“AYURVEDIC ORTHOPEDICS”
Ayurveda is a science of life, based on the concept of Dosha Siddhanta. The Doshas are Vata , Pitta & Kapha. The equilibrium of these three Doshas is called as health and their disturbance is called as disease. Based on the milestones of life, Kapha is predominant in childhood, Pitta in middle age and Vata during old age. With the advancement of age Vata Dosha increases in an individual. This increasing Vata triggers and accelerates Dhatukshaya (depletion of tissues) and balakshaya (reduction of strength). Hence with advancing age man becomes prone to several diseases including degenerative disorders. Sandhigata Vata manifests when the deranged Vata lodges in joints. This condition when manifests in the janu sandhi (knee joint), it is called as janusanshigatavata(osteoarthritis of knee), similarly deranged Vata when lodges in the vankshana (Hip) vankshanasandhigatavata (hip arthritis), deranged Vata which lodges in the vertebral column causes degenerative disc disease, facet joint arthritis, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, sciatica, lordosis, scoliosis, kyphosis etc. Ayurveda has very effective treatment for all the above orthopedic problems, including frozen shoulder, Supraspinatus tendinitis, shoulder impingement, teno synovitis of hip, wrist, ankle etc, ankle sprains, ligaments injuries of knee & ankle, plantar fasciitis, post-operative stiffness of joints & all kinds of rheumatic disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, gouty arthritis etc. All these ailments have high rate of success through Ayurveda treatment.
