Brief Summary  

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis in India and it is estimated to affects over 15 million adults every year. Osteoarthritis continues to have serious impact on the lives of elderly people but in the last few decades, Indians in the age-group of 30 to 50 years are falling prey to this disease. By 2025, India is estimated to be the Chronic Disease Capital with 60 million people suffering from arthritis.

Conventional treatments for OA include pain medication (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), exercises, hot and cold therapy, corticosteroid injections and eventually, surgery to repair the joint. Despite conventional treatment, OA is often progressive and frequently leads to chronic pain and disability.3

In osteoarthritis, NICE (National Institute of Health and Care Excellence) Guidelines, United Kingdom, recommends exercise as a core treatment, irrespective of age, comorbidity, pain severity or disability. Exercise should include local muscle strengthening and general aerobic fitness.

In Ayurved Massage is done with medicated oils like Mahanarayan Tel are widely used by Ayurved practitioners to improve the tone of periarticular muscles.
