AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON JOINT PAIN

The causes of joint pain can be multi-factorial. Poor posture or alignment of bones places stress on surrounding joints and muscles. The following procedure may help to correct alignment issues:

• Schedule an appointment with a chiropractor, physical therapist, yoga therapist, and massage therapist. Each type of therapy will address different aspects of your condition, for a comprehensive and thorough understanding. Make sure the professionals you seek have a strong background in therapy. There are many massage therapists that focus on stress reduction rather than therapy. Please ask the therapists for exercises you can do at home to improve your condition.
• Do the exercises given to you for a period of three months. Attend a weekly local anusara yoga class by a competent teacher. Anusara is excellent for teaching you proper alignment of your body. Don't be shy to ask your teacher questions before and after class.
• To release holding patterns and increase your conscious awareness of muscle groups and alignment in the target area, practice very slow contraction and release of muscles in the area. Continue until your movement is very smooth. Erratic movement is a sign that you are holding unconscious tension the area. As you release tension, you will be able to feel your pulse throbbing through the area. The process takes at least 1-3 months to complete.
• Finally, schedule another private consultation with a chiropractor, physical therapist, yoga therapist, and massage therapist. The purpose of this meeting is to correct any remaining unconscious patterns, relieve any residual tightness or tension.

If additional work is needed, repeat this process. Herbs can help speed the healing of joint spaces dramatically, so long as corrective measures are taken to reduce strain on the joint.

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3

JOINT PAIN IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 - ATTACKING TISSUE

If you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance. Most people have a weakness in one or more organs. These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.' They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point. Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease. At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease. You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area. At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.
