About Dr. Abrol

Back pain rarely appears suddenly - it builds slowly over time as the spine carries the weight of daily life: heavy lifting done incorrectly, long hours sitting, slumped posture ("phone neck," "desk hunch"), sudden falls or twists, weak core muscles, and stress-related muscle tension. The lower back is affected most, carrying close to 80% of the body's weight when bending forward.

In Ayurveda, back pain relates to a Vata dosha imbalance - Vata governs movement, blood flow, and nerve signals, and is thrown off by irregular schedules, poor digestion, cold food and drink, overwork, and inadequate sleep. The resulting condition is described as 'Katigraha' - a gripping, vice-like tightness in the lower back. Weak digestion also allows Ama (toxins) to settle in the lower back, contributing to inflammation and rigidity in the bone tissue (Asthi Dhatu).

Our Treatment Approach

How We Treat Lower Back Pain

Herbal Oils & Massage (Abhyanga)

Warm Mahanarayan Taila massage - the oil must stay warm, since cold oil worsens Vata.

Learn about Abhyangam

Herbal Supplements

Ashwagandha (builds muscle strength and cuts stress), Shallaki/Boswellia (gently reduces swelling), and Guggulu (helps clear toxins and fortifies weak joints).

Kati Vasti

A dough ring is formed on the lower back and filled with warm medicated oil, held for at least 30 minutes.

Basti & Shirodhara

Basti (medicated enema) cleans the colon and balances Vata; Shirodhara (warm oil dripped on the forehead, around 45 minutes) supports the nervous system and overall relaxation.

Diet & Daily Routine

Freshly prepared hot meals with ghee, warm soups, khichdi, and simple grains, sipping warm water through the day; avoiding cold or raw food and skipped meals. Sitting with good posture, moving every 45 minutes, gentle beginner yoga (cobra, child's pose, cat-cow), and a consistent bedtime.

Common Questions

Lower Back Pain - Frequently Asked Questions

Mild, everyday pain often responds within 1–2 weeks; more chronic cases may need a 4–6 week dedicated treatment programme.

Yes - by nourishing depleted tissues, clearing accumulated toxins, and balancing the doshas for long-term stability rather than temporary relief.

Treatment is carried out under qualified doctor supervision, and doses are never self-administered.

Vata is the primary driver for lower back pain, but Pitta (from spicy foods) or Kapha (from heaviness or poor digestion) can also contribute - your dosha mix is assessed for a tailored plan.

Cold, dry, or processed foods such as ice cream, chips, raw salads, and late-night snacks aggravate Vata - warm, oily meals like ghee khichdi help keep things balanced.
