Ayurvedic Drugs Physical Exercises and Yogasanas in the Cases of Low Back Pain LBP

Now a day's Low back pain (LBP) is emerged as an important clinical, social,

economic, and public health problem affecting the population indiscriminately. It is a disorder

with many possible etiologies, occurring in many groups of the population, and with many

definitions. Consequently, the vast literature available on LBP is not only heterogeneous but

also contradictory. A clear description regarding the Samprapti, Lakshana of Kati Graha is

explained by the Shodhala in the Kayachikitsa Khanda, Vataroga Adhikara. He has described

various formulations for Kati Shoola and has specifically indicated Trayodashanga Guggulu

for Kati Graha. The prevalence of LBP in Indian population has been found to vary between

6.2% (in general population) to 92% (in construction workers). Low back pain can be medically

and economically devastating and is the number one cause for disability in patients younger

than forty-five years of age and it is the number three cause for disability in patients older than

forty-five years of age. This problem, supposedly has a favourable natural history, although it

can be remarkably disabling, has challenged to the health care providers. Understanding the

role of different medical systems in the management of backache is important for the costeffective

management of the disease. Physician treating backache patients should understand

this, so that they can co-ordinate and integrate functionally based programs, because no single

medication, modality, exercise regimen or other treatment technique may import significant

impact in low backache recovery. (Gupta S et.al 2016)
