The Ayurvedic perspective

How Ayurveda understands low back pain.

Known as Katigraha or Katishoola in Ayurveda, low back pain is a classic vata disorder. The dryness, roughness and mobility of aggravated vata lead to degeneration and pain in the lumbar spine. Treatment focuses on stimulating the Kati marma, nourishing tissues through medicated herbal bandaging and pacifying vata from within.

Treatment at AVK

How Dr. Akshata Shetty treats low back pain.

Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.

01
Marma Point Stimulation

Precise, calibrated stimulation of the Kati, Katikataruna and Kukundara marma points to release deep muscular tension, restore circulation and re-awaken the lumbar region's natural healing response.

02
Herbal Bandaging

Medicated pastes, oils and decoctions applied over the lumbar region and secured with therapeutic bandages — allowing anti-inflammatory and tissue-nourishing herbs to penetrate deeply over time.

03
Medicinal Formulations

Internal herbal and mineral preparations selected for their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and regenerative properties — tailored to your constitution and the severity of the condition.

04
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance

Posture correction, targeted asanas, vata-pacifying diet and a simple daily routine (dinacharya) designed to support and sustain the clinical treatment.
