol consumption
Excess movement or early weight-bearing
Ayurvedic View on Causes:
According to Ayurveda, bone tissue is called Asthi Dhatu, and its healing depends on proper digestion, nutrition, and balance of Vata dosha.
After injury :
Vata dosha increases, causing dryness, pain, and delayed healing
Weak digestion (low Agni) leads to poor nourishment of bones
Blockage in body channels (Srotas) reduces blood and nutrient supply to the fracture area
Weak Asthi Dhatu results in delayed or failed bone union
How Ayurveda Helps in Bone Healing
Ayurvedic treatment works by:
Nourishing bones from within
Improving circulation to the fracture site
Reducing pain, dryness, and stiffness
Supporting natural callus (bone tissue) formation
