Back pain is a common condition that can affect people of all ages, caused by poor posture, long hours of sitting or standing, heavy lifting, injuries, or stress. It can lead to stiffness, muscle tension, restricted movement, and discomfort in daily activities.
In Ayurveda, back pain is often linked to an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which governs movement and the nervous system. When Vata is aggravated, it causes dryness, inflammation, and weakness in the muscles and spinal region, leading to persistent pain.
Dr. Padmasiri Udugama’s Ayurvedic treatments focus on alleviating back pain through natural therapies such as medicated oil massages (Abhyanga), herbal compress therapy (Pinda Sweda), and herbal medicines that reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and strengthen the back muscles. These treatments provide relief from pain, improve flexibility, and support long-term spinal health.
