Joint pain – whether it’s a nagging ache in the knees, stiffness in the back, or sharp discomfort in the shoulders – has become a part of modern life. But at Swastik Ayurveda, we look beyond just the surface symptoms. Under the expert care of Dr. Jayesh, we explore the why behind the pain, treating it not just as a physical complaint but as an indicator of deeper systemic imbalance.
Ayurveda teaches us that joint disorders often stem from underlying issues related to digestion, dosha imbalance, lifestyle habits, and the buildup of metabolic toxins (Ama). Rather than offering temporary relief, the Ayurvedic path at Swastik Ayurveda focuses on long-lasting healing by correcting these root causes.
Understanding Joint Pain in the Ayurvedic Way
In classical Ayurvedic understanding, joint disorders are often categorized under Sandhivata—a condition commonly caused by an aggravated Vata dosha. But not all joint pain is Vata-related.
Dr. Jayesh considers a complete picture of each patient’s health—your prakriti (natural constitution), vikriti (current imbalance), Agni (digestive fire), Ama (toxins), and Dhatu (tissue strength)—to understand the root cause of your pain.
Here’s how different doshas influence joint pain:
- Aggravated Vata: Causes dryness, cracking sounds, stiffness, and instability in joints.
- Elevated Pitta: Leads to inflammation, redness, heat, and swelling in joints.
- Dominant Kapha: Makes the joints feel heavy, stiff, and puffy due to fluid accumulation.
Ayurveda doesn’t ask, “What’s the painkiller?” It asks, “Why is there pain?” and “What is sustaining it?”
