Effectively Treat Sacroiliitis

According to ayurveda, Sacroiliitis is caused due to aggravation of Kapha and Vata dosha. When these doshas are aggravated, they lead to accumulation of ama in the joints that causes pain. This accumulation of ama and aggravation of doshas is due to unhealthy diet, heavy exercising, stress, and alcohol abuse.

For the treatment for Sacroiliitis, it is important to reverse the effects of accumulated ama and balance the vitiated doshas. This is done by ayurvedic therapies like Udwartana, sarvanga abhayanga, shashtika shaali pinda sweda, patra potali sweda and vasti. Along with this treatment, proper diet and exercise routine are suggested to promote healing and stop further vitiation of doshas. When the causative factor includes stress, the treatment also involves psychological support that is essential to maintain patients’ quality of life. Along with the entire treatment line, herbal medications including- guggulu, vacha, mustak, amalaki, chavya, vidanga, giloy, pippali, shunthi, haridra, maricha, etc. are also given to balance the doshas and ease the pain in joints. This line of treatment helps to reverse the condition in complete natural way.

5. Infection of sacroiliac joint
6. Gout
7. Back pain issues or spine issues
8. Urinary tract infections (UTI)

The most common symptoms of Sacroiliitis are- fever, pain in lower back, leg pain, hip pain and buttock pain. The pain is worsen by sitting for long time and by rolling over in bed.

The condition of Sacroiliitis is common in pregnant women because, during pregnancy the hip and sacroiliac joints loosen naturally. This is due to the fact that body tries to prepare female body for birth and this is also the reason why women have change in walking style. In this condition the sacroiliac joints become inflamed leading to Sacroiliitis.

The physical therapy may include stretching and strengthening exercises for muscles of lower back that will help to support your hips and pelvis.

A spinal disc issue is not a one-time event; rather, it is the result of a series of changes in the disc that eventually lead to rupture or degeneration. These modifications include the following:

• Degenerative alterations in the nucleus are a common occurrence in the event of spinal disc disorders. These modifications take place in the disc before the nuclear material is displaced. These modifications are significant, which includes- weakening and fragmentation of the nucleus, and the posterior half of the annulus is deteriorating and disintegrating.
• Nucleus displacement: The nucleus is always under pressure. The outer ring of fibers is weakened by this pressure (annulus fiber). The nucleus pulposus begins to protrude from the weak and damaged fibers. This is essentially the same as a disc protrusion, which we've all heard about.
• The body has a tendency to heal any harm at this stage of fibrosis. This is the stage where the damage is being repaired. The fibrosis and calcification of the remaining nucleus occurs. However, this type of mending is unhealthy and worsens the situation.
• Changes in structures inhabiting the spinal canal: The nerve root most commonly damaged is the one that exits the spinal canal below the following vertebra.
• Intervertebral joint changes: The height of the disc decreases when part of the nucleus pulposus is lost and fibrosis develops. This causes degenerative arthritis by affecting joint articulation.
