Disorders that impact your musculoskeletal system which includes your muscles, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, etc are referred to as musculoskeletal disorders. Pain, mobility restrictions, and decreased functional capacity can all be brought on by musculoskeletal problems. It may also make it harder for someone to work.

Musculoskeletal problems can range in severity. They occasionally have the ability to cause pain and discomfort that makes it difficult to go about regular tasks.

Our blend of therapies for treating muscle pain is specific to each patient’s constitution and condition at Madukkakuzhy Ayurveda Treatment Centre.

The buildup of doshas in the neck region caused by contributing factors impairs the doshas and results in neck pain. The dosha preponderance in the region affects the pain symptoms. For instance, stiffness in the neck is typically noticed when Kapha dosha is dominant. In contrast, patients with dominant Pitta dosha may feel as though they are burning, and patients with dominant Vata dosha frequently report feeling numb or in severe pain.

The application of particular herbs with anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities is part of the Muscle Pain Ayurvedic Treatment regimen in addition to these treatments. Herbs including ashwagandha, Guggulu, Nirgundi, and Shallaki are frequently used to treat muscular soreness and speed healing.

Ayurveda places a strong emphasis on consuming food, and at Madukkakuzhy Ayurveda Treatment Centre, we offer customised meal regimens that promote muscle health and dosha balance. It is very important to take proper care when a person is suffering from muscular disorders.

Musculoskeletal ailments are injuries and difficulties that affect the human body movement or the musculoskeletal system including muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs and blood vessels. The most common musculoskeletal disease is Arthritis. The arthritis treatment Ayurveda provides helps the patient lessen the devitalizing effec ts of the condition and limit it from getting worse.

Common musculoskeletal disorders are:

• Arthritis
• Knee Joint pain
• Neck & Shoulder pain
• Frozen Shoulder syndrome
• Sciatica
• Disc prolapse

Over the years, the role Ayurveda treatment plays in helping people with MSD has developed prominently and hence can be termed a successful remedy for the ailment. Ayurveda puts emphasis on understanding the ailment in detail like cytological factors, imbalanced Dosha (Biological humour), and digestive fire after a thorough examination of both body and mind of the client. The knowledge imparted by Ayurveda allows for the identification and treatment of the many intricacies within injuries or any illnesses.

Initial symptoms of the musculoskeletal disease are pain, stiffness, swelling, limited range of motion, weakness, fatigue, and lowered physical function. Muscular disorders transpiring in the loss of function of a certain group of muscles can lead to a condition called muscular atrophy.

Another common medical condition is neck pain or cervical pain. It can be caused by a number of disorders. Most commonly it is caused due to neck strain, osteoarthritis, herniated disc, spondylosis, degenerative disc disease or a pinched nerve. Neck pain treatment in Ayurveda is based on the root cause of the pain. If the reason for pain is found to be muscle spasm due to strain caused by posture, it responds effectively to ayurvedic medications and if required, massages are carried out. 

The early signs of musculoskeletal disorders often include discomfort, stiffness, swelling, restricted movement, muscle weakness, tiredness, and a decline in physical ability. When muscle-related conditions impair the function of specific muscle groups, it can lead to muscular atrophy, a state of muscle wasting and loss.

Neck pain, also known as cervical pain, is another widespread concern that can arise from various triggers. Common culprits include neck strain, osteoarthritis, herniated discs, spondylosis, degenerative disc disease, or a compressed nerve. In Ayurveda, neck pain treatment hinges on pinpointing its underlying cause. For example, if the pain stems from muscle spasms triggered by poor posture, it can be effectively relieved with ayurvedic herbal remedies and, if needed, therapeutic massages. To further enhance healing, Panchakarma Treatment in Kerala offers a powerful detox experience that cleanses the body, restores equilibrium, and supports recovery from such conditions.
