In Ayurveda, spinal disorders are linked to Asthi Dhatu (bone tissue), Majja Dhatu (nervous tissue), and Vata dosha, which governs movement and nerve conduction. Imbalance in Vata leads to degeneration, dryness, and nerve compression, causing pain and restricted mobility. Ama (toxins) accumulation further blocks Srotas (channels), aggravating inflammation and stiffness. Causes:​- Poor Posture: Prolonged sitting or incorrect posture strains the spine. Aging: Degeneration of Asthi and Majja Dhatu increases Vata. Injury or Trauma: Leads to fractures, disc herniation, or nerve compression. Sedentary Lifestyle: Weakens muscles and ligaments supporting the spine. Nutritional Deficiencies: Lack of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Stress and Overexertion: Causes muscular tension and spinal misalignment. Symptoms:​- Lower Back Pain (Katigraha): Stiffness, pain, and restricted movement. Sciatica (Gridhrasi): Radiating pain, numbness, and tingling along the leg. Slipped Disc (Asthi Kshaya): Sharp pain, weakness, and nerve compression. Spondylitis (Manyastambha): Neck stiffness, headaches, and nerve irritation. Spinal Arthritis: Chronic inflammation and reduced flexibility. Panchakarma Treatments:​- Kati Basti (Oil Pool Therapy): Relieves lower back pain and nourishes tissues. Snehan (Oleation) & Swedana (Sudation): Lubricates joints and reduces stiffness. Basti (Medicated Enema): Pacifies Vata and improves nerve function. Pizhichil (Oil Bath): Strengthens muscles and reduces inflammation. ​ Patra Pinda Sweda (Herbal Pouch Therapy): Relieves muscle spasms and improves circulation. Ayurveda treats spinal disorders holistically through Panchakarma, herbal therapies, and lifestyle modifications to restore mobility and strength.​
