SPORTS INJURIES ­- AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT


                                         
                         For example if we consider a case of ACL tear(knee), we should look at the stage of injury,you should need a correct clinical examination and relavant imaging techniques to determine the case. Then only it will be clear regarding the stage and management of the case.In almost all cases of ACL tear and associated soft tissue injuries including tendon and cartilage injuries of first degree, second degree ,third degree and partial tears, ayurvedic treatment gave better results than other systems without surgery. These are some of the findings from our experience
AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT
  • ALLEVIATE PAIN
  • IMPROVE FUNCTION
  • DECREASE DISABILITY
  • STRENGTHENS JOINT
Discussing  ayurvedic treatments we have                               
1.        INTERNAL MEDICNES
2.       EXTERNAL THERAPIES
3.       VARMA CHIKITSA
4.       PHYSIOTHERAPY
5.       ANUSASTRAS
                   
  INTERNAL MEDICINES
                   We have specific formulations from our classics mainly ashtanga hridaya and susrutha which are very effective in managing soft tissues injuries ,there clinical efficacy can be felt within one week of treatment.
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
                        These procedures comes number one in treating  sports injuries, there are many types of treatments starting from LEPANAS, UPANAHA, MASSAGES WITH AND WITHOUT OIL, ELAKIZHI,NJAVARA KIZHI etc   .   BANDAGE/BANDHANA  is one of the important procedure while managing sports injuries, bandages are of different types and we practice almost all types of bandages mentioned in classics and it enables the joint immobility and stability which should be given primary importance considering sports medicine.
VARMA CHIKITSA
                       These procedures specifically mentioned in classics  are the main procedures which increases joint mobility and function along with pain management   in minimum time.     

ANUSASTRAS
                         This include mainly agnikarma and occasionally rakthamoksha(panchakarma) and are very effective in almost all joint involved cases
PHYSIOTHERAPY
                      Combining  physiotherapy   along with ayurvedic  management  increase the success rate in almost all cases. 

                                      From our experience and clinical statistics its clear, regarding management of sports medicine in almost all the cases involving musculoskeletal system  ayurvedic management is more effective  than other systems without surgery.

MARMA HEALING

MARMA THERAPY- CURE WITHOUT ORAL MEDICINES

                         this is again a new methodology in treatment for western people , this protocol of disease management were mentioned and constantly practiced during ancient period with miraculous results in one single session, but due to different factors including foreign invasions and traditional rivalaries made this valuable and truely unimaginable approach in paper and epics.
                                                     we here at kottathil ayurveda are trying to go back to the basics of marma treatment which includes special techniques using hands and postures from outside to normalise body. almost all ayurveda doctors are aware of MARMAS but there are very few around the world who are able to perform the art.
                It was very fortunate for us to get interact with one of the few legends in MARMA therapy and to get enough guidence in management of chronic and acute diseases with BARE HANDS. for an outsider watching--- its MAGIC TREATMENT. but the truth is its all scientific and the ancient scientist have clearly mentioned and described how this happen , the main problem occur when we compare with modern wisdom.
while deeply getting into the subject its very clear, the ancient people which we and books represent as YOGIS or GURUS are actual SCIENTIST of there era, they have explained there approach through there research methodology and made there hypothesis . they treated many people with this and they got results. they had documented all there findings, many are lost and few remaining.

                         the modern era/ scientific era describe those people as RELIGIOUS insaine people with god powers. but its not the truth they incoprated there knowledge and talent into human life and postulated different opinions .
                      From our experience its an art and every doctor should know this management. its totally medicne free, low cost and without any side effects. we can manage almost all diseases affecting human body. for more details regarding treatment please email at mail@kottathilayurveda.com
