What is

Ayurvedic Treatment for Back Pain?

Back pain is one of the most common health problems today. For some people it settles with rest, while for others it stays for a long time and needs proper care. Ayurvedic treatment for back pain is a natural, holistic approach that looks at the imbalance behind the discomfort. Ayurveda traditionally links back pain with an imbalance of the doshas (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), and uses herbal oils, massage therapies and lifestyle guidance to support warmth, relaxation and ease of movement.

Back pain is a symptom, not a disease, so it is important to find the cause with your doctor. Your treatment plan is determined after consultation with an Ayurvedic physician, according to your constitution (dosha), health condition and wellness goals.
