The Ayurvedic perspective

How Ayurveda understands tennis elbow.

Tennis elbow involves local vata-pitta aggravation at the tendon attachment site. Vata causes tendon degeneration; pitta drives the inflammatory response. Treatment combines Kurpara marma stimulation with cooling herbal bandaging and internal anti-inflammatory formulations.

Treatment at AVK

How Dr. Akshata Shetty treats tennis elbow.

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

01
Marma Point Stimulation

Calibrated stimulation of the Kurpara and Ani marma points to relieve tendon tension and restore circulation to the elbow.

02
Herbal Bandaging

Cooling, anti-inflammatory pastes and medicated oils (such as Murivenna) applied over the elbow and secured with therapeutic bandages to heal the damaged tendon.

03
Medicinal Formulations

Internal medicines with anti-inflammatory and tissue-healing herbs to support recovery from within.

04
Lifestyle & Dietary Guidance

Ergonomic correction, forearm-strengthening exercises and pitta-pacifying diet.
