If you are experiencing low back pain, you are
not alone. More than 65 million people suffer
from low back pain every year. Back aches are
the most common reason for doctor visits, after
cold and flu symptoms. Fifty percent of all
patients who suffer from an episode of low back
pain will have another occurrence within one
year. the vast majority of cases back pain is
caused by the irritation of a nerve root near
the spine, not by problems with the muscles,
ligament or bone. A nerve that travels from the
spinal cord through the openings between the
bones of the spine gets pinched or irritated,
the surrounding muscles tense up and the patient
experiences low back pain.
The causes of more
than 80 percent of back pain cases are unknown.
Some people have damaged or bulging discs but
feel fine. Researchers do know that back pain
often begins with an injury, after lifting a
heavy object or moving suddenly. People who do
not exercise regularly face an increased risk
for back pain, as do obese people. Sciatica can
be caused by blood clots, tumors and abscesses.
Arthritic back pain can be the result of
infections such as Lyme disease and viral
arthritis.
Holistic Perspective
Due to the improper sitting
or standing posture, lifting heavy objects and
by doing more strenuous works the vata in the
body gets vitiated and gets lodged in the lower
back leading to diseases of the lower back.
The causative emotions
associated with this disease are many including
a low level of tolerance, feeling totally
unsupported by life, low self esteem ,a sense of
pressure from all sides, and inability to bounce
back.
Approach Followed by Ojas:
At Ojas through Vata anulomana Kriya, Sneha
Vardhanam, Medo Poshanam, Ruksha Nivaranam and
other supportive treatment programmes, the
normal functioning of apana vata is restored
leading to robust and integrated functioning of
mamsa, medas and asthi dhatu. This unique
approach of Ojas takes care of the need of the
body and the mind addressing the root cause of
low backache at various levels. The vata
reducing treatments helps to increase the medo
dhatu of the body and brings in the snigdhata
which is lost.
