Back pain can arise when you lift something heavy, or if you are suffering from more serious
degenerative conditions like arthritis and the symptoms of back pain vary from sharp, stabbing sensation
to dull ache. People
with desk jobs have a lifestyle of spending hours working on computers continuously whereas watching TV,
mobile phones and sleeping in the wrong posture can also cause back pain which can last for weeks.
Our spine is composed of Muscles, bones, vertebrae, nerves, discs, ligaments etc., back pain can be
associated to the issues between any of these components in our back like discs between vertebrae, muscles
or ligaments in our back. Let us take an example
of Disc bulge:
When the disc between two vertebrae is inflamed, it starts swelling and then start
protruding out of the socket. Now, there is nerve underlining the socket which gets pressed
due to the swelling of discs and there is pain in the back due to the disc inflammation, strain on the
vertebrae and a radiating pain due to the pinching of the nerves.
Most of the patients visiting Sreeragam Ayurveda Health retreat for back pain treatment are suffering with
chronic back pain and they carry their previous reports, prescriptions etc. with them. There are patients
who come with just complaints and identifying
their condition is what’s best about the back pain treatment at Sreeragam Ayurveda Health
retreat.
We at Sreeragam Ayurveda Health retreat, review the history of the illness, underlying
medical condition and perform physical examination to diagnose the root cause of the patient’s
problem. Routine abdominal examination, pelvic and rectal examination, blood and urine tests, X ray, CT
scan or MRI scanning
are done to find out probable reason for back pain.
These steps are important to understand whether
there is any inflammation at the affected site, the back pain is caused due to an injury or it is a
symptom of a degenerative
condition. Hypothesis of disease are excluded after analysing the current condition and past history of
illness, finally,
our doctors
can conclude for the root cause of the back pain and plan the
best back pain treatment for the patients.
According to modern medicine, Back pain treatment in acute cases
is performed through over the counter non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce pain and inflammation. These
medicine only masks the symptoms whereas the cause of the pain
remains unidentified which is why the chances of reoccurrence
are very high. At the same time, NSAIDs administered for the
chronic cases of back pain can cause kidney dysfunction, ulcers,
gastrointestinal problems whereas in some patients they can
increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Prescription opioids are used in chronic cases to relieve back
pain, but they are addictive, cause drowsiness, impaired
judgement and can aggravate depression. In sciatica and other
associated complaints, epidural steroid injection is
administered to provide back pain relief. Long-term use of these
steroids can cause structural changes in body, heart attack,
liver impairment etc. Sometimes instead of steroid,
surgery is recommended to the patients which can take months
before the patient is healed and may lead to permanent loss of
flexibility. The success rate of surgical procedures is
unpredictable and there is little evidence to which procedure
works best for a particular indication.
On the other hand, Ayurveda has attained global attention
because of its holistic approach for Musculo-skeletal pain
treatments which focuses on lifestyle leading to overall health.
Herbal ayurvedic medicine for back pain is given to support the
treatment internally whereas decoctions, herbal oil etc. are
applied externally to provide local support to the back leading
to fast back pain relief.
External treatments such as podikizhi, Abhyanga, Elakizhi, Vasthi etc. are best for detoxification, providing nourishment to the spine and improving the functionality of the muscles, nerves all around the body.
