Background - Lumbar spine disorders such as lumbar spondylosis, sciatica (Gridhrasi), intervertebral disc bulge, herniation, with ligamentum hypertrophy, etc are common causes of chronic lower back pain and disability worldwide. In Ayurveda, these conditions are primarily understood through the lens of Vata dosha imbalance, particularly affecting Asthi dhatu (bone tissue) and Majja dhatu (nervous tissue). This article explores the Ayurvedic perspective on the pathogenesis, classification, and management of lumbar spine diseases. Objective: This study evaluates the impact of the Ayurveda-based Scientific Reversal Detox Process (SRDP) in the patients of Lumbar spine pathologies in patients adviced spine surgeries and retrospective improvement with specific emphasis on the necessity of the SRDP prior to external therapies. Result: Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in pain, stiffness, and disability scores (ODI), along with an improvement in Straight Leg Raise (SLR) values following SRDP treatment in lumbar disorders.After 60 days of therapy 55.5% of patients showed excellent improvement, 30.15% exhibited moderate improvement, 14.28% experienced mild symptomatic relief Thus, nearly 85% of patients experienced notable relief from lumbar symptoms with SRDP treatment. Conclusion: The SRDP therapy, with its structured focus on detoxification followed by rejuvenation and functional restoration, led to significant relief in pain, stiffness, and improved mobility among patients with lumbar spine disorders. The initial phase of Shodhana (detox) may have enhanced the absorption and effectiveness of subsequent Ayurvedic therapies. This stepwise, integrative approach not only addresses symptomatic relief but also targets the underlying Vata-Kaphaja pathology.
