Ayurvedic knee pain and arthritis care in Varanasi
Knee pain, stiffness and difficulty walking can have several causes. Osteoarthritis, sometimes discussed as Sandhivata in Ayurveda, is different from inflammatory arthritis, gout, infection or injury. A diagnosis should come before choosing oil therapy or medicines.
Assessment and practical goals
Bring previous X-rays, prescriptions and blood reports. The clinician reviews swelling, morning stiffness, walking ability and other illnesses. Goals may include comfortable walking, stair use and daily activities. A rheumatology or orthopaedic opinion may be advised when needed.
Care options
Appropriate strengthening, activity and weight management are important for osteoarthritis. At Aarogyam Shri Ayurveda, discuss whether supportive therapies such as Janu Basti or other care fit your condition, alongside exercise and prescribed treatment. Evidence and suitability vary; these therapies do not promise cartilage regrowth or permanent cure.
Ask about heat tolerance, skin sensitivity, medicine interactions and how progress will be reviewed. Do not stop arthritis medicines or postpone indicated surgery without discussing it with your treating specialist.
When to seek prompt help
A hot swollen joint with fever, inability to bear weight after injury, sudden major swelling or rapidly worsening pain needs urgent medical assessment.
