Causes of back pain

Back pain can occur due to multiple factors stated below:

  • Muscular or soft tissue strain or sprain: This can occur due to overuse, injury or poor posture.
  • Herniated disc: A herniated disc occurs when the soft centre of a spinal disc bulges out through a crack in the disc’s tough outer layer.
  • Degenerative disc disease: As we age, the discs in our spine can dry out and shrink, leading to pain and stiffness.
  • Spinal stenosis: Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
  • Osteoarthritis: The wear and tear on the joints of the spine can cause them to become stiff and painful.
  • Sciatica: Sciatica is the pain that radiates down the sciatic nerve track, which runs from the lower back to the legs.
  • Scoliosis: Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine curves to one side.
  • Fibromyalgia: A condition characterized by widespread pain and tenderness in the muscles and soft tissues.
  • Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression.
  • It is always best to consult with a doctor to determine the specific cause of your back pain and the best course of treatment.

Symptoms of back pain

Symptoms of back pain can vary depending on the cause, but some common symptoms are:

  • Aching or stiffness in the lower, middle, or upper back.
  • Sharp or shooting pain that may radiate down the legs.
  • Limited range of motion or difficulty bending or twisting.
  • Muscular spasms or cramping.
  • Tingling or numbness in the legs or feet.
  • Weakness or fatigue in the legs or feet.
  • Difficulty standing or walking for prolonged periods.
  • Trouble sleeping due to pain.

It is important to note that back pain can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as a tumour or infection. If you experience any of the following symptoms, seek medical attention right away:

  • Sudden, severe back pain
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Numbness or tingling around the genitals or anus
  • Fever or chills
  • Unexplained weight loss

Again, it is essential to consult with a doctor to determine the specific cause of your back pain and the best course of treatment.

Ayurveda and back pain

Ayurveda is a traditional system of medicine that originated in India. It seeks to balance the energy, or doshas, to promote overall health and well-being.

In Ayurveda, back pain occurs due to an imbalance in the vata dosha, which is associated with movement, dryness, and lightness. Ayurvedic treatments for back pain may include:

  • Ayurvedic Massage: Ayurvedic massage, also known as abhyanga, can help relieve pain and stiffness in the back.
  • Ayurvedic and Herbal medicines: Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend ayurvedic herbal medicines and herbs such as turmeric, ginger, and ashwagandha to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
  • Yoga and exercise: Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of regular exercise and yoga to strengthen the back and improve flexibility.
  • Diet and lifestyle modifications: Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend diet and lifestyle modifications to help balance the doshas and reduce back pain.
  • Panchakarma: Panchakarma is a set of five Ayurvedic techniques used to cleanse the body and balance the vitiated doshas. Panchkarma is a powerful method to bring about healing in the body. Panchkarma should be done strictly under the supervision of an Ayurvedic practitioner.
