Natural Remedy to Knee Pain with Ayurveda & Panchakarma
Knee Pain: No Longer Just an Old Age Problem
The myth that knee pain occurs only in old age no longer exists. In today’s modern lifestyle, knee pain is increasingly common among young people as well.
At Ayulife Ayurveda Clinics, we have successfully treated many patients suffering from knee pain — including those at a critical stage who were advised to go for knee replacement surgery.
Many patients come to us after relying on allopathic medicines or injections, which provided only temporary relief and often caused side effects such as acidity, constipation, and headaches. Patients from different parts of the world, tired of repeated treatments at big hospitals, have found lasting relief at Ayulife.
Under the guidance of Dr. Shallu Garg (BAMS, MD), who has 25 +years of experience in pain management, we combine the wisdom of Ayurveda and Panchakarma to treat even complex cases. Patients, including those over 75 years of age, have experienced remarkable recovery — often within 15–20 sessions.
Typical Causes of Knee Pain
Swelling of the fluid-filled sacs that cushion the knee
Accumulation of joint fluid behind the knee
Gout (deposits of uric acid crystals in the joint)
Dislocation of the kneecap
Fracture of the kneecap or other bones
Tendinitis (inflammation of tendons)
Knee Pain Patient's Reviews, treated at Ayulife
Aging and Its Effects on Knees
With age, the cartilage between the bones wears away, causing the bones to rub against each other. This leads to pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of movement.
Elasticity of cartilage decreases, making joints less flexible.
Obesity accelerates degeneration in knees, hips, and ankles.
Though natural, this degeneration can be slowed down with Ayurveda through lifestyle corrections and therapies.
Inflammation in Joints
Inflammatory arthritis develops when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues. This leads to pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
Example: Rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease.
Crystals in Joints – Gout
Some people naturally produce high levels of uric acid. Excess uric acid accumulates in the body, forming needle-like crystals in the joints.
This causes sudden and severe gout attacks.
If untreated, it may become a chronic condition, leading to disability.
