Personalized Ayurvedic Care for Lower Back Pain (Kati Shoola)
Restore pain-free lumbar mobility with time-tested Ayurvedic therapies and non-invasive spinal rejuvenation.
Understanding Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain (LBP) centered in the lumbar and lumbosacral region is the leading cause of disability worldwide, impairing occupational productivity and quality of life.
In Ayurveda, lower back pain is termed 'Kati Shoola' or 'Kati Graha', where Vata dosha lodges in the Kati (lumbar pelvic basin), causing pain, heaviness, and stiffness.
Swasthik Ayurveda provides comprehensive non-surgical care designed to soothe aggravated Vata, strengthen paraspinal ligaments, and restore lumbar flexibility.
Common Symptoms
- Aching, stiffness, or throbbing pain located in the low back and sacral zone.
- Increased pain when standing up straight after prolonged sitting.
- Inability to lift moderate weights or bend forward without discomfort.
- Muscle spasms tightening across the hips, glutes, and lower lumbar region.
- Morning lumbar stiffness that improves slowly with daytime movement.
Contributing Factors
- Slouching in unsupportive ergonomic chairs for 8-10 hours daily.
- Sudden heavy lifting without engaging core and leg muscles.
- Pelvic torsion, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and leg length discrepancies.
- Weak abdominal and gluteal muscles shifting load to the lumbar spine.
- Chronic Vata-aggravating dietary habits, irregular meals, and late-night routines.

- Pain radiating into the buttock, thigh, or lower extremities.
