Strengthen Your Bones, Embrace Vibrant Health: Ayurvedic Solutions for Osteoporosis at Shree Kriya Hospital, Chennai

Are your bones feeling brittle and fragile? Are you worried about the possibility of fractures
hindering your active life? At Shree Kriya Hospital in Chennai, we understand your concerns.
Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by a decrease in bone density, leading to weakened
and porous bones, can significantly impact your quality of life. Imagine bones so delicate that
they can be compressed like a sponge, making everyday movements a potential risk.

This silent thief often progresses without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs,
frequently affecting the spine, hips, ribs, and wrists. While it can affect both men and women,
women, particularly those over 50, face a significantly higher risk, being four times more
likely to develop osteoporosis than men.

Understanding the Factors That Can Increase Your Risk of Osteoporosis:

Several factors can contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Recognizing these risk
factors is the first step towards proactive bone health management:

Age: As we gracefully age, bone density naturally tends to decrease. Individuals over
the age of 30 experience this gradual process.
Gender: Women, especially post-menopausal women, are more susceptible due to
hormonal changes that accelerate bone loss.
Family History: A family history of osteoporosis or fractures indicates a potential
genetic predisposition.
Previous Fractures: Having experienced a bone fracture in adulthood, particularly
from a minor fall, can be a sign of underlying bone weakness.
Certain Medical Conditions: Some diseases, such as Osteoarthritis (OA),
rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism, and certain malabsorption disorders, can
increase the likelihood of developing osteoporosis.
Lifestyle Choices: Unhealthy habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
have been strongly linked to reduced bone density.
Nutritional Deficiencies: Inadequate intake of calcium and Vitamin D, essential
nutrients for bone health, can contribute to bone weakening.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of weight-bearing exercise can hinder bone formation and
maintenance.
Certain Medications: Long-term use of certain medications, such as corticosteroids,
can negatively impact bone density.
Low Body Weight: Individuals with a low body mass index (BMI) may have a
higher risk of osteoporosis.

Shree Kriya Hospital: Your Sanctuary for Holistic Bone Health in Chennai

At Shree Kriya Hospital, nestled in the heart of Chennai, we offer a unique and
comprehensive approach to managing osteoporosis through the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda.
We believe in addressing the root cause of the imbalance and restoring your body’s natural
ability to maintain strong and healthy bones. Our experienced Ayurvedic practitioners

carefully assess your individual constitution (Prakriti) and the specific imbalances (Doshas)
contributing to your condition. Based on this thorough evaluation, we tailor personalized
treatment plans that aim to not only alleviate the symptoms but also strengthen your bones
from within.

Our Ayurvedic Approach to Osteoporosis Management:

Our treatment protocols at Shree Kriya Hospital integrate a combination of time-tested
Ayurvedic therapies and internal medications, all aimed at promoting bone regeneration and
preventing further bone loss.

Snehanam (Oleation Therapy): This therapeutic procedure involves the application
of medicated oils externally and internally. Snehanam helps to nourish the tissues,
improve circulation, and alleviate pain associated with osteoporosis. However, it's
crucial to note that Snehanam is not recommended for individuals with specific
conditions such as stiff thighs, distended abdomen, overactive or weak digestive
systems, anorexia, throat diseases, and increased Kapha Dosha. Our expert physicians
will determine the suitability of this therapy based on your individual assessment.
Vasti (Medicated Enema): Considered a cornerstone of Ayurvedic treatment, Vasti
involves the administration of medicated oils or herbal decoctions through the rectal
route. This therapy is highly effective in balancing the Vata Dosha, which is often
implicated in bone disorders. Vasti helps to nourish the bone tissues, improve their
strength, and reduce pain and inflammation.
Internal Medications: Our experienced Ayurvedic physicians formulate personalized
herbal preparations based on your unique Prakriti and the specific imbalances
identified. These internal medications aim to improve calcium absorption, promote
bone cell regeneration, reduce bone resorption, and strengthen the overall
musculoskeletal system. The specific herbs used will vary depending on your
individual needs and constitution.
Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications: Ayurveda emphasizes the crucial role of diet
and lifestyle in maintaining optimal health. Our practitioners will provide you with
personalized dietary recommendations that focus on incorporating calcium-rich foods
and herbs known to support bone health. We will also guide you on incorporating
gentle, weight-bearing exercises and yoga postures that can help improve bone
density and balance. Stress management techniques will also be recommended to
promote overall well-being.
