Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the intervertebral discs lose their cushioning ability, leading to back pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Ayurveda considers DDD primarily a Vata imbalance, causing degeneration and dryness in spinal tissues. Treatment focuses on nourishing the spine using therapies like Abhyanga (medicated oil massage), Kati Basti (localised oil pooling), and Panchakarma therapy Basti (medicated enema) to restore disc health. Herbal formulations help regenerate tissues, while Rasayana therapies promote cellular rejuvenation. Additionally, yoga, tailored exercises, and dietary adjustments support spinal strength, flexibility, and long-term relief from degenerative changes
