Lower back pain / Sciatica

Lower back pain and sciatica are effectively treated with Ayurvedic Kati Basti, Basti therapy, and herbal formulations that reduce nerve inflammation and strengthen spinal muscles.

Lower Back Pain & Sciatica Treatment

Lower back pain affects nearly everyone at some point. Sciatica — radiating pain down the leg from a compressed sciatic nerve — can be particularly debilitating and resistant to conventional treatment.

Ayurvedic Perspective

Lower back pain (Kati Shoola) and Sciatica (Gridhrasi) are classic Vata disorders. Disc degeneration, nerve compression, and muscle spasm all involve Vata aggravation in the lumbar spine.

Treatment Protocol

Kati Basti (warm oil pooling on lower back), Basti (medicated enemas — the gold standard for Vata), Pinda Sweda, Agnikarma for stubborn pain, and spinal strengthening exercises form our comprehensive approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How effective is Ayurveda for sciatica?
Ayurveda has excellent outcomes for sciatica. Basti therapy (medicated enemas) combined with Kati Basti and internal medicines provides relief in 70-80% of cases.
Can I avoid back surgery with Ayurvedic treatment?
Many patients with disc bulges and mild-moderate herniations find sufficient relief with Ayurveda to avoid surgery. However, severe cases with neurological deficit may still require surgical intervention.
