Back Pain Management

Back Pain Management

Back Pain Management Therapy is a combination of treatments designed to relieve back pain, improve mobility, and prevent future discomfort.
It can include Ayurvedic, physiotherapy, chiropractic, and massage-based approaches, depending on the cause of pain.
The therapy focuses on reducing muscle tension, correcting posture, improving spinal alignment, and supporting long-term back health.
It is used for conditions such as muscle strain, slipped disc, sciatica, arthritis, postural issues, and stress-related back pain.

Types of Back Pain Management

  1. Ayurvedic Therapies – Such as Kati Basti (oil pooling over lower back), Abhyanga (oil massage), and Pizhichil (oil bath).

  2. Physiotherapy – Strengthening, stretching, and posture correction exercises.

  3. Spinal Manipulation – Gentle adjustments to align the spine.

  4. Heat and Cold Therapy – Improves blood flow and reduces inflammation.
