Lower back pain, or lumbar back pain, is a challenge many people face, often caused by issues such as herniated discs, aging, injuries, or lifestyle habits. This pain can make even simple activities feel difficult. At Kesavatheeram Ayurveda Hospital, we combine the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern techniques to help you overcome lumbar back pain, address herniated disc concerns, and reclaim your quality of life.
What Causes Lumbar Back Pain?
The lumbar spine, located in the lower back, supports the weight of your body and aids in movement.This constant demand makes it vulnerable to stress, injury, and various risk factors. Common causes of lumbar spine pain include herniated discs, aging, poor posture, sedentary lifestyle, and previous injuries.
- Poor Posture: Slouching while sitting or standing strains the lower back.
- Aging: As we grow older, the spine naturally degenerates, which can lead to conditions like lumbar disc herniation or degenerative disc disease.
- Injuries: Accidents or overexertion can damage spinal discs or muscles.
- Obesity: Extra weight puts more pressure on the spine, leading to pain.
Symptoms often include persistent lower back pain, radiating leg pain (sciatic nerve), numbness, tingling, or even muscle weakness in the lower body.
Ayurveda’s Holistic Approach
Unlike treatments that focus solely on masking symptoms, Ayurveda addresses the root cause of lumbar back pain. In Ayurveda, an imbalance in the Vata dosha, which regulates movement in the body, often causes pain. Restoring this balance helps relieve pain, improve flexibility, and prevent recurrence.
At Kesavatheeram, we’ve developed a unique approach that combines Ayurveda’s time-tested methods with insights into modern spinal care.
