Back pain can be of sudden onset as a result of a fall or lifting something heavy, or it can develop over a period of time as you age or even due to consistent poor postures while standing or sitting. Lack of exercise, obesity, smoking, stress too are linked to back pain.
Common causes of back pain:
- Muscle or ligament strain: caused by lifting heavy weights or repetitive motion at work or while playing sports, accidents etc. can cause back pain.
- Herniated disk: Herniated disk, which also known as slipped, ruptured or bulging disk is one of the most common causes of neck, back and leg pain.
- Arthritis: Arthritis can occur anywhere along the spine, but is more frequent in the lower back and neck, causing stiffness and low back pain.
- Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is the thinning and weakening of the bones leading to back pain.
Risk factors
- Age – Back pain gets more common as you age.
- Lack of exercise – Weak, unused muscles in the back and abdomen might lead to back pain.
- Being overweight – Excess body weight puts extra stress on the back.
- Diseases – Some types of arthritis and cancers can contribute to back pain.
- Heavy lifting – Lifting heavy weights can strain the back muscles and spinal ligaments.
- Psychological factors – People prone to stress, anxiety and depression have a greater risk of developing back pain.

Symptoms:

Complete cure for back pain depends on several factors like- severity, nature and cause of the problem, age and physical condition of the patient. Complete cure is usually possible in younger and physically fitter patients.
Most of the ayurvedic medications do not interfere with allopathic, homeopathic or any other system of medication. However, if there is an issue with any particular medicine, the doctor will let you.
Ayurveda medications are usually a very safe and effective option for treating back pain.
At UWAY, our doctors prescribe only proven medicines from well-established and reputed ayurvedic medicine manufacturers. However, just like certain foods do not always agree with everyone always, few ayurvedic medicines may cause mild side effects in some patients. This is very rare though. In case you notice any such issue you can always talk to your consulting doctor or our medical team.
We require most of the medical records related to the current problem, the medicines you are on currently and for pre-existing conditions for diabetes, hypertension, thyroid, cardiac issues etc.
