Back pain is one of the most common lifestyle-related health problems today, affecting people of all age groups. Long hours of sitting, poor posture, stress, lack of physical activity, improper food habits, and inadequate rest contribute significantly to spinal disorders.
Modern medical management mainly focuses on painkillers, physiotherapy, or surgery, which often provide temporary relief.
At Ayushkamiya Ayurveda, back pain is treated by addressing the root cause such as Vata imbalance, poor digestion (Agni), toxin accumulation (Ama), and degeneration of tissues helping achieve long-lasting and sustainable recovery.
Causes of Back Pain According to Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, back pain is described as Katishoola (low back pain) and Prishta Shoola (upper or generalized back pain). These conditions are predominantly caused by Vata Dosha imbalance.
Common Ayurvedic causes include:
Prolonged sitting or improper posture
Excessive physical exertion or sudden injury
Weak digestive fire (Mandagni) leading to Ama
Age-related increase in Vata Dosha
Suppression of natural urges
Weakness of muscles, bones, and nerves (Mamsa, Asthi, Majja Dhatu)
Back pain often involves disturbance in Asthivaha Srotas (bone channels) and Majjavaha Srotas (nerve channels), resulting in pain, stiffness, or radiating symptoms.
