Low Back Pain is More Than Just Pain
In today’s digital era, prolonged sitting, improper posture, continuous driving, stress, and lack of physical activity have made low back pain one of the most common health problems among working professionals.
Many patients temporarily control pain with painkillers or physiotherapy, but the pain often returns because the underlying cause remains untreated.
According to Ayurveda, most chronic low back pain falls under Katigraha or Vata Vyadhi, where aggravated Vata Dosha affects muscles, ligaments, joints and nerves. Panchakarma aims to reduce pain while restoring balance and improving function. Clinical studies have reported improvements in pain, stiffness and mobility with herapies such as Kati Basti and Basti Karma when used in appropriately selected patients.
