Recent research studies have revealed that almost 80 percent of people suffer from some type of lower back pain and sciatica during their lifetime. Among the most vulnerable are people who work in an office environment, housewives, and elderly people. There can be various causes for lower back pain and sciatica, but the most common reasons are poor nutrition, sedentary lifestyle and stress. As per Ayurveda, these factors create imbalance among the biological forces of life - Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurvedic treatment for lower back pain and sciatica aims to achieve balance among the life forces, which in turn provides long-term relief to the patient.

What causes lower back pain and sciatica?

As per Ayurveda, lower back pain and sciatica are caused due to imbalance in the Vata dosha. Vata performs various functions in body such as breathing, elimination of waste, movement of thoughts, blood flow, etc. Vata works like wind and it is present in the areas neighboring the lower back. It is present in the colon, pelvis and lumbosacral region. In these areas, it performs various functions such as movement of thighs, hips, and the lower back. It is also responsible for excretory processessuch as menstruation, urine and feces.

Ayurvedic treatment for lower back pain and sciatica

Ayurvedic treatment for lower back pain and sciatica is based on a holistic approach, which seeks to achieve balance in the Vata Dosha. Here are some of the most commonly used Ayurvedic treatments for lower back pain and sciatica.

Kati Basti: In this therapy, the patient is asked to lie down on his stomach, with the hands placed by their side. Next, flour dough is used to create a reservoir on the lower back. The reservoir is filled with warm oil, which increases blood circulation and soothes the surrounding muscles, nerves and tissues. The oil is consistently replaced as it cools down. Kati Basti removes stiffness, improves movement, and provides relief from pain. Regular Kati Basti Ayurvedic treatment can provide long-term relief to people suffering from lower back pain and sciatica.

Ayurveda massage: A full body Ayurveda massage is useful in releasing the tension in the muscles surrounding the lower back. Ayurveda massage is performed using medicinal oils and herbs, which seep through the skin and provide relief from pain and discomfort. A steam bath is often recommended after Ayurveda massage, as it further relaxes and soothes the muscles. The steam bath may be localized or it can be for the entire body, depending on the condition of the patient.

Therapeutic Enema: Using specialmedicinal oils and herbs, a therapeutic enema for the colon can be performed. This helps remove excess Vata that may be trapped in the pelvic region. The medicinal constituents of the herbs are also better absorbed through the colon, which speeds up the process of healing. This is because therapeutic enema through the colon bypasses the standard process of metabolism through the liver. Herbal medications are more potent when they are delivered directly through the colon, as compared to oral consumption.

Ayurveda also recommends lifestyle changes for long-lasting relief from lower back pain and sciatica. Regular exercise, eating healthy food, and learning the right way to sit and stand upright are some of the key things that patients need to follow. Patients can also learn yoga postures that provide relief from lower back pain and sciatica.
