1. Ayurvedic Perspective on Spinal Health

In Ayurveda, the spine is the pillar of the body, supporting Prana (life energy), circulation, and nerve function. Spinal imbalances arise due to:

• Vata aggravation – Causes nerve pain, stiffness, and degeneration.
• Kapha imbalance – Leads to inflammation and restricted mobility.
• Toxin accumulation (Ama) – Results in joint pain, muscle tightness, and fatigue.

Common Conditions Treated

• Back Pain & Sciatica – Nerve compression, disc herniation, posture-related pain.
• Cervical & Lumbar Spondylosis – Degenerative spine issues.
• Nerve Disorders – Numbness, tingling, weakness in limbs.
• Herniated & Bulging Discs – Spinal misalignment and slipped disc.
• Scoliosis & Postural Deformities – Curved spine, uneven shoulders, hip imbalance.
• Joint Stiffness & Restricted Mobility – Due to arthritis, injury, or aging.
