Chronic radiating pain syndrome

Ayurvedic Management of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

Ayurvedic Pathogenesis:

 In Ayurveda, CRPS is elucidated as a complex interplay of dosha imbalances, Avarana (obstruction/covering), and Dhatu Kshaya (tissue depletion). Trauma or injury disrupts the delicate balance of the doshas, particularly Vata, leading to the formation of Avarana. This obstruction hampers the flow of vital energy (prana) and nutrients to the affected tissues, perpetuating stagnation and dysfunction.

Over time, the presence of Avarana exacerbates Dhatu Kshaya, resulting in depleted and weakened tissues. This depletion compromises the integrity and function of the musculoskeletal system, intensifying pain and associated symptoms. The imbalance of Vata, along with other doshas, further fuels inflammation, pain, and dysfunction, rendering CRPS a challenging condition to manage.

Ayurvedic Treatment Modalities

Panchakarma Detoxification: At Sankarakripa, we employ Panchakarma therapies such as Virechana and Basti to address CRPS comprehensively. These therapies aim to remove Avarana, purge accumulated toxins, and restore the equilibrium of dosha. By facilitating detoxification and rejuvenation, Panchakarma alleviates pain, enhances circulation, and promotes tissue regeneration.

Snehapana (Oleation Therapy): Our treatment protocols include Snehapana, involving the administration of medicated oils or ghee internally and externally. This therapy lubricates the tissues, reduces inflammation, and nourishes depleted dhatus, addressing Avarana and promoting tissue regeneration. Snehapana at Sankarakripa offers relief from pain and stiffness associated with CRPS.

Swedana (Sudation Therapy): Swedana therapies are integral to our approach, utilizing steam or herbal treatments to induce sweating and stimulate circulation. By clearing Avarana, enhancing pranic flow, and alleviating symptoms like swelling and stiffness, Swedana promotes relaxation and mental well-being.

At Sankarakripa, we specialize in offering holistic Ayurvedic solutions for individuals grappling with CRPS. By addressing the underlying pathogenesis and restoring balance to the body and mind, our treatments provide relief from pain, improved function, and enhanced well-being. We prioritize personalized care and tailor treatment plans to individual needs, ensuring comprehensive healing and long-term relief from CRPS
