Ayurveda for Low Back Pain

Four out of five adults experience significant low back pain (http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-

healthy/6660-exercises-to-strengthen-your-back.html) during their lifetime.

Low back pain often begins suddenly, and may follow an obvious strain or injury, but may seem to come on

‘out of the blue’, or gradually. The pain may travel to or be felt elsewhere. It often goes into the buttocks, but

may go further down the leg and even to the foot. The muscles of the back may go into painful spasm.

Low back pain can be caused by a number of factors from injuries to the effects of aging.

1. Back pain associated with nerve root pain; the commonest causes are intervertebral disc prolapse and

compression of nerve roots within the neural canals.

2. Back pain found in association with spinal pathology such as vertebral infections, tumors, ankylosing

spondylitis, poly arthritis, Paget’s disease and primary neurological disease.

3. Back pain caused by disturbance of mechanics of the spine. eg: osteoporotic spinal fractures, senile

kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, spinal osteochondrosis, and sometimes osteoarthritis.

4. In other cases, although the symptoms may be identical in character, the cause can’t be determined with

accuracy; these cases of back pain attracted many emotive names such as lumbago, low back strain etc.

Management of Low Back Pain

The ayurvedic treatments are much personalized and it varies according to the root cause. The causes are

determined by taking history, physical examination, laboratory tests, radiographic evaluation, MRI, CT, Bone

Two Common Health Problems of Office Workers

1. Tension build-ups

In air conditioned or closed indoors sufficient oxygen is not pumped into your bloodstream.In an office atmosphere many emotions are released and more often controlled. This control of emotion leads to emotional stress and this leads to tension buildup.Builds tension when persons are under deadline stress or have a feeling of job insecurity, then the anxiety stress leads to tension buildup.In the office jobs natural movements are restricted and movements, which the body parts are unused to, are forced to perform continuously.

Tension buildup resulting from the above has its effect without our knowledge on various parts of our body.

Tension build up results in muscles becoming tensed, sore and tender. The shoulder, neck and upper back are

the main tension collecting areas of tension for most people.

2. Repetitive strain injury (RSI)

Sometimes called occupational overuse syndrome, is a growing problem among office workers. Because the

office jobs involve small, repetitive movements all the day. RSI in the wrist, for example, often results from

holding the arm still and moving the mouse using only your wrist. It's much better to move your arm, and keep

the wrist relatively still. This can transfer strain to the upper arm and spine.

Some Solutions

Don’t think that there is a perfect working position, the human body is designed to move, not to sit still. So it's

important to make sure that you constantly use different parts of the body.

Breathing is very important too. Try to breathe from the abdomen not the chest. Breathe by allowing the

stomach to expand instead. With practice it feels natural and it has much wider health benefits as well.

It is simply not possible to use a keyboard for sixty hours a week without damaging your health, so try and find

ways of getting away from the computer anyway. Write something longhand - fax a handwritten note to

people from time to time instead of sending an e-mail.

Posture

Use a foot rest so that your legs are supported

Keep the back comfortably straight (http://www.mensxp.com/health/live-healthy/6012-exercise-without-

leaving-your-bed.html) - in particular try not to let the lower back sag or the head stay bent forward

Make sure your forearms are roughly horizontal so that the desk supports them

Use the whole body more - don't allow movements to become too focused

Stretch regularly

Equipment

Don't tolerate a small or blurry screen

Replace your mouse at the first sign of wear

Change the relative positions of keyboard and screen regularly. For example, look left in the morning and right

in the afternoon

Get a telephone headset if you're on the phone a lot. You'll be amazed how relaxing it is

Eye-to-screen distance: at least 25", preferably more.

Vertical location: viewing area of the monitor between 15�� and 50�� below horizontal eye level.

Monitor tilt: top of the monitor slightly farther from the eyes than the bottom of the monitor.

Lighting: ceiling suspended indirect lighting. Use blinds and shades to control outside light.

Screen colors: dark letters on a light background.

This buildup of tension can be reduced by a few simple tension-relieving yoga (exercise):

�� Shoulder Circling

Sit on an armless chair or stool letting the hands hang loosely at your sides. Slowly move your shoulder

forward in circular manner and repeat the same in a slow backward circular motion. Let your arms be free

http://www.mensxp.com/health/body-building/6961-exercises-to-minimise-back-pain.html and easy.

�� Shoulder Lift & squeeze

Sit with straight back with arms hang loosely at the sides. While inhaling slowly draw your shoulders upwards

towards your ear. Exhale and squeeze the shoulder blades and lower the shoulders.

�� Shoulder Blade squeeze

Clasp your hands behind you at normal sitting posture with the back straight. Inhale and draw straightened

elbows towards each other squeezing your shoulder blades together.

�� Neck- stretching

Neck muscles hold up the heaviest part of the body the head right through the day from the time we wake up

till we go to sleep. Head turning in different directions; up, down, left, right, diagonal are best stretching for

neck.

�� Upper back stretching

Sit and interlace your fingers in front of you with your palms facing your knees. As you inhale push the palms

away from you to above your head so that your palms are now facing the ceiling. While exhaling lower your

arms to the start position.

�� Chest expansion

Raise your arms sideways to shoulder levels. Exhale when forming fists with your hands and push your arms

backward so as to create a light squeezing of the shoulder blade and shoulder muscle. Exhale as you bring

your arms back to start position.

Low back pain can be said goodbye provided one sticks to Ayurveda and follow the above mentioned tips.

Michael StrokesFor many years I have suffered from severe back pain that sometimes i could notmove. I practiced judo for more than 8 years and back pain took me from all kinds ofphysical activity. A year ago, my pains have disappeared thanks to this allnaturaltreatment that I found online, where anyone can make at home. At least that curedme completely. I hope it works for you as it did me. backpainrelief4life.comLike · Reply · Jul 17, 2015 4:36am
